Kyrie to Utah?

[Jack Strop]

Not such restriction exists (almost positive). Rubio was acquired via trade, he wasn't a newly signed free agent.

Oh, my mistake. That's what I get for reading it from another source.
That would be pretty cold, though. Rubio was a great soldier, flying in from Spain for the Hayward pitch. Then he gets traded? I just dont see that happening. If a trade with Utah occurs, it's going to be for Love.

Ya that would be cold. I would be feel bad for the jazz doing that to him.

On the other hand rubio would probably get to go to the finals next year, play with the best player on the planet, and have a better chance at being an all star.

Still kinda messed up since after next year the cavs would probably suck but it would be a bit of a silver lining for him I guess.

I believe Rubio is in the Jazz lab being formed into young Jason Kidd with old Jason Kidd's shooting.

Honestly I just hate iso guys so much that I think I'd rather watch our team with Rubio than our team minus the assets it cost to get Kyrie.

We have a good vibe and I say we roll this crew out and see what happens.

If we got Kyrie for Favors, Rubio and Joe Johnson, I would take it.

I kinda wanna see this Rubio/Rodney Hood lineup, y'all. I want Hood to just bury other ****ing teams with threes after Rudy rolls to the rim.

I ****ing love the idea of a Rubio/Dante/Hood/Mitchell backcourt. L o v e. Will always be fun to watch.

I agree. I want to see this mix out there on a post-GH Jazz squad.

In particular, I want to see Hood step into the starting line-up as a primary scorer and see what he becomes. I think trading him immediately after GH leaves could be a serious missed opportunity.

You're crazy if u think that will get Kyrie to Utah. There's no way cle doesn't at least ask for one of Hood Gobert or Mitchell. No way!!

In a normal situation I think you are correct. In this situation I am not so sure. The way this has been managed by Kyrie and the timing of this given a number of other moves that have happened may impact what Cleveland can get. And my guess is they really want to move him so they dont have someone of his caliber hanging around unhappy. Personally I am not sure he is a good fit for the Jazz so I don't have much interest in it happening but I can see the selling price being lower than one might expect.

Exactly. Mitchell and Hood would be the centerpieces, and it would probably take additional draft picks and Favors, Ingles, or Johnson. They have no interest in Rubio.

I'm actually a big Kyrie fan but we won't be willing to part with the assets they would ask for. Zero chance Irving is coming to the Jazz.

Kyrie is a top level offensive talent without question. Kinda don't want someone that needs to be the focal point as much as he thinks he does. He did shoot the most for Cleveland after all. I personally would prefer to just roll with the team as constructed and see what they can do. Would take too much to get Kyrie as well. I think Utah would have to trade Gobert to get him because they just don't have the draft picks to include with a couple of their other almost stars to entice the Cavs. Under no circumstance would I trade Gobert or Mitchell.
