Ok, you're going to pull a Lopo instead of reading the very concise thing I typed and responding to it. IT's ok you have a very limited brain.
You ****ing clown. No player his caliber has ever gone for the type of package you are saying Gobert will no matter the situation.
Ok so you are going to continue to ignore the answer I typed becuase it doesnt fit the narrative you want to make.
I really dont care if people on this board disagree with me. It's cool. I enjoy it. But man, is it too much to ask that you dont argue in bad faith? Like just try and be slightly capable?
It doesn’t matter if teams think the Jazz want to trade Gobert. He’s the type of caliber of player that teams will be lining up to get him.
He was signed for 3 years with a player option for a 4th year. Davis showed up in year 2. Lakers had a 2-year window to put an All Star next to James, which gave the Pels added leverage.
So your official position is that leverage and positions do no exist in trade talks? It's all done in a vacuum that is free of any outside forces/influences/factors.
Is this correct?
When you’re the type of caliber of player of Gobert - leverage and positions will not affect the trade package as significantly as you’re saying. It never has and it never will. When is the last time a player like Gobert was traded for 50-75 cents on the dollar?
Chris Paul...
And leverage and positions always affect the package. You lack an incredible amount of awareness if you think otherwise.
Gobert is WAY better than Chris Paul. Younger and a better contract. Apples to oranges.
I never said they don’t affect the package I said when we are talking top-20 players it never affects it to the point of 50-75 cents on the dollar.

Why would any new potential coach want to coach Mitchell and no Gobert? Mitchell is flashy, he's also a loser. Name one player who single handedly lost 20% of the seasons games based on 4th quarters and heroball. Maybe Westbrook, and look how he's mocked. Put Mitchell in New York and he's instantly Westbrook with a supercharger.
Look at the Jazz games without Mitchell and then without Gobert. That's the real story.

That would be a dream come true for us.

I mean, they could, but big part of the reason for them to want to part ways with Ayton is not wanting to pay Ayton. Even with Rudy being a improvement over Ayton now (independent if people believe Ayton can improve and surpass Rudy or not), i don't believe they'd want Rudy's salary
Good read from Kevin O’Connor this morning:
Some brutal honesty from O’Connor on Gobert there. Not sure a lot of people here will like reading that.
Toronto has been confirmed by two guys with connections as a potential Rudy destination and O’Connor threw out Chicago as well.

Your perception of our perception of Gobert is seriously warped lmfao.
Expensive liability on offense and someone who makes as much as he does without having creation skills is limiting from a team building perspective. Gets paid like a megastar but will never have the same impact as the others who are paid like him.
Almost like I’ve been saying the same thing all along. You can clown LoPo all you want but he’s been saying the same stuff too.
