If not Rubio then what?

Lol this thread is so silly, once things start clicking for the team, and they will, this thread will fall into the pit of jazzfanz. Just like all those other overreacting threads at the beginning of seasons.

Do you believe that Rubio is a starter on a championship team here in Utah? Do you honestly believe that?
 
Lillard.


In reality, it’d be nice if Rubio could just prove he’s the guy.

Barring that I think it’s
Mitchell
Exum
Ingles
Maxed out FA stretch 4
Gobert

When we take the next step.
 
I had expected Rubio to continue where he left off last season but he's been underwhelming so far. It's 8 games only and he played pretty well in 4 so there's no need to be too reactionary about it yet.

Can't help but miss George Hill who was a true star for us. It was his last large contract and he took the most money so I can't blame him. And he was missing missing half of games with trivial injuries so we offered the half only. This system needs a guy like him, a bit tougher though.
 
I don't like this, but what if....

Halfway through the season, the Wizards are still a train wreck. Would you consider:

Favors, Burks, Bradley and draft picks ($30 million)
for
John Wall and Mahinmi ($35 million)

The Wiz decide to move on from Wall and the massive money he starts making in 2019. They also get to dump Mahinmi's $16 million for 2019-20. They get out of the luxury tax area. It's a roster reset and money saver for Washington without losing Oubre, Beal or Porter.

We go all in on a lineup of Wall, Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder and Gobert. Title contender?

Please go see a therapist.
 
I wouldnt trade Favors, Burks, and Bradley straight up for Wall.

I wouldnt trade Favors, Burks, and Bradley for Wall, even if they gave us a first round pick.

Wall's the complete opposite of a Snyder PG. He has no idea how to play off ball, on offense or defense. He is the reason Washington's locker-room has always been poor and underachieved every year. He's paid at an insane rate. He would make the team worse than the Jazz playing Rubio.

I agree. I don't like Wall but I just floated the idea. It's a realistic idea because Washington is a dumpster fire and Wall's contract is horrendous. If Wall was making $20, I would give it a shot. But Wall at $40+ is lunacy.

But I disagree that we would be worse with Wall than Rubio.

It's not realistic because the Jazz would never do it in a million years.

Wall is horrendous.
 
I agree we need a Dame or Kemba to win a championship.

Rubio is a better player than I but he does seem like the perfect pg to not get high usage each night shooting 3s, tires on those deep shots quick.
 
Terry Rozier will be a starter somewhere next season
