The relationship between Utah Jazz stars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell began to fall apart when Gobert, the Typhoid Mary of North American Covid, got Mitchell sick after shutting down the whole NBA.
It hasn't gotten better since.
Last week, the Jazz were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the second time in three years.
There are now reports that Gobert has told Jazz management it's either Mitchell or him.
Rudy Gobert is at "him or me" point with Donovan Mitchell and will demand that one of them be traded in next few days, per @realOCsports

“Rudy feels that his own numbers are consistent or getting better, while Don is D liability and is falling off in terms of explosiveness,' reports realOCsports.
Mitchell has long been tied to the New York Knicks and Gobert to the Golden State Warriors.
Something tells us the Warriors with Gobert would be monsters whereas the Knicks with Mitchell would be eating that lottery cheese.
So for the sake of the rest of the NBA, it better be Mitchell to the Knicks.
