NBA World Reacts To The Rudy Gobert Rumors

May 3, 2022 by The Spun

A closeup of Rudy Gobert during a game.

The NBA playoffs just commenced the second round, and yet some possible offseason drama may have already begun.

According to SiriusXM’s Sean O’Connell, Rudy Gobert will demand the Utah Jazz either trade him or Donovan Mitchell this offseason. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year reportedly believes it’s a “him or me” situation since he doesn’t think they can win a championship together.

Rudy feels that his own numbers are consistent or getting better, while Don is D liability and is falling off in terms of explosiveness. Gobert also aware of at least 1 Western Conference power that would be willing to pay handsomely for his abilities. (NBA teams never tamper..)

Gobert appeared to deny the report by dismissing the day’s new “rumor” on Twitter.

Everyday has it’s own new “rumor” 🙄

Nevertheless, fans are eating up the potentially juicy plot point. Many of them reached the same opinion that Gobert isn’t enough of a superstar to make such lofty demands.

One fan called this rumored ultimatum “hilarious” while another offered to drive Gobert to their airport out of the Salt Lake City.

If this is real, this is upper echelon irrational confidence by Gobert https://t.co/1SsCC4zUaY

I defend Rudy from time to time but this is hilarious. https://t.co/gRzuFUDweA

If he makes this demand I’ll drive him to the airport myself. Let me know @utahjazz https://t.co/8HandGYbKx

If you can’t get along with Donovan Mitchell, maybe it’s you. https://t.co/2KNpX7XAmq

Whether or not the report is accurate, the notion that Gobert and Mitchell aren’t a championship-caliber pairing received validated once more this postseason. Despite playing three games without Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks eliminated Utah from the playoffs during the first round.

That marked Utah’s third opening-round exit in four years, and the Jazz haven’t reached the Western Conference Finals since 2007.

The Jazz might have reached a point of no return, making this an intriguing develop to monitor.
