Ricky shoot around comments to media

Given the situation...I think "Take note" was better than "Team is everything"

That's right take note Dante Exum the starting pg. We need a pg that runs like a cheetah and has a ton of athleticism. Ricky seems to be a good guy. But watching him is boring and he can't stay with the elite pgs in the league. Ricky just move to the bench
 
This is not an uncommon occurrence in this league or any professional league. I get why Ricky would be hurt but it is part of the game. And there is no way this happens without Quinns blessing so it is more than the FO. I also imagine the FO is not going to be thin skinned about being called out. That is part of the game for them as much as it is for Ricky. Right now it is emotional. Hopefully this is one of those cases where the emotion part fades and logic and reasonableness return.
 
These are my thoughts on this:
1 Context:
*Rubio talks to his teammates and they tell him how loved he is and how much they don't want him to be traded.
*Chances are Ricky asked Quin about all this and Quin told him that he wants him to stay and it's just the FO dealing him (true or false?).
*Rubio reads his twitter account and 99% of the comments are: "Do not trade Ricky" or "We love you Ricky".
*Since he doesn't read jazzfanz he doesn't know there are plenty of people who want his *** gone, his vision on this is: "everybody loves me but my FO is getting me out of here". Hence his comments.

2 It's funny (not) how fans keep talking about players not wanting to come to Utah, and when there is one who publicly states how much he wants to be in Utah, he's told to shut up and gtfo.

3 Chemistry is a plus, absolutely. Things have gone very wrong plenty of times this season and last, but this team always fights back. So much resiliency. Chemistry has a LOT to do with that. Plenty of examples of teams that literally implode and become bottom-feeders for years and years.

4 Fans keep blaming Rubio, Favors, Crowder, and Exum, but this team will get to wherever Donovan and Rudy take them. They are the ones who have to improve to TOP 10 in the league. Donovan especially isn't close to it right now. Rudy is DPOY but you need an elite efficient scorer, and Donovan isn't there yet. As soon as he is, this team is a contender with or without Rubio, Favors, Crowder, and Exum.

That's way too much common sense for an Internet forum. Go back to real life already with that ish.

You all are taking the wrong way. He is just hurt because he loved the team. Thought he found a home. Im sure he realizes he isnt playing his best either.

Talk about what have you done for me lately attitude from the front office.

I think the team deserved a chance to get to the playoffs and see what they could do. Ricky was/is apart of that team. They earned that with how they finished the season last year. They also should have been given the benefit of the doubt considering the schedule this year.

Floating Ricky's name out there for a way overpaid slight upgrade in Conley was a bad idea. That trade shouldn't have been happening anyways.

I don't even love Rubio that much and totally agree with this comment.
100%

No one is faulting Rubio for not being Steph Curry. But he’s also not:
Chris Paul
Westbrook
Irving
Holiday
Lillard
Walker
Wall
Lowry
And a few days others...

You're right. But you've have to say aswell that in his good days he has been better that some of them ( Paul,Wes,Holiday, lowry). And maybe Donovan ( i love Donovan) is not as good as Curry, Durant,Lebron,George,Harden,Lillard, giannis, and others YET. Sometimes yes , sometimes not. And i'd say that Rudy...i can think in a couple or three or four names but i don't want to be insulted Lol. And Ingles,and Favs and Crowder and...more of the same

No thanks

I’m not advocating for it but I could see it happening. He fits in our timeline (he’s only 10 months older than Ricky), is a better perimeter shooter than Ricky (bad this year but I think he’d be more engaged on offense here and therefore shoot better like in previous seasons), can create and attack the rim (has near elite numbers here iirc) which is something we sorely need, and we’d shown interest once before 2-3 years ago iirc.
 
I may be wrong but I don't think Rubio will comeback nor will he want to. I could be wrong but it's kinda like a cheating GF but I don't know how that it is, only what I hear it to be like in songs and movies lol

I doubt Quinn does that to the FO so no on that. And Ricky like most pro athlete knows he has fans that love him and plenty that don't. He has to be clear that his lack of shooting hurts this team. He knows he has a shooting problem. For sure Rudy and Donovan need to get better for us to contend but they will never get good enough that the supporting cast doesn't need to improve. This offense is built on ball movement and stretching the floor. In this system we will never contend without a starting PG who is a good 3 pt shooter. Having a PF who can do the same is an added bonus.
 
1-8, 1-10, 3-13, 1-8, 3-11, 4-14, 3-12, 0-4, 2-6, 2-9, 0-9, 2-8, 2-5, 3-14, 0-8, 1-10, 2-10, 0-4


Ricky needs to STFU. He's making $14 million for that trash.

Are you serious?

How is a FO meant to operate?? If anything you said was to eventuate you know what you do, you trade everyone! A FO cannot be held hostage by the feelings of the players.

That take might be the dumbest thing Ive read on here.

If he's this mentally fragile where this would affect him, I hope the Jazz don't sign him.

Professional sports is the career path he chose in life. The NBA is the league he chose to be in. These are the things one has to deal with in them.

Now more than likely, at least I hope this is the case, he's upset about it for a day or two but has time to cool off and realize this is the nature of the beast.
