Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

LoPo said:
Rudy might get in the Hall of Fame. And Rudy might get his number retired. But one thing is for certain - Rudy Gobert never once carried us to a playoff series win. Not once. People can love on him all they want, but it's just a fact.

I'm pretty sure that's why Ainge cashed in on trading Rudy now.

What are you talking about? We won 3 playoff series with Rudy as the anchor. Without Rudy we would have not even made the playoffs to begin with. I knew you were irrational in your hatred of Rudy, but now you are starting to sound like the trolls.

How sad it is that all people are doing is shouting out Gobert and expressing that they're gonna miss him, and clowns like Lopo and UtahJazz32 are getting all triggered by even that.

I didn't get triggered at all. I was joining a conversation.

I appreciate Rudy. I've said it before that I wish we could have been a title contender around him and Don. Unfortunately, the Conley trade and the moves following were so gosh dang awful that it completely tanked our chances of building around the two of them.

This has been my entire narrative the whole time. Rudy is a regular season top 15-20 player. Definitely. I'm not disparaging him in that regard.

I think some guys are going to far with the Rudy bashing right now. He was and is a good player.

I've always had an issue with Rudy in the playoffs. He's not a top 15-20 player in the playoffs. It's a sad fact but it's still a fact.

We get it, you hate Rudy to the point you will post stupid things to prove it. Wow, Luka talked trash to Rudy. Amazing. How many people can guard Luka, and why would a center guard Luka other than on switches?
If the Joker was saying that to Rudy, now that would be something with some heat.

Save it for the games and boo him to your hearts content.

A whopping three to choose from. And I guess you’re just going by the guys who get the buckets. But overall impact you can still make the case. He was the best player in that Clippers series. Mitchell was a beast vs OKC, but Gobert embarrassed Westbrook and George at the rim all series. He was really good against Memphis too. It’s a group effort. Mitchell doesn’t lead us to whatever small victories we’ve had without Gobert.

They hate us because we go against the grain not like his cult

People just want to express what they appreciate about the guy and how they're going to miss him.

You and the other clowns don't need to spam your same garbage argument everytime Rudy gets mentioned (and many times even when he doesn't get mentioned), least of all on this particular day. Give it a rest.

This is a bit over the top too. There are many ways to carry a team, and generally playoff wins are team wins. Did DM carry the Jazz to a win? I'm pretty sure that even though he played his guts out we still lose without the rest of the team, Rudy included. In the playoffs when teams break out their real schemes, then they devote most of their game plan to limit Rudy's impact... that should tell people how much "respect" they have for him. When they game plan to take him out of the series and force the rest of the team to beat them... doesn't that mean he is carrying the focus of the other team and now it's up to his teammates to help out and the coaches to counter?

I won't take anything away from DM, because he's on another level in the playoffs, but to discount the other teammates like DM is the only one doing anything out there, and to pin a donkey tail on Gobert for being the heart of the other teams scheme is disingenuous.

Let's all take a breath, and be happy or sad Rudy is gone and move on with our lives. The fact that we can talk basketball instead of Trump or some other stupid world event is a good thing. Let's not make basketball as divisive as everything else.
