Rebuilding is something that no team can escape, even the Bulls, who have won three consecutive titles twice. After losing to the Mavericks in the first round, fans fear that the Jazz, who has been a strong team in the West, will also enter a rebuilding period. In fact, the rumors began before the first round of the playoffs was over, and the sound came from the Knicks executives sitting at the home of Dallas, which was like a draft meeting, and the Knicks were fully prepared for the summer operation. According to the latest news, some media believe that Mitchell's most rational next home is the Heat. Of course, as the jazz's backcourt core, Mitchell would not be stupid enough to publicly say that he had the idea of leaving the team the day after he was out, which would break the hearts of Salt Lake City fans. Although Mitchell said he wouldn't be thinking about leaving the team at the moment, the offseason is long and no one can guarantee that he will change his mind, after all, there is no player who does not want to win a championship, and he has made it clear that he wants to win more in the playoffs.
Mitchell is an attack-focused defender, his passing ability is not strong, it is worth mentioning that as a defender, his breakthrough speed is not top-notch, which will determine his ceiling, which also limits him to becoming a top superstar. Gobert is a player known for his defense, the two-time defensive best player is the best proof, you can't expect him to help you on the offensive end, except in the box, he is basically wasting shooting opportunities. So, on the surface, Mitchell and Gobert are a perfect combination inside and out, and the two trust each other, but they are not the best combination, which is also the fundamental reason why the Jazz can't break through the second round in the playoffs. Defending is important, but you can't win without offense. Not only that, the elderly Conley, the speed can not keep up with Bojan, and the can not pass Clarkson, these are the Jazz's shortcomings.
One thing that the Jazz have so many shortcomings can still be in the playoffs for many years, and even became the Western Conference regular season champions last season, a big reason is that the team has a good head coach, Snyder is the coach who knows the Jazz best, if he leaves, even if Mitchell and Gobert don't go, the Jazz's competitiveness will decline a lot. The Lakers' attitude toward Snyder is serious, and if he is willing to leave the Jazz, the Lakers will not hesitate to send him a multi-year contract, but the Lakers' management does not trust him as much as Juetu, which is the main reason why he is not yet able to make a decision. As we all know, the head coach of the big team is not good, there are superstars such as James and Thick Brow, and there are management of dissenting management, not everyone can adapt, and Snyder has been in the Jazz for many years, and the management has unconditionally chosen to trust him.
