Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Elizah Huge]

If Rudy is a top 15 player that guarantees you 55 wins I'd assume teams would be dying to trade for him?

I said he would make Chicago a 55-win team. They won 48 games without Lonzo and Caruso for half of the year. You think that is a unrealistic goal if they traded for Gobert?

 

[YoungJefe]

So you're telling me narratives, false or true, can play a huge role in a player's trade value?

So like, Utah making it abundantly clear they are trying to make Donovan nut at all times has maybe hurt Gobert's value?

Ben Simmons didn't even play after a horrific playoff showing and netted James Harden back.

I'm just confused as to why Chicago is hesitant to make the trade.

Or there’s that time when LoPo I think it was or UtahJazz32 showing a clip of the 7-2 longest player in the league getting beat by the 6-2 Brunson even though you see the effort but he’s just not quick enough to stay with him. But of course there’s a library of video of Mitchell getting beat on normal straight line drives where Mitchell is quick enough to stay on his man but just watches him go by putting up zero resistance. You just can’t make this **** up.

Mitchell gets beat all the time. It happens. Overall, Rudy is definitely a great defensive player and much better than Donovan Mitchell.

Donovan Mitchell is still the main reason we had any shot to win any series in the 5 years he has played on the team. Rudy has been a shadow of his regular season self come playoff time.

And that OKC didn't know that Harden hated CP and wanted Russ and the GM did everything with Harden in mind... hmmmmmm sounds like another situation... Danny likely doesn't want us to get the Russ end of a **** deal just because the league thinks he's over a barrel.

Did that happen?

Or did Philly trade Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and 2 first round picks for James Harden?


If you going to deflect from the discussion at hand, at least do it in good faith and not some BS.

I mean we’re talking about the personnel who traded Wendell Carter Jr and two 1st round picks for ****ing Nikola Vucevic. I wouldn’t say they’re the smartest group of the bunch.

You guys should be on the calls with Ainge when he's trying to sell Rudy to other teams.

They're the only team that wants a top 15 elite player in his prime?

Holy **** dude I’m done talking to you. You continually move the goalpost every single discussion after you’ve been proven wrong.

Okay buddy, Rudy's such an elite asset that teams are hesitant to trade often injured dudes that average like 10 ppg for their careers.

Maybe I'm wrong but seems like Ainge has come out on the winning end of most of his trades
