Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

I'm just glad that there is a Mike Conley trade chatter out there like other teams really want him. Cleveland and Washington already rumored. This article came out yesterday:

Conley had a terrible playoffs we all know that but let’s not pretend like the dude is a scrub. He has plenty of value to the right team. Also, we had to re-sign him or else we wouldn’t have gotten anything back for him. We didn’t have cap space.

I don't get the Cleveland thing... AT ALL. They have one of the best young PGs in the league. Why would they spend valuable assets on a player who will take the ball out of his hands and doesn't give them much defensively?

Valuable assets is not something they will be giving back. Most likely someone like LaVert.

Conley would be the best backup PG in the league which many of us have said before. He also is a consummate professional which can help all the young players there.

Yep. Rubio was really big for that team until he went down injured. I think they are looking for that type veteran presence off the bench.

They should just bring back Ricky or get a guy like Delon that can play along Garland. They need some on ball creation. I kind of hated the Caris trade for them… just don’t think he’s that good.
 
TJ and Chris K (athletic Atlanta writer) had a back and forth about Rudy trade. Seemed like TJ wants a bit too much back… finding a middle ground is possible there but I think Atlanta has pretty good flexibility to do deals so not sure they would respond well if we draw a hard line in negotiations.

TJ seems to think we wouldn’t take Capela back but I’m pretty sure we would.

What was TJ wanting that Chris didn't want to give?

Correct. If we don’t who we playing at Center. You can patch maybe 20 minutes a night with minimums or small ball… finding 48 minutes at center is ambitious. (Udoka may give you 15 minutes here and there but between conditioning injuries and general rawness we shouldn’t bank on anything there.)

TJ wants like Hunter, Collins, picks… it’s ambitious but if you think Clint’s 3/60M deal is tough how you gonna get them excited about Rudy’s deal?

If he came with Collins and Hunter, I think we would take him.

That’s the problem I think it’s one of those or the other unless we send Bogey with Rudy and get Capela. I think it’s one of these:

Hunter/Capela/16

Collins/Capela/16

Hunter/Collins/Capela (we include Bogey)

Even LaVert fits much better than Conley next to Garland... especially if they want to empower Garland. I really don't get it.
 
If the Jazz aren’t willing to do Capela/JC/Atlanta pick this year then they won’t be trading Rudy… Capela/Hunter/ Pick is another doable construction.

Hunter/JC/16+ And making Atlanta figure out Capela is not happening. Deals have to work for both sides.
