Rudy Gobert's Instagram Message for Kobe and JazzFanz...

I'm too busy scooping up all these tweets that validate what I've been saying for 9 months. But I promise you I'll take a break soon. Stay strong, bro.

I have no idea what you're talking about but keep at it.
 
Love Gobert & the intangibles that he brings. His attitude & work ethic are going to be a big factor in getting this team to that next level. Even if we were to win a championship, I don't think Gobert would be satisfied. Can't have enough of those type of personalities on your team.

If history has any predictive value, then you'll be mimicking what I've been saying in about 2-5 weeks. You won't be able to credit me as the source of your "insight", but you'll understand eventually, one way or another.

You think so? Then maybe you've stumbled on the problem this team has, because I was very disappointed in Rudy's development this year. At the start of the season, I actually thought we had stolen one of the premier centers of the league with that 27th pick, but by the end of season I was wondering what it would take to get an upgrade.

Addictionary may have it right, the French NT drained him last summer. Frankly, if Gobert plays for France again this summer, then I hope DL bundles him in a trade for someone that can help the Jazz on BOTH ends of the floor.

Yeah, I said it.

I completely agree. To a lesser degree, I feel the same about Exum. I have concerns if he goes. How much court time is he really going to see anyway in games? I feel like the Olympics are one huge ****fest so his mind won't be in the right place as far as taking non-game time seriously. I also seriously worry that the coaches and staff have no vested interest in making sure he is healthy or helping him.

These guys need to get fully healthy, spend legit time together working on their crafts, playing ball, pushing each other, and developing on and off court chemistry. True team work. Don't get me wrong. They need to first get away for a bit and like I said, get healthy. But then, they need to (or I want them to) fully commit to getting better. P3 doesn't factor into that for me. Shooting does though. A ton of shooting.

**** the playoffs as a goal. I want the 4th seed and 52 wins.

i really really really don't want Rudy to play. It's not gonna help his game. He needs months off to freshen his legs and work on strength and ONE post up move that can be high %
 
Jazzfanz: We want tough and gritty players who play with fire and passion.

Jazzfanz: We want players who will sit out a chance to play for their country in the Olympics.

You putting things too much into a box here.
Yes we want tough gritty players players with fire and passion... But I don't think that you have to play in the Olympics to be tough, gritty, fiery, passionate players. I don't remember Charles oakley ever playing in the Olympics.

We want the guys to stay healthy, spend time with the team and coaches, and work on their game with teammates and coaches.

I'm ok with them playing in the olympics but I would just prefer that they don't. Also the Olympics don't resemble nba basketball all the closely so I'm not so sure it would help that much. (DL mentioned this today as well.... About the international game being way different than the nba game)
