Bagley could and that's about it.

A lot can surpass him, season is young, let's see how Doncic looks in May/June when GMs have to make decisions.
I was rather thinking about the potential of the bigs. As a big if you dominate 2 facets of the game you're nearly always outperforming a max salary. If you're awesome in 3 or 4 ways that's so hard to measure, the terror you inflict when you're 7 foot tall, stifle opponents at the rim, are capable with the back to the basket, hit outside jump shots and even make plays off the dribble. It's so huge(and rare). That's why I thought more alongside some big making a huge jump.
Finding a player comp for Doncic is really hard, but how about 6'8 James Harden is his upside. There're not many players like Harden who think one step ahead when it comes to generating shots, not only dimes. I think Doncic will be capable of that.
 
Would anyone here trade Gobert and something else for the #1 pick and a bad contract so we could get Doncic?

Idk. We already know we can build a championship caliber defense around Gobert. If Mitchell turns out to be a guy we can build an offense around--and he really might be--then I would stand pat with Rudy.

Who knows though? Doncic could turn out to be the real deal.

The thing with Rudy is you don't trade someone with such high value for Doncic unless you're going to tear the whole thing down, if it's only Rudy to be traded, Rudy's more valuable for a contending/pretending team.
If you trade Rudy it's gonna be really hard to add more rotation players since the Jazz still have to take back matching salary. Teams could be interested in Joe Johnson or Joe Ingles on top, but how you gonna find 30-35 million dollars to get rid of without bringing a 3rd team into the equation. The Cavs winning #1 overall with the Nets pick are as good as it getts when it comes to a #1 getting traded before the draft.
 
I think it's a lot easier to get something that resembles Gobert (i.e., Adams) than it is Doncic or what we think he could be.

I'm not saying we should do it or that teams would even consider it, but it was something I thought about.

Best case scenario is we get Doncic/Porter/Bagley without giving up Rudy or Mitchell. The league's worst offense could make it happen.

No, literally only Bagley can pass him.
 
I'm kind of bummed DX went over to the darkside and joined ESPN INsider. It means I have to rely on you folks and NBADarft.net for hope. That is kind of scary.
