You don’t think Draymond and Bam are rim protectors? They guard on the perimeter too but they definitely are rim protectors.

Draymond definitely doesn't start on the first option. His off-ball value is immense and that roughly translates to rim protection and he has a whopping 100 more possessions than Gobert in 7 years.

GSW are happy that Draymond doesn't have to stop every leak because that's how he can affect the whole floor.

30 a game against Dallas… and their other 5 isn’t a stretch guy. There are really two stretch 5s left… Grant kinda plays some stretch 5 but is more of a 4… so your premise that rim protecting bigs that don’t stretch the floor aren’t playing a major factor is not correct. None of these teams are playing 5 out all night when healthy. It’s a 20/25 minute a night strategy if you have the right guy… there aren’t many Maxi Kleber types out there.
 
It's fair to say that there are rumors both Atlanta and Charlotte have interest in Rudy. Hopefully, neither team pulls off a heist for Deandre Ayton and that keeps Gobert's market warm.

I haven't seen anything meaningful involving Portland, San Antonio or Washington. There was some report that San Antonio has interest in Ayton, and they're a team that has the ability to clear enough cap space to sign a big FA. Will be interesting to see what happens if San Antonio can't attract Ayton, or if they can get a commitment from Lavine.
 
I think most of the trades people have discussed here are way too far discounted. I mean, just look at the last few times an all star was traded who had 1 o 2 years left on their contracts. 3 years just doesn't happen.

Eg. in recent memory consider the Paul George and Anthony Davis trades. Perennial All Stars for a team starting over.

Paul George ---- Shai Gilg, Gallinari, 3 unprotected 1sts, 1 protected 1st, and 2 1st round pick swaps.

Anthony Davis ---- Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, 3 1st round picks, a future 1st round pick swap, and cash

I know, I know. Donovan isn't Paul George or Anthony Davis. Gobert is the best remaining dinosaur of a past era. But neither are an aging, overweight, underperforming James Harden or disgruntled, mentally challenged Simmons. Hoping for a starter or 2 + 1 first round pick from the Kings from a meh draft is poor by anyone's standards.

I agree. Rudy is no slouch. Trading him for a mid pick and some expiring ******** just doesn’t fly. I think we can honestly get a decent return on Rudy, Don, Clarkson, and Bogie.

Two mid 1sts in a draft strong in that area plus another young prospect and a likely-undervalued Hayward is pretty good. The packages aren't going to get better with time.

The contract is part of the issue at his age. Also the fit is an issue... AD even though he is a big would fit any roster. PG literally could start for any team in any lineup. He's like the perfect 2nd star for literally any superstar.

So we won't get the return or anything close to it. Sadly I think you need to look more at the return Orlando got for Vuc. One good lotto pick, one future pick, and Carter Jr. plus salary fodder. Rudy >>>>> Vuc but his contract is much smaller and they actually did find a pretty desperate team.

If you got PJ, Hayward, 13 and 15 it'd be a great deal. I'm not sure they will push that far in. If it was Hayward, 13 and 15, plus McDaniels and maybe a second I'd call that fine. If you subbed in Rozier for Hayward I'd also feel we got a fair deal. Not in love with the idea of Hayward back but I think you could re-route if the PR hit seemed too much or if he seemed to have a bad attitude about the idea.
 
I think the Jazz are basically running it back with a minor tweak or two. The fawning pieces on Gobert, Conley, Clarkson, Mitchell and Bogey on the team's website are my evidence. So you trade Royce and Gay? Waive Juancho and some other minimum wager? Maybe they buy a draft pick.
