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.
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.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.
**** noTo 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
Why do the need Rudy? They have budget Rudy.My preferred trade partner is Atlanta. The have a lot I like and there has to be some moves there that make sense for both teams.

There are a lot of teams desperate to make the playoffs out there…This is the problem. I don't even want to imagine the trash we'd have to take on to get out of his deal
The reasons you want to keep Bojan and Clarkson are the same reasons why they have trade value.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.
