Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I feel you on that. That said, you don't know the other moves your team is working on. Could resolve some of those questions.

How about you take Mitchell off our hands. Lol

No one is going to do that though. 31, Making the money he's making. No one is doing that. It maybe a want but it's an unrealistic ask.

I think we could get a pick heavy package if we wanted. Like the Hornets could send some draft capital... Our FO/Owner is desperate to not take a step back and wants to impress Donovan to keep him around. We'd likely have to take back some bad salary to get prospects and picks type package.

I think he played through some injury stuff iirc. Not sure why he'd be fried. He's younger than Rudy. He's had stamina issues before but I think you could do a lot worse than Clint at the 5 for 30 minutes a night. His contract might be slightly negative, but not by a lot.

I just don't know what the plan is at center if you move Rudy... we won't go small/5 out for 48 minutes. It also just makes the deal work a lot better. I think he could be moved later if we wanted.

I think Rudy is exceptional when it comes to his fitness and health. Capela might be better physically than he was last year, but it would be more surprising to me if he reached peak athleticism than if his body continued to break down. Maybe he gets his health back, but he definitely looked fried last year.

I also don't really care how much we win next year if we trade Rudy. My focus is on getting assets that can improve. Capela might still have some life left in him, but I think he's more likely to lose value going forward. I'd rather take a chance on a C who could improve his value even if we don't win as many games. My priority is not to get assets who make us win as much as possible, but acquire assets that can improve their value.

There's probably some teams out there that want to win and feel comfortable with Capela as their starting C. CHO, for example, is a good one. If we could turn Capela into PJ Washington, I'd take that even if it leaves us without a real plan at C.

Huerter is fine on defense. He's long... I think you are seeing a pasty redhead and making assumptions here.

Close… I see us trading Gobert for a pasty red head. Lol. I don’t think he’s a bad defender, but my god we need to get elite perimeter defenders and athletes on the perimeter if we want to be more than just an afterthought in the west.

Then I’d rather keep Gobert.

And I get that but that's not how the FO is operating. I'd trade Donovan, Rudy, Bogey, Mike, Royce and just blow **** up.

Unless they are lying I don't think they share your goal. Their goal is to keep Donovan, which involves not taking a step back...

There is a lot of teams who would be willing to do that but the Jazz know his worth

Then I’d rather keep Gobert.

I can understand that. But if it cost me grace with Mitchell, then that's a bad basketball and business decision. In a 2k sense, I can understand that.

There is a reason you haven't heard from them. The cost is too great for a center that's not on the same timeline as LaMelo. Timeline is king in this league.

We are headed there anyway.

I’d rather trade Mitchell so….
