Feeling Better About This Team

[fishonjazz]

I'm not going gloom-and-doom after dropping a close game when we took the previous 6.

That is why you dont belong in the jazz section of this website.

I think the rest of this season is mostly about letting Quin and the current roster fail so that Smith, Wade, and Ainge can justify recreating this team around Donovan in their own image.

Really think Quin and Rudy could both be gone in the offseason if we flame out in the first round. I think Conley and Bojan are certainly both gone if that happens. Smith is not paying repeater tax for this roster.

I still don't think trading Rudy is the answer, and I honestly don't think there would be much interest from other teams...he's going to be making $44 million at age 32 and close to $47 million when he's 33. I just don't think we would get anywhere close to equal value back if we traded him.

or just hold a season then go for CP3 in 2020. Like the Suns literally traded Bricky Ricky for him. Had we kept Ricky for ourselves it'd be us getting CP3. And in that same window Bucks got Jrue as well. Both would've been way better options than Conley.

Rudy and DM were only 27 and 23 in 2019 respectively. Literally no reason to go all in during 2019 offseason.

We had other options for sure.

The biggest mistake was not trading for Jerami Grant instead. He was traded for a 1st on July 8th. We did the Conley trade a month earlier on June 19.

Looking back, we could have...
- traded Favors to New Orleans for a 2nd to clear cap space like we did
- signed Bojan like we did
- re-signed Rubio
- and traded for Grant.

And our team would have been cheaper than the team we ended up with.

Oh I think we’d do well. One of the biggest suitors would have been Sacramento imo so they’d be out now. We wouldn’t get equal current value though.

I think the most likely suitor for Rudy would be Atlanta. Been saying that for a while now. Rudy fits what they want to do so much better than Capella. Collins won't replace Rudy by any means, but he's a valuable piece. If we could get Huerter too, that's a proper rebuild.

I joined a conversation already ongoing.

And it's not bitching to point out the obvious.
