Gobert Addresses Rumor That He Has ‘Him or Me’ Issue With Donovan Mitchell
Written by SOURCE on May 2, 2022
Just a few days after the Utah Jazz were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks, a report surfaced on Monday claiming that Rudy Gobert had reached a “him or me” point with teammate Donovan Mitchell.
“I know I am not usually @utahjazz breaking news guy, but a source close to situation has informed me that Rudy Gobert is at ‘him or me’ point with Donovan Mitchell and will demand that one of them be traded in next few days. Doesn’t feel they will win championship together,” SiriusXM’s Sean O’Connell wrote on Twitter.
“Rudy feels that his own numbers are consistent or getting better, while Don is D liability and is falling off in terms of explosiveness,” he continued. “Gobert also aware of at least 1 Western Conference power that would be willing to pay handsomely for his abilities. (NBA teams never tamper…).”
A few hours after O’Connell’s tweet went viral, Gobert hopped on Twitter to seemingly deny the report.
“Everyday has it’s own new ‘rumor,’” Gobert wrote.
