    And once they get water, it will be there forever because the earth is flat and it won't flow anywhere.

    Mitchell didn't directly quote it to the media...it was Brian Windhurst and D Wade that brought my attention to the story and Mitchell had a big problem when he got covid with Gobert....I didn't make up shit.....post your own subject matter and dictate to yourself...or not. I thought it was interesting and expressed why....and I speculate about trades just like everybody else for whatever that's worth...nobody needs to agree with it or give it any thought...choices

    here's one....there are several articles
    There are whispers that Donovan Mitchell doesn't want to play for the Jazz in Utah anymore. He wants to go somewhere else. ... Mitchell has not directly commented on the matter, one that was publicly noted by ESPN's Brian Windhorst, that Dwyane Wade is concerned Mitchell wants to play elsewhere.Jul 2, 2021

    I didn't claim any of it was fact....I said I read about it and heard about it but I come here to talk about hoops...not condescend...if you want to quote me I ask that you be civil about it or just don't engage....this place should be fun...I've no time for snark.

    disagreeing that donovan mitchell is asking for a trade out is not snark. it's just calling out fake news.

    perhaps it was a bit harsh, apologies.

    but come on man, you've been around long enough to parse out nonsense like that. there is 0 chance of mitchell getting traded the year his 5yr max kicks in. and you spoke of that like it was a fact.

    If you go back to my original post about "if I were Philly I'd talk to the Jazz" post....you'd see it as speculation and that's all...fact is nobody around here knows shit about the inner workings of franchises....so yeah...it's water cooler talk about basketball...biggest problem with typed words is you can't hear how they're spoken...it's how you read something not how they type it more often than not..being an owner I figured D Wade might have some insight into it and he was the source

    maybe i have no idea, just thinking it's odd that Philly would spend 2 mil on a random pick for themselves.

    maybe toronto wants a pick also?
