The All-Star guard revitalized the franchise but wasn’t able to deliver on championship aspirations, writes Tribune sports columnist Gordon Monson.
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell drives the decibel level up from the fans for a free throw by the Nicks as the Utah Jazz and the New York Nicks play an NBA basketball game at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City on Monday, Feb. 7, 2022.”You love her but she loves him, and he loves somebody else, you just can’t win. And so it goes, ‘til the day you die, this thing they call love is gonna make you cry. I’ve had the blues, the reds and the pinks, one thing for sure, love stinks.
And maybe they’ll make everyone look back and wish the Jazz had gone on building with Mitchell and Gobert, not without them. The worst of it is, everyone can see the logic in the move. Some around here will be excited about it.A lot of things happened over that span, foremost among them a pandemic that affected the Jazz, it can be said, more than any other NBA outfit. The team’s plate tectonics between its two major continents — Gobert and Mitchell — widened during that time, with allegedly little hope of reversing the crustal float.
All the bold talk that once came from Mitchell and Gobert about winning a championship will now only be fulfilled by them apart, on separate teams in separate cities in different states, if at all.
