After being eliminated 2-4 by the Lone Rangers, the Jazz's future began to become less optimistic, and the outside world thought that Utah seemed to need a drastic reform. To make matters worse, the relationship between Donovan-Mitchell and Rudy Gobert became increasingly strained.
In the first round of the playoffs, Mitchell's selfish playing style seriously hurt the team, Gobert's offensive means were already single, but he was still excluded on the field, extremely depressed, and it was inevitable that he would be hot-headed and make remarks that were not conducive to unity.
Gobert once praised Booker's defense, "I've been watching him [Booker], and you can see that they pride themselves on defending, doing everything they can to stop each other on the defensive end, which became part of the culture of victory." ”
League sources said Gobert had violated the rules of the locker room by publicly accusing his teammates of the remarks that completely annoyed the Mitchell camp. Jazz Self Media retweeted McMahon's article and wrote: "Can the Jazz's dressing room still be saved? ”
The Migo twins have been working together for 5 seasons, they've struggled to make history in the playoffs, patience between the two camps is running out, and it's time for the Jazz to make a binary choice.
Because Gobert's contract is relatively large, it is not difficult for the Jazz to send him away, but Mitchell and the Knicks, the Heat have been rumored, but the Jazz management clearly proposed to rebuild around Mitchell at the first time out, obviously they still have hope for it, but Gobert and Mitchell are incompatible, how to cut the knife with the back of the jazz's palms and hands?
