Official Rudy Gobert Trade Ideas Thread

Jaylen Brown + Marcus Smart would make me think hard.

Lmao we call Boston asking for Brown alone and they laugh while hanging up.

I don't see any team in the league touching that contract with a 10 foot pole.

Charlotte would. Rudy fits there absolutely perfectly with LaMelo Ball.

I doubt they'd trade Brown for Rudy, let alone throw in Smart.

I’d trade Rudy for draft picks. We aren’t exactly a young team.

Conley is likely gone. Joe and Royce should stay.

I doubt Bojan nets us the type defenders we need to succeed around Rudy so Rudy will be traded.

We need Jerami Grant.

Don, Royce, Grant and Bojan has some balance. Our perimeter defense just got stronger. Add in some bulldogs to that mix. We need Beverlies.

Detroit isn't trading Grant, even for Rudy. He's their best player and biggest FA acquisition in years.

To note - I'm still team Rudy, but if we do trade him I like the GS package as it's more of a teardown package.

3 way with PDX/PHI? Probably needs some balancing, but I don't hate the basics.

CJ to Philly
Simmons to Utah
Gobert to Portland

Someone like Sacramento would absolutely take his contract.

We could probably get our choice of Barnes/Hield + Bagley + first-round picks.

Just look at the defensive numbers when Rudy is off the floor - even if you trade him, the rest of the team is still trash on defense. That needs to change either way.

100% This. But how do we get starters that are better defenders? Other than Rudy, Bojan and Clarkson are about the only players that could net us a starting caliber player. I loved the Fav for DJJ idea from Portland in another thread. Two MLE signings that didn’t work for either team as hoped.

This might be my vendetta against Simmons talking, but I'd rather have CJ. I'm not sure I could stand watching Simmons have to shoot 33% from the line all season long.

Official LoPo trade idea:

Rudy to Charlotte
for
Rozier, Graham, Bridges, Washington, and 3 1st round picks

I have absolutely no idea. I've tried to avoid thinking of any trades or offseason moves, but yeah, our hands are pretty tied.

If we want to keep Rudy, then you have to keep Conley since he's an asset who fits with Rudy that we can't let leave for nothing.

So our tradeable assets become Bojan and Clarkson. Joe won't have tangible value and Royce isn't worth trading.

So what could Bojan and/or Clarkson get us? I don't think much. Well not much in terms of quality perimeter defenders who aren't complete offensive liabilities.
