Then I would say don't play him at all - Rush is just using this season to get back into playing shape. He has no interest in really competing. He's been dogging it on defense all year. And Saturday night against Minnesota he just gave up on a loose ball. These things fly under the radar because hardly anyone is watching the games and The Jazz aren't playing for anything; but it's clear he's either not healthy or doesn't care - either way he shouldn't be playing
That would mean his cash cow career is over. I don't buy any of your assumptions.
