Ricky shoot around comments to media

Well stuck to the FO from his PoV. Ricky has been a pro since age what 14? He is too experienced to feel emotional for that kind of sh**. I bet some stuff went down behind the scenes and the FO sent their PR there to ask the Spurs Q.

Everything I see says otherwise. Can you provide a link?

I'll have to update the stuff, but I did all the research on NBAwowy.com in the midst of his hot streak with Rubio out and posted about it.

All last year he was better with Rubio on the floor and it was the same this year as well. Maybe that's changed in the last 10 games, but I don't think so. Will update when by a computer.
 
So Rubio called out the FO saying "upstairs don't understand team chemistry"
Someone should tell him everyone in the NBA is tradable, especially those who underperform.

By what/whose standards is Ricky underperforming?

Some of you are so incredibly butthurt that Rubio didn’t instantly transform the day he arrived in Utah; and you’ve consistently looked the other way when it comes to acknowledging all the ways he has improved.

****ing morons.

And certainly guys on good deals do get traded. And guys on horrible deals like love and wall are hard to trade.
But I think as the contact gets better the more untouchable the player becomes.

Im thinking if you made a list of the 20 absolute best contracts in the league that those dudes would be extremely unlikely to be traded.

If you made a list of the 20 worst contracts in the league those dudes would probably be hard to trade but could happen. I could see a guy like love getting traded for example but have a really hard time seeing a guy like Donovan Mitchell getting traded.

This all stems from someone saying R

Lol at your comment about no one on the jazz outperforming their contracts.
Royce, DM, and Rudy are all outperforming their contracts without a doubt by miles.
Crowder, and Joe are outperforming their contracts by a little bit.

As for your first sentence I totally agree. But outperforming your contract also makes your current team want to keep you more. Do you disagree with that or do you think teams try hard to unload their positive assets?

I will wait for your list of players on good contracts who just got traded at the deadline btw.

Rudy (meh), Royce sure but DM is on a rookie deal which is valued differently.

No I agree with that, FOs dont part with positive assets unless upgrading or moving off a negative asset. Bottom line, signing Ricky to a "team friendly" deal ($2-3M below market) won't make him untradable.

So how much do U want to pay to resign Rubio from the bench next season?

The jazz don't need to pay him to resign. They can just not re-sign him. If they re-sign him to be a bench player, $10MM sounds about right.

Yep. Offer him $10, $9, $9 (3rd year team option). Tell him he will likely be off the bench.
