NBA Rumors: Rudy Gobert To Give Jazz An 'It's Him Or Me' Ultimatum

The discord between Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell in Utah may have just hit the point of no return. According to a report, Gobert is about to deliver an "it's him or me" type ultimatum to the Jazz. 

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.

Sean O'Connell of SiriusXM sports says that a source close to the situation has informed him 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." O'Connell adds that Gobert feels they can't win a championship together. 

According to the report, Gobert said he knows of "at least one Western Conference power that would be willing to pay handsomely for his abilities."

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..)

Could Rudy possibly be referring to at least one team we discussed on the weekend?  

Gobert has seen the latest rumors, and felt the need to add his own comment to the mix Monday afternoon:

Everyday has it’s own new “rumor” 🙄

"Everyday has its own new 'rumor' 🙄", tweeted Gobert. 

This is a situation we'll be keeping a close eye on in the days to come.
