Trade Rudy to Atl, Tor or Cha

The scheme around Rudy doesn’t work in the playoffs. Hasn’t every year and once they go small ball, we are done.

I would rather get assets and retool knowing that we simply can’t win continuing to think that Rudy can guard guys 20 feet apart.

Surround Rudy with a bunch of Danuel Houses and someone who can actually facilitate unlike Conley or Mitchell, and we would be stellar. The problem is the wall we build around Rudy is made of wet toilet paper. All of our "perimeter defenders" are turnstiles. Last game it was almost literally, I cannot tell you how many times we literally watched DM or Conley or Royce or Bojan TURN THEIR FEET sideways and just let their guy run right by them, EXACTLY like a turnstile, then half-heartedly "chased" them from behind. That isn't getting beat. That is directly letting your guy through with zero effort. When you turn your feet away from the offensive player and stand sideways, you are not playing defense any more. And that is exactly what those mother****ers were doing. They need to go.

Lamelo would have been the perfect pick n roll partner with Rudy because he's long and crafty with his passes. Like a more flashy version of Jingles. Pitch that to CHA and I'm sure they would be interested. Rudy can basically guarantee any team with a playoff berth with his defensive prowess

We won't get great returns for Rudy no matter what because of his salary. We'll get something good I hope, but it wont be great because whoever wants him has to accept taking on assloads of salary

Have Bridges do a sign and trade. He's gonna get paid and would've been the perfect salary matching piece.

Mitchell for Lamelo then.

I don’t want to make this a DM thread, but dude has a wingspan that should make him an elite defender yet he’s not.

You can only attribute that to effort and a focus only on trying to score.

We aren't doing DM any justice when we pair him up with a 6’0 Conley and expect him to play some lockdown defense on guys that have at least 3 or 4 inches over him. DM should be the smallest guy on the court, period.
 
Let’s please stop the Bridges trade talks. From what I hear they are very high on him. Plus, he’s a restricted FA, so he would have to agree to a sign and trade. If he’s going to another team I’m guessing he’s not picking Utah.

The sad truth is that a trade with Charlotte almost certainly means taking back Hayward’s contract. Maybe He could be routed to a third team (Indiana for Brogdon maybe?) but I think the best the Jazz could get from Charlotte is Hayward, Washington, and a pick OR one of their young guys.
 
I think GSW could be choice; they have a ton of assets (some of their younguns, re-route Wiggins for more assets).

And if we’re being petty, then it’s a nice cheap-shot to the league for being better than this team.
 
Im ready to trade rudy. If for no other reason than im really sick of defending him. Its getting tiresome and my heart isnt in it anymore. I see all the clumsiness and playoff collapses too. Trade him.
