Are the Jazz going to trade Rudy?

[NAOS]

The Jazz dumping four second rounders to dump three small contracts would suggest that the Jazz are:
-not signing anybody.
-not trading any of the main eight players.

It also suggests that they are tightly controlling their financial landscape. They may have a figure in the Rudy negotiations that they’re unwilling to go beyond, and that may be a sticking point.

I’m not willing to join almost everybody else in the assumption that we’re ducking the tax this year in order to spend into the tax in successive years (and thus get hit with repeater penalties). New ownership has earned none of that reputation.

We’re probably not trading Gobert because DL no longer has any assets to pair him with.

Right, but that’s for later seasons, and Gobert’s probably not gonna return much.

I don't see a trade unless Gobert demands out, historically it's not the Jazz way. Various signs do point to him walking next year though.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I’m not assuming anything about later seasons. I see a team under new ownership that’s dumping a significant number of minor assets to get under the tax. That illustrates an organization that is tightly controlling its financial landscape; it doesn’t suggest anything about a willingness to pay later.

I like rudy but he is the definition of an on court trade off

 

[Getting Traded]

You have to admit though that by signing Favors and drafting Udoka, the Jazz have positioned themselves to trade him, and if they expect him to walk, then they should do whatever they can to get some assets for him. And right now, they should be able to get some good ones that would make the team better, considering they now have two centers, one established, waiting in the wings.

My best guess.....we trade Rudy and two future second rounders for cash considerations.

If they decide to not get haywooded up the *** again and they dont get the extension then they need to trade him. Something is better than nothing.

Some teams that may be interested would be Atlanta, Chicago, maybe NJ, LAC, Toronto, and Washington.
Atlanta is stacked with rotational goodies. Bogie, Collins, Heurter, Reddish, Capella

Last I saw was TJ saying yesterday on Twitter that both sides are actively talking. We shall see what happens cause this extension is a major pinnacle point for the jazz org going forward as to what our identity will be for the next 5 years.

Jazz have to sign Rudy
That gives Jazz two legit all star players
Don't think either is MVP caliber but you need all star players to advance
Then hope you can add or have another one on the roster
