What do you do with Rubio long-term?

[David Stern]

Unfortunately we haven't seen PG Mitchell against very many good teams, but he's coming off the best 5 game stretch of his career. I'd like to see this experiment continue, so I'd try starting Dante off-ball and bringing Ricky off the bench so that Donovan gets more PG experience. Ricky has been very up and down in his career. I'd love to keep him on the team in a long-term backup/6th man role. Where do you think Rubio fits long-term with this team?

Trade him..

What I do with Rubio long term - trade him for an asset now since I'm inclined not to re-sign him in the offseason.

What will the Jazz do - Start him when he gets back, if they make a trade at the deadline they re-sign Rubio, if they try to make their move in FA they let him walk unless they can't get their FA targets.

I firmly believe that as long as Ricky's here he's going to continue to start, I don't think Quin will ever bench him. If we want Dante or Donovan to be the starting point guard eventually then we're either going to have to trade Ricky or not re-sign him.

Can't see DL doing anything long term.

I had something like this in mind...

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I don’t know... I do feel strongly that we should only keep one of him or Exum... we don’t have to decide now but if one can be moved for help at another position I’d prolly do it.

Exum for Niko.

May depend on outback FA options at PG. No way we roll with just Exum and Neto at PG unless Dante explodes.

Donovan has been playing lights out after starting at pg and the jazz have won 5 straight. Right now, he's the Damian Lillard for the Jazz and is tearing it up. I'm going to feel a little bit uneasy when Rubio returns. I like Rubio but he's too unpredictable at most times and becomes Bricky Ricky too many times. It pains me to say this, but I'd trade him now for a player will helps in the playoffs. But then again, DL will never do that as of right now.

It's hard to say because of the limited time available to

that is exactly what is going to happen. Wish Granted!!! Congratulations. You don't have to respond to all ten dozen threads, and I'm no psychic, but you will respond to all. You know it and so do I.
