Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

The last little bit is where my heads at. If we keep Don he needs to be surrounded by guys that can make up for his defensive deficiencies. We need a guy who can take on the other team's best perimeter player or help when Don gets that guy. I don't think Trent could do that.

Either way... to be good we need Donovan to play good defense... full stop.

To put together a Boston level defense you need like 3-4 good perimeter guys and some rim protection... we won't have enough good perimeter guys even with OG/Trent to make up for Donovan's defense if all we get is the effort displayed last year. The Toronto deal does not make us better... we may be worse... but we will be younger and different. The hope is to build from there I guess.

That's him on offense currently, he actually has better foot work than our over priced one dimensional player that doesn't take criticism well that rather work out in the weight room and box but not work on a weakness in his game. Do the Jazz pay him to improve his offensive capabilities or will the fanbase always make excuses for his inability to score?

I don’t trust this account but it makes a lot of sense. We literally need wings and Toronto can offer us those in a deal for Gobert.

We also have two TPE’s we can absorb Poeltl into from San Antonio.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a 3-team trade with Gobert to Toronto, OG/Trent Jr/Poeltl to us and draft compensation to San Antonio from Toronto.

We’d only add 6M in salary total and would be at 12 players and still under the luxury tax by 5.2M.

Trading Rudy, but not blowing it up and trying to stay weakly competitive with a fringe playoff roster, is like the dumbest/lamest thing we could do. I’d be so pissed.

The fact that we traded Royce and didn't re-sign House, and seemingly have no way to replace them in free agency does make me think a Gobert trade is coming that will add a couple of wings to the roster.

I’d rather get Precious from Toronto at $2M then Poeltl
