I'd guess that new guy may get the two way

[QUOTE] Tony Jones: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]The Utah Jazz are letting the 10 day contract for Danuel House expire tomorrow,[/URL] according to sources. The Jazz are high on House and believe he can help their team. Utah has to sign a 10 day by the 18th, and House is a candidate to be that signing

looked good in the game he played

The Utah Jazz have been one of the NBA’s best teams for a number of seasons. But they are yet to take that next step forward and join the league’s elite teams when it matters, in the postseason. Three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner Rudy Gobert sounded off on what he believes separates the Jazz from the league’s elite, like the Warriors and Suns. [URL="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-rudy-gobert-calls-out-jazz-teammates-says-warriors-suns-are-a-step-ahead/"]“When I watch some of these other teams like the Suns or the Warriors, those guys are a step ahead in terms of winning habits.[/URL] They take every game personally. Devin Booker is playing his ass off defensively… Guys like that, they buy in, and you can tell they take pride in playing defense and stopping their man, doing whatever they can defensively to stop the other team and be part of a winning culture. I think we’re not there yet, but I think we’re gonna get there.”

[QUOTE]Why did he specially bring up Booker — a player who is regularly compared to Utah's own Donovan Mitchell? Read into that what you will. The overall point, however, doesn't take much to get: The Jazz have to develop better habits if they want to make a deep run in the playoffs. Mitchell, himself, expressed similar sentiments following recent losses to the Pacers and Pistons.

[/QUOTE]

it's true. Booker sets screens and tries to play D

Ben Anderson: I asked Donovan Mitchell about the ESPN report saying he may want to play in a bigger market, he cut me off: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]“Y’all like to talk a lot when we lose. I don’t understand. Y’all like to just keep all the negative stuff when we start losing, when we’re winning there’s nothing said.”[/URL]

Eric Walden: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]Asked about the Brian Windhorst report about him wanting to play in a bigger market, Donovan Mitchell cuts off the question, notes that in his mind, all the questions he gets when the team is losing are negative, and says it’s simple: “We’re trying to win a championship.”[/URL]

Eric Walden: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]Don, on Rudy seeming to call the team out publicly: “We all as a group hold each other accountable.[/URL] That’s his way, I guess. I’m not too concerned about it. His just happened this way. Cool.”

Eric Walden: Jordan Clarkson, on why he liked the tweet about Rudy Gobert commenting on the defense: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]“It’s just defense. It’s all focus. It is what it is. That’s what we’re going to hold our hat on, that’s what we’ve been talking about all year. Just defense. … We know what we gotta do.”[/URL]

Eric Walden: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]Jordan Clarkson, when asked if he felt like Rudy was talking to the perimeter players: “I ain’t gonna talk about it no more. It ain’t like he pointed out a big man. We know what we gotta do.”[/URL]

Eric Walden: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]Quin Snyder on Rudy Gobert’s “winning habits” comment: “You can make the argument that none of this matters if we’re playing at our best at the right time. And that’s my focus. … Many times there’s slippage in your habits, and it’s important to recognize that.”[/URL]

he might fit

[QUOTE]To him, it hasn't been a surprise the Jazz have struggled without Gobert. The same way it wouldn't have been a surprise to see the team struggle without Mitchell or Mike Conley. Each season will have ups and downs — the Jazz are just in a low moment.

[/QUOTE]

they haven't played well without Conley this year but yes it would be a surprise because as long as Gobert plays they win games

[QUOTE]While the Jazz are in the midst of their longest losing streak since February of 2020, they are also aware of the fact that they have lost these games while dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, and that it’s not wholly reflective of who they are as a team.

[/QUOTE]

it's who they are and have been for a long time without Gobert

[QUOTE]It was the second part of that quote that has incited speculation across the National Basketball Association. Is the implication that Donovan Mitchell is [I]not[/I] playing his a** off?

[/QUOTE]

well is he? He supposedly has to rest on D because offense is so taxing for him

[QUOTE][B]76ers receive: Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Joe Ingles[/B]

[B]Jazz receive: Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris[/B]

[/QUOTE]

Simmons makes no sense. Harris sure!

[QUOTE][B]Heat receive: Donovan Mitchell[/B]

[B]Jazz receive: Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, Max Strus, 2028 Second-Round Pick[/B]

[/QUOTE]

That one I like better but Conley and Lowry don't make much sense
[QUOTE]
[B]Knicks receive: Donovan Mitchell[/B]

[B]Jazz receive: RJ Barrett, Evan Fournier, Alec Burks, 2024 First-Round Pick, 2026 First-Round Pick[/B]

[/QUOTE]

I like that one best but COTY didn't like Burks so replace him with something else

[QUOTE]Giving up RJ Barrett would probably hurt since he’s so young and full of potential. That being said, Mitchell is already a proven All-Star and would be able to lead them to the playoffs for many years to come.

[/QUOTE]

would he be an all star or lead anyone to the playoffs without Gobert?
