Official Rudy Gobert Trade Ideas Thread

I would absolutely love to get someone young on Donovan’s timeline like RJ Barrett in a Rudy trade. Not sure if that’s feasible or not but that is close to best case scenario for him.
 
A Gobert/Beal swap with us adding picks is interesting. I don’t know if Washington does it though. It does make a lot of sense.
 
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.
Yes and no... Philly has the same issue with Embiid... it’s partly a system thing... we run one system that makes Rudy’s strengths shine... then try to do the same with non-Rudy players and it doesn’t work at all. The defensive talent needs to be better but you need good offensive players to compensate for Rudy’s limitations.
 
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
**** no
 
Ingles, Niang and O'Neal should go too. They always do nothing for the Jazz during the playoffs. Bodan and Clarkson I'd rather keep around again for sure.

The reasons you want to keep Bojan and Clarkson are the same reasons why they have trade value.

We keep O’Neale for sure. We can and should just let Niang walk because he’s a free agent. Ingles might have some trade value, but he is aging. A team looking for cap space next year might want him because he is expiring, but we won’t get anything significant for Ingles.
