Trade for Ben Simmons

His offensive stats are as bad as Simmons but Jazz can sign him for 10% of what Simmons

The dudes made of glass. He needs to just retire already.
 
I love Ben Simmons the player but goddamn do I hate his character.

Still, I think he has his convictions about how he should be used and play PG and all but he also hasn't been used correctly. I think Quin can do something there Doc and Brett Brown couldn't do.

Also we could just spam Spain PnR with Simmons as the ball-handler, Gobert as the screener and Bojan as the pindown/shooter. It would be near unstoppable.

Makes more sense if it’s essentially Gobert for Simmons.

If his value has fully tanked like fans are suggesting (I don't think it has but it's definitely not as high as it was) and you could somehow get Ben without trading Gobert then use Gobert as a trade asset to bolster your roster I think it's something that would have to be potentially looked at very closely

If you can, maybe, sure. I think that would be getting kinda cute with it and I don’t think the team needs to be blown up.

At the end of the day, it turns out guarding 5 positions actually is more important in the playoffs. Additionally, spacing is no less important, so having both (at their cap numbers and egos) makes 0 sense.

I’m happy to keep Rudy, but the amount of change and luck that’s going to have to happen to compensate for his fatal weaknesses is hard to imagine suddenly materializing.

I thought the trade was bojan, Clarkson and a pick though.
So bojan being a better true shooter wouldn't apply. He wouldn't be on the jazz anymore.

You would be looking at Simmons, Donovan, Royce, somebody, gobert from what I can gather.

Me no likey

I wouldn't trade Bojan as part of that deal. I would offer:

S&T Conley and Clarkson for Simmons

Philly gets an All Star and the 6th Man. Maybe I toss in #30 too.

But that's it. Simmons and Rudy won't work a lot in the playoffs, but we would have more talent with this trade. After this deal, we could look at trading Rudy in October.

I agree i'm very happy to keep Rudy as well and fully expect him to be on the roster next season barring any major developments but the Jazz need to be smart if they want to overcome his lack of certain abilities. My only worry is they are so asset poor and have no cap space to maneuver it's gonna be extremely difficult.
 
I was thinking this early … getting him , you’d have to trade Rudy , a third team would be involved

Playing small ball with him as centre , like warriors do with Green .. surround him with 4 shooters , runs the floor and more mobile then Rudy.
 
I can’t advocate for trading for someone as mentally fragile as Simmons. He has no desire to improve-he’s actually gotten worse on offense since he’s been in the league. The guy passed up an open dunk because he was afraid he’d get fouled and have to shoot a free throw. Sixers fans are ripping him a new one for a good reason.
