    I love this quote. I wish Ainge were our GM or CEO or whomever made decisions.

    "This season wasn't very much fun this year," Jazz CEO Danny Ainge said Saturday. "This draft wasn't fun. Free agency wasn't very much fun. You're over the tax, no draft picks and our team loses in the first round. It wasn't fun for us. We want it to be fun for our fans and our players, but we just haven't had much flexibility to do anything over the last little while."

    I don't see the comparison at all. Mitchell is bigger & much more athletic while CJ is a much better shooter.

    Bigger? A bit yes. More athletic? Not so sure?
    CJ a better shooter probably.
    Is Mitchell less charming and much less likable?
    Absolutely!
    CJ with better PR and not playing behind Dame will compare pretty well IMO.

    Jazz Brass already admitted as much. Said they missed their window. Total rebuild mode.

    Blazers thump their chest with stats of x years making playoffs in the last decade.

    Hey were not contenders but we can be underdogs proving the national media wrong.

    I'd take Donavan over CJ twice on Sunday.

    I knew this if you are trying to make a point?
    He’s a bit bigger yes. His dunks sucked. Not even as good as Ants? Which were mediocre at best.

    good grief dude, what sucks is this comparison... why so defensive about something so stupid? Mitchell's dunks won a dunk contest while CJ never was considered for competing in one for obvious reasons.

    Mitchell is like a prime Baron Davis. While, CJ is like Ricky Pierce.

    If we trade for Mitchell I say we don't allow him to compete in the dunk contest.

    I think Mitchell is better than CJ but I don’t think the gap is that wide.

    I really don’t think it’s that wide either?

    Okay. I don’t have a problem with the comparison. You seem to. I’m fine with that.

    How do you know he hasn't grown 4" in the offseason like Ant has?

    The Jazz will probably get some young talent and a shit load of picks for Mitchell to go along with the shit load of picks they got from the TWolves. This is how you rebuild correctly imo.
