By what/whose standards is Ricky underperforming?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.
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.

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.

You’re mostly right. It’s ****ing ridiculousI know this is ridiculous but... I think Rubio should shave his damn beard and man-bun, it might do him a world of good.
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.
Ok, I ran the numbers.Everything I see says otherwise. Can you provide a link?
If Ricky gets his panties in a Haywad …
Rudy is outperforming his contract I don't get the meh there at all (and if anything all the snubs he's getting makes his contract even more valuable since he's missing incentives), and all star caliber players on rookie deals are like the most valuable type of contracts you can get so just downplaying it as "but they're valued differently" is lazy.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.
Yea, the shot and play on words towards GH was unnecessary, and it could have been stated in a different way. Underwear in a Haybunch doesn't have the same ring to it.Curious as to why (in an otherwise plenty good opinion) we're coding a very understandable human reaction to possibly being uprooted and being told over and over again that "you're not really wanted " as a female emotion.
More generally, Ricky's certainly not the first very good pro athlete to appear somewhat unnerved by trade rumors, nor will he be the last. In the end, I think we should be more aware of the way that he's fought through obstacles to turn in very good performances (such as Saturday, in playoff situations, and many others).
It's not possible for everyone to turn into the ideal player, but I have zero reason to doubt Ricky's commitment, ability to contribute to winning basketball, and tendency to show up well when the lights are brightest.
Also, one could look at the positive affect that Rubio has had on probably EVERY guard he’s ever played with.Ok, I ran the numbers.

JFC ain’t care, doe. Has the site ever been this flagrantly wrong about a player? Srs
That's simply not true though lol. Mitchell made the offense look good for the most part because he went absolutely nuclear shooting wise during that stretch, he did a pretty poor job of running the offense for the most part but made the Jazz' offense go because he was making a ton of shots.The stats show that we play better with Rubio.
However, it's pretty crazy that we can even ask the question of who runs the offense better. Think about it, you have a 14 year professional PG vs a 2nd year pro who has never played PG. And we are even having to ask the question of who runs the offense better. I think it shows that there is so much potential for Donovan that he runs the offense so closely to the same effectiveness as Rubio.
His stats were much better when Rubio was out. I think he showed he can handle PG. He was definitely better without Rubio though. Much better.Lmao. You know the stats say the opposite?
OK, so how were Mitchell's numbers with the rest of the starters but no Rubio? Most of those numbers are from playing with the second unit as the PG. Mitchell was definitely much better as the PG when Rubio was injured. His efficiency plummeted once Rubio returnedOk, I ran the numbers.

Chemistry means nothing when your play sucks *** Ricky. You're now the 6th seed in the conference with the Spurs recent losing, when you should be fighting the Nuggets for the 2nd seed, and it's mostly because you have been below average all year. Man the F up.
