I think it’s possible Rudy and Donovan work out their issues. I also think they’ve never worked all that seamlessly together and after this I just don’t think that will ever get significantly better. So here’s my question. In the situation it’s not going to work, and questions regarding Rudy’s payday. Would it be worth just fully showing Donovan 100% commitment to him, trading Rudy(hurts to type that), and trying to and hopefully sign Derrick Favors back at a reasonable price? You wouldn’t be quite as good. But Derek is a great center, is still 28, and tbh has a good relationship with Donovan by all accounts as well as keeps some financial flexibility open.
 
Yes I am all for trading Rudy. No, I am not for trading Rudy and replacing him with Favors who never stays on the court for more than a handful of games at a time before his back acts up.

We can do better.
 
it would all depend on who we got back in trade

Quick glance at rosters

Gobert for Bradley Beal - pair Mitchell and Beal in the backcourt amazing

Gobert for Paul George - maybe

Gobert for Klay Thompson - Maybe

Gobert for Porzingis - yes

Boston may have some assets left maybe

Gobert for Brandon Ingram - lesser maybe

Gobert for Zach Lavine and draft picks (or Markhanen) - maybe

Atlanta with picks and or young talent maybe (lesser)

New York has some young piece and draft picks that could be interesting

again just a quick scan
 
You trade Gobert for Paul George and LA wins the next two titles.
 
As it stands, the Jazz are really just one player away from genuinely contending for the next 3 years. Add a dynamic, 2-way wing between Mitchell and Gobert and the Jazz are really solid.

If you trade Gobert, you're pushing back the team's timeline. We'll be competing head to head with teams like the Grizzlies with Ja Morant and JJJ, with the Pels who have Zion and Ingram, etc.

The Jazz would have to get back a player like James Wiseman or Obi Toppin, plus a high 1st round pick, before I'd think about making a trade. The only other circumstance would be Rudy telling the Jazz he doesn't plan to re-sign after next season.

I have never heard of either of those guys you mentioned that you would want in a trade

This team would be a defensive abomination without Rudy. A tiny backcourt, no legitimate PF, slow footed wings. We are 11th defensively now, that would drop into the mid 20s without Rudy.

I wish the roster for the next season to be like that:
Conley/Mudiay/JWF
Mitchell/Clarkson/Tucker
Bogdanovic/O'Neale/Oni
Wood/Brantley/Morgan
Gobert/Bradley/Udoh
IMO this team has enough offensive power, good defenders and youth to be contenders, at least on paper. I don't think Rudy will change team unless the FO let him go.

They're probably the top two bigs in this coming draft. The Warriors could conceivably offer one of them for Gobert.

That explains it. I'm extremely ignorant about college bball
