Teams have been able to just go small and limit his effectiveness on defense and he's not good enough offensively to punish them for it. For a guy that's making $170M over the next 4 seasons I just don't really see a team that he puts into title contention.
Do it. He can replace Ingles. Make them give us a couple seconds.If we did trade Mike to Memphis we could do a sign and trade for Anderson which would make @KqWIN happy. They could help us drop far enough under the tax/apron to make that viable.
But if his primary value is that he defends at a high level doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose if he can only be effective if he's surrounded by other high level defenders?I don't think teams are limiting Gobert's effectiveness so much as they're exposing the fact that Gobert is the only guy the Jazz have on the floor who can defend at a high level.
I'd rather pick up Konchar or Tillman than seconds. Konchar was the guy I said we should go get last year... I believe he was my Caruso "We Should Go Get This Guy" Award Winner. Both of those guys could be in the rotation this year depending on how the offseason goes for Memphis... so they may not go for it.Do it. He can replace Ingles. Make them give us a couple seconds.
I could see them moving off of some wings after they drafted three this year that fit a similar moldI'd rather pick up Konchar or Tillman than seconds.

We could do Mike for Green and Konchar... then you waive and stretch Green so his 7M cap hit is now 2.3M... we could use MLE on Anderson or someone else if we prefer probably easier to just work him into the deal... though I think we'd get a decent trade exception if we did it as two trades (green into the trade exception from Ingles... then Konchar for Mike) They will want to get the new guys a little run and they will also want to increase playing time for Zhaire too.I could see them moving off of some wings after they drafted three this year that fit a similar mold
Like if Rudy's main value is he brings your team elite defense but in the playoffs he needs to be surrounded by good defenders to be effective I don't see how he changes much for the Bulls or Hawks.
The Hawks and Bulls perimeter defenders aren't much better than ours which is why I'm asking.Bro.. literally think about what you just said lol.
We should offer the Kings Royce, NAW, and either Gay/Juancho for Barnes.
So that we can see how fast a team can say no to a trade?We should offer the Kings Royce, NAW, and either Gay/Juancho for Barnes.
They lack depth on the wing and Barnes is walking in free agency next summer for free.They hang up before you finish the offer.
Ummmmm Caruso, Ball, Dosunmu are all really good. Hawks are garbage.The Hawks and Bulls perimeter defenders aren't much better than ours which is why I'm asking.
This is the same team that drafted Marvin Bagley over LukaSo that we can see how fast a team can say no to a trade?
Isn't Ball's health a concern going forward and playing Caruso/Ayo/Rudy for long stretches in the playoffs limits you tremendously on offense.Ummmmm Caruso, Ball, Dosunmu are all really good. Hawks are garbage.
