Donovan Mitchell Trade Threads

[LoPo]

We are likely around 7ish million over the tax… without looking and calculating… so we’d likely be out of the tax in this scenario.

I think their ideal scenario is building with RJ but if we have to take Randles salary it’s hard to say this deal is unfair. RJ will get paid soon too so that is a mark against him.

I don’t hate it. I am worried Rudy’s next three years or so his body will start to deteriorate. So I prefer the full rebuild route but if you are trying to compete and wanting some future facing assets it works.

It doesn’t get me excited so it is likely the type of deal we do.

If it's the Knicks, I could see it being:

Don and Rudy Gay
for
Fournier, Barrett, Taj Gibson and draft picks

Taj isn't guaranteed next year so declining his option in July gets us out of the luxury. Fournier fits the Rudy window in so many ways and Barrett is some much needed youth.

Think I'd rather have Fournier than Randle in such a deal, just don't believe in Randle

The thing about Rudy tho is that his jumping is already kind of ****. The dude can't jump from a standstill, and he's still super effective. He hasn't really shown any sign of his lateral speed suffering yet. That's probably what's going to hurt him the most over the years.

Father Time is undefeated… I also worry he starts to have leg problems… he might go for a very long time… it’s just anytime you have contracts that big for that long there is risk… that risk increases as players age.

That would be the steal of the century for the Knicks. Unless you’re saying 4 firsts and 4 pick swaps……

Bro, come on.

I already said that the Knicks aren't an ideal trade partner. They lack a premier asset.

People were talking Knick trades....

Knicks are only a good partner if you want to trade and still try and compete with Rudy.

Honestly if the rumors are true that Rudy has good value I’d prefer to tear this whole ****ing thing down.

One of the worst eras from an underperforming standpoint in Jazz history.

Get max value for DM, Rudy, Bogey, JC, Mike, all of em. Get dudes with heart.

I was so jealous of that Memphis team from last years first round….

I just have no interest in doing the retool… it will fail miserably. Scorched earth.

I know you're probably right, but at the same time I'd love to watch more Rudy under another cohort of players.

I get it. Sucks we don’t get a redo of some sort here.

I’ll always be a fan even if he played for a team I hate.

He is one player that I will root for on another team. That's not common for me... well, I've never done that one time, so it would be a first for me.
