Official Rudy Gobert Trade Ideas Thread

It’s too bad this Clips series didn’t happen 3 years from now.... when Dok would be ready to step in with his skill set and swing the series.

Lol

Everyone hated him on here but were too stupid to see he was a gem

I actually remember a recent game this season when favors was killing it and quin kept Rudy on the bench way longer than normal and let favors close the game out. Rudy was the biggest cheerleader from the bench.

And if Rudy did in fact pout? Deal with it. Coaches sometimes might have to make hard decisions to win games that might piss their players off.

Hell quin should have probably brought Conley off the bench too for that matter.

Quin did what he did cause it's what he always does. He didn't avoid making adjustments cause he was worried Rudy wild pout. He avoided making adjustments because not making adjustments is what he does. It's kind of his thing.

These talking heads are morons.

I'm not exonerating Rudy from his trash performance at all, but benching him in a series where our defensive rating was 142 without him on the court obviously wasn't the answer.

 

[fishonjazz]

Durant, Kobe, Wade, etc.

Ya. I mean volume scorers are pretty much the highest commodities and best assets you can have. Everybody wants volume scorers. For good reason. Being good at putting the ball in the basket is a good thing not a detriment.

Which is why I could see some teams clamoring for Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson is only making around 11/12 million per year and is on that cheap deal for 3 more years.
Seems like he could fetch something good in a trade.

Like I said someone would have to do the math but when we were up 75-50 I think we could have literally given up a layup every single possession and still have won.

Let's do some lazy math.

The game was very slow-paced, only 88 possessions each. So let's say the Clippers had 42 or so remaining possessions at the time we went up 75-50.

If we change nothing on offense, and decide to play them straight up on defense and concede the layup if they happen to get past their man, and they succeed at that at a ridiculously high rate (say, 80% of the time), that's 67 points given up.

We gave up 81 points in the 2nd half.

Wow.

Best players on teams that won a championship in the last two decades:

LeBron, Durant, Curry, Kawhi, Kobe, Wade.

We have a player in the conversation with those guys and shocker it’s not Rudy Gobert lmao.

Last team who won a championship with a Center like Rudy was the 2011 Mavs and Tyson Chandler was making 12.6M a year. So that’s a problem.

Chandler was the 4th or 5th most important player on that team behind Dirk, Kidd, Terry and Marion.

Exactly. You think they win with him making more than Dirk and taking up 1/3 of the salary cap?

Wow.

Such a strategy would accelerate the possession rate considerably. Throw in a few FTs and we're still giving up 80 in the half.

Why is this true? Instead of a drive and kick to the wide open 3 point shooter, it's a drive and layup attempt.
