A subtweet about effort:
One doesn't become a 3-time All-Star by not putting in an INSANE amount of effort. Like, an amount of effort that most of us have never come CLOSE to.
I'm still not here for the Donovan slander. He's a heckuva player, he gave us some great years, and I wish him the best. And if he happens to become an elite defender, all the better for him. I'm happy we got to enjoy his offensive prowess and pizzazz as long as we did.
Here’s Blake Anderson’s answer regarding his comments this weekend, edited only slightly for brevity and clarity. I would strongly, strongly encourage you to read all of it

"I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy" into RCS, says Tim Cook in response to a question at Code. "I would love to convert you to an iPhone."
"I can't send my mom certain videos," says the questioner.
"Buy your mom an iPhone," says Tim.
@NBASarah I paid the most I've ever paid for my season tickets for unimpressive upper bowl seats... It seemed justifiable until the Jazz blew it all up, and now I'm wondering if there's any chance the Jazz will lower the prices and partially refund? Is that something teams ever do?
2017-2021 were my 4 favorite Utah Jazz seasons of ALL TIME.
17-18: Rookie Donovan Mitchell😱. Slam dunk champ. Should have won ROY. Gobert 1st DPOY. Quin Snyder coaching circles around OKC
18-19: Ricky Rubio💚 Kyle Korver💚 Donovan Mitchell💚 Rudy Gobert✌️DPOY
1/🧵
Nuggets, hands down. We had a good shot at advancing to WCF… and that could have made all the difference in the mindset and the matchup the following year
Donovan Appreciation Tweet:
Dude embraced the community, worked his tail off, and brought some incredible moments to the Jazz
He never held the franchise hostage and was more than willing to come back for the 2022 season. Gave the Jazz the leverage they needed to get this done
Thank you so much @spidadmitchell for the 5 AMAZING years with the Utah Jazz!!
I'll be cheering for you from Utah throughout your career🙏
Go tear it up with @cavs😤
Holy crap. A trade was destined to happen but I had hoped it wouldn't... Definitely didn't expect this to be the trade!
Gonna miss Donovan. He saved our rebuild earlier and ushered in a super fun era for the Jazz. Sad to see the era officially end 😞
Full trade: Utah is trading Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland for Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, sources tell ESPN.
