Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

It’s not hard to understand. That is the difference between us and a lot of these guys. Tons of people have literally said they will root for Rudy and hope he makes us look bad for trading him lol. Just weird ****.

Why is that weird? I hope he goes to Atlanta and shines. I wouldn’t mind having a second team to root for. I like Rudy as a basketball player and a person. He comes off as genuine to me and I think it’d be cool if he excelled and shut up talking heads like Shaq.

If I knew Donovan is likely to stay long-term I would be good with keeping him. I just don't believe that's the case. Nothing in his behavior in the last 2 years suggests he has any intention in staying past his current contract at the latest and very likely much earlier. Thus... I want to maximize our return and this is best accomplished by trading him now. I guess the fact that I don't really believe he's good enough to build around is another reason for me to want to sell high on him.

Same question I posed to LoPo - what do you think is the chance he asks out before his contract expires? What do you think is the chance he stays past his current contract?

Our most important player is offensively limited and doesn’t have the impact of other guys getting paid the same amount of money.

It is just a fact that Gobert’s impact on the game isn’t the same in the playoffs as it is in the regular season.

Yeah bigs just aren't as effective in the playoffs, I'm team Don. Just hope we move him to PG and surround him with big athletic wings that can shoot and defend.

I think that it is directly correlated to the success of the team.

I just don’t root for other players to shine or other teams. Just not how I’m wired. That’s really weird to me.

Ummmmm you are only supposed to root for laundry. No human attachment is allowed.

Definitely not Rudy's fault. Like ever

It's not his fault. It's on the roster and the coaches.
Not 1 time did Snyder run a modified zone or change the pressure off the side wing defensive strategy.
Gobert is the best big man defender in the NBA and the best in 20+ years. If the coaches can't figure out how to use them it's the coaches problem.
