Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Re: Grant and Wood

Turns out picks are really valuable, even the late ones.

Considering the above, the notion that we shouldn't trade Royce for a pick because he's buddies with Donovan is so asinine.

Just wanna also point out that the Jazz have traded out of SIX 1sts ('16 for Hill, '17 for Rubio, '19 and '22 for Conley, '21 to save salary and restock 2nds, ~'24 to dump Favors), used two on league-minimum centers (while having Gobert), and used one on an NBA rotation player (Grayson Allen) in the last 7 years.

It's hard to say that the Jazz could've managed these assets worse outside of hitting a homerun with Donovan )and arguably getting a couple of high-level years out of Conley, but just a couple). The fact that they've dumped all their 2nds as well really highlights how cliffed out this build is.

Many of our opinions are different than their opinions. Instead of respecting our opinions, they have to consistently attack the sender when they have run out of points to try to prove their opinions.

They look like children when they are actually grown men.

They defend Rudy like he's their dad or love interest, it's a little weird.

My theory is that they haven't gotten over the Gordon Hayward departure. Subconsciously or consciously, they are worried that Donovan Mitchell is going to do the same. They are attached to Rudy because he was here when Hayward wasn't and they have built him up as their rock and saving grace.

There was a similar element when some of us were pushing to trade Favors and people on here damn near revolted. Favors was the remaining link to Deron and the most recent "glory days." He was such a great company man who put it all out there.

Fans on here get way too attached to a concept of how we do things and the players we have that they forget basketball can be won with different players and different schemes.

The reality is that we don’t win when it matters so we need to make changes

We've always known that Lopo likes to make up wild theories and then plow ahead treating them as undeniable fact, but it's still kind of mesmerizing watching him do it in real-time.
