Are you his mom or his lawyer ?
Trading or letting Rubio go would be a BIG mistake for the Jazz! Despite some of his minor deficiencies, he's a Jazz guard from the getgo with a solid understanding of what works for the Jazz offense, and has more solid games than bad ones! He's very coachable and has improved his game with the Jazz every year!
Understanding of what works and doing what works are 2 different things. He has not improved his game with the Jazz every year and even if he had (which he has not) it would be irrelevant without playoff win progress. Year 1 he averaged 13.1 PPG, 1.6 SPG, 4.6 RPG, with a 42% FG%
Year 2 he averaged 12.7 PPG, 1.3 SPG, 3.6 RPG, and shot 40%
What works is being able to hit open 3's in the course of a game. What works, is a player that can stop the defense. Nothing about him works. It might work in China, but not in the NBA. I thought it was pretty clear throughout the year. Perhaps you didn't watch the Jazz play?
Haywood is a ****, are we all in agreement?Rubio was the player the rockets decided to iso against Harden most plays. His defense is decent but not great. He had a couple of good games against the rockets but the rockets sat deep in the paint and dared us to shoot threes. They wouldnt do that if we had lillard or conley or Lowry at the point. But Rubio or Westbrook or other 31% shooters? Sure.
Our identity is a team that wants to spread the floor to allow Gobert and donovan mitchell the room to work the paint. We hence NEED defensive oriented and 40% 3 point shooters to be successful. Otherwise, teams will always double up on the paint and therefore will cut off both donovan's drive and Gobert's lobs.
George Hill was a good choice and he thrived here. People talked about him as a potential all star that year. He was a defense oriented, stretch point.
Rubio, as much as I like him, is not the type of player we need. Hayward screwed us because we were going to sign Lowry that year. So ima gonna take a dump on Haywrads Moms chest.

Although not a superstar by any means, Rubio was more of an asset than just about anybody else on our team during the Rocket series! EVERYBODY on our team was missing 3 point shots but Rubio contributed in other ways to keep those two games close! Our big guys missed easy shots, Mitchell played poorly, due to his own decision making, other than one guy on the bench, they all played poorly. Our defensive schemes left a lot to be desired. You can't blame any of that on Rubio, who pound for square inch of flesh, was probably the most valuable commodity we had!
Rubio should sign with Dallas. I can't think of a better fit. His shooting isn't as big of a freak on that team, and they could use the veteran presence. Not sure how high they are on Brunson, but that can't be that invested in him and Burke adds their PGs.
Yup, but I would take his dumbass back in a second for the right trade. Him at his Jazz level is exactly what we need.Haywood is a ****, are we all in agreement?
I think we get equal results with a guy like Shelvin Mack.I guess I’m having a hard time seeing a path for how we get an upgrade from Rubio at the PG spot. We don’t have the assets to trade for Conley and Kemba isn’t coming.
Much better chance at getting a shooter in FA at the 4. Harris, Miro, etc. all seem realistic.

I could see Bulls being a home for Rubio. Seems like they want to get into playoff hunt with addition of Otto Porter. Rubio would be an upgrade from Kris Dunn.
