I think you’re right about Brogdon and Murray. They are certainly more desired than Conley. But my feeling is that teams are being shy to put everything on the table. It’s one of the reasons why I don’t think Gobert is getting traded. Correct or incorrect, I think teams are more comfortable going for the cheaper solution to their problems.

I love how wanting to trade Rudy automatically equates to being a hater. With that logic we have a bunch of Donovan haters on this board. 90% Donovan haters vs 10% Rudy haters.

i'll admit, i'm a bit of a dm hater. i don't think the jazz ever find success with dm as the #1 option. defense is too porous and just not efficient enough on the offensive end to make up for it.
Difference between Don haters and Rudy haters is that Don haters arent cowards and we admit our bias.
Hater is such a strong word to me. On the flip side of that how can you think we will find success with Rudy taking up 1/4 of our cap while he enters his 30’s?

You're such a Rudy hater EH. How dare you? Rudy Gobert invented defense a few weeks after Naismith wove the peach basket.
I respect you for admitting it.
It’s just sad that it has come to this picking a side and hating on the other side for a lot of Jazz fans.
I just can’t imagine hating on a dude who saved us from basketball purgatory when Hayward left and helped us rise from the ashes into the superstar he has become. He literally carried us to the second round and up 2-0 against a great defensive team on one ****ing leg. **** was so inspiring to me.
I actually think a trade gets more likely as the summer moves on. I said in another thread that for other teams trading for Gobert may be a second or third option for teams that didn’t get the other players they were targeting.

That's been my problem all along. It's been tug of war between Don and Rudy people.
Everybody should realize that we moved all our chips into the middle of the table with the stupid Conley trade. Add in that we have whiffed on MLE and picks since then too. Since we failed building around Rudy and Don, we gotta make the best business decision which is trade Rudy at his current highest value.
It's not personal. It's strictly business.
