Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I'm old enough to remember the "Core 4" days. There is a chance we remember the last two years with wistfulness over the next 10. It might be longer than that before we get another player of Rudy's caliber.
Nah we just need to trade him for a wing and we alright because Donovan gonna score all teh points.
 
I'm not sure what people are expecting. The only draft pick trade value we have is Don and Rudy and they would've been gone by now.

I think Portland may have just drafted Sharpe for someone else. Might not be us though.

Locke seemed to hint that Bogdanovic to Portland might be on the table. I'd believe that if the Jazz were also sending a mid-1st to Portland from Atlanta or
Chicago.
 
Jazz will never beat a pesky Wolves team with Rudy on it. Bet all of the money on that.

Well, they like defensive length and athleticism. They reportedly had interest in Capela and Rudy, but it looks like Capela will likely stay in Atlanta. So who knows...
 
If we make no Rudy move, you have no idea how spared we will be. We would trade him and possibly be in the play-in. Not possibly fall to the play-in, but possibly be in the play-in to escape the lottery. Don would the ask out and we’d get much less return on him, while having the rest of the roster be “Don’s win-now guys.” At least if we keep everything together, we can still make the playoffs and roll the dice on a new coach and fringe moves, followed up by a better return on Donovan when he asks out because it won’t be patently obvious that we have no leverage when we’re a lottery team.

We need to trade the other guys other than Don and Rudy and surround them with bigger wing players that can play D and another player that can create their own offense.

They wouldn’t. We’d be stuck with the Gobert move being our big off-season move.
