Utah Jazz Supermarket is open! Mitchell is not for sale, Anji really needs to be operated on by Gobert !
can maintain an uninterrupted playoffs in the Wild West for six years. What you have to admit is that the Utah Jazz is really a powerful team in the Western Conference! But it seems that they are almost always close to something. Although they can't say it, they just feel that way. Because even though they have a balanced offense and defense and have the best regular season record in the league, they always miss out on the Western Conference championship, let alone the finals and championship! So after being eliminated by the young Mavericks in the first round of this year's playoffs with a score of 4:2, this regular team in the Western Conference playoffs began to become precarious!
In this year's playoffs, the two cores of Gobert and Mitchell once again had irreconcilable conflicts, and this time it seems that they are really going to have to part ways! For jazz , choosing one or the other may be inevitable. But their team management doesn't have to break up the inside and outside duo. After all, keeping them will guarantee the playoffs! But what is unexpected is that now the team coach Snyder has chosen to leave first. During the eight years of coaching the Jazz, Snyder led the team to the playoffs for six consecutive years. What can you say about him? Shouldn't you choose to leave? But it really happened, and the Jazz even offered him a contract extension with an annual salary of tens of millions, but he still resolutely chose to refuse to renew and stay with the team! This can also be seen from the side, and earthquakes within the Jazz may be inevitable. It stands to reason that Snyder, who is having a good life with the Jazz, has no reason to choose to leave Salt Lake City. He is supported here, and receives flowers and applause!
As everyone knows, Snyder's departure is actually the beginning of the Jazz's reconstruction! Because the Utah Jazz Supermarket clearance sale is about to begin. According to TA Jazz reporter Tony Jones, only Donovan Mitchell of the Jazz team is not for sale, and other players including Rudy Gobert can be traded. According to reports, league sources revealed that many teams are currently interested in Gobert and Bojan Bogdanovic, and the Jazz are expected to become the leader in the transaction market.
It can be seen that the Jazz is about to launch a large-scale liquidation mode in the trading market! Because Mitchell is the only one in the team who is not for sale. If you are interested in the others, you can take them away as long as the price is reasonable! Obviously, Rudy Gobert will be the big fish in this year's trade market. This double-double machine is an inside killer that most teams are eager to have. His super long wingspan will be able to block the sky. The team builds a barrier in the penalty area, which is definitely what the championship teams dream of. In particular, the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls have expressed extremely strong interest in Gobert. If these two teams can get Gobert, they will definitely make a good turnaround next season and become a team that truly has a say in the Eastern Conference!
The Utah Jazz signed Rudy Gobert to a five-year supermax contract worth 205 million on December 20, 2020. At that time, their original intention of renewing the contract was definitely to create the core duo of Gobert + Mitchell to compete for the championship, but now it seems that this plan had to fail in advance! Putting Gobert on the shelf means that they will lose their qualification to compete for the championship.
Obviously, Jazz general manager Angie supported Mitchell in giving up Gobert. In fact, he was telling the outside world very clearly that he was really going to take action on Gobert this time! I don't care if Gobert is a 200 million center, as long as he is, no one Anji wants to trade will be able to stay in the end, and Gobert will definitely be no exception this time!
