Rubio not staying?

[Deckard]

Livingston is about to retire most likely. They'd need a backup PG. And before you say that Rubio doesn't shoot 3s remember that Livingston has no shooting range to speak of and he spent like 5 years with them. Rubio would be a big improvement there. They don't have money to bring quality players and will take anyone good willing to play for cheap.

I was thinking just the same since i read the article that Livingston probably will retire. I don´t know if this will happen at all, but there are pleople in Jazzfan that if you say that Rubio will sign with a D-League team they will say that he doesn´t deserve it. Neither team will offer Rubio more than 9 per season and of course never will play as a starter or for a playoff team. Of course with all his lacks but probably the most regular , the biggest heart and maybe only maybe the best player in this playoffs. But he has to accept a secondary role in Utah because Jazzfan tell you that...

I can totally see Rubio pulling a jerebko and signing with Golden State on the cheap. Feck, if Durant leaves, Rubio can even start there, it's not like Warriors have cap to sign replacements there.

Uh. You know GS already have a starting PG yeah ???

Do you know that it's not the same to be the 2 PG of GSW than the 2 of Utah? With the first you can win a ring with at least 3 all stars , with Utah who knows...

Think he’s talking about the one year deal he got in sactown

He signed a three year deal that guaranteed him $40 million. The first 2 years were fully guaranteed at $20 and $19 million according to BBallRef. Next year he is only guaranteed $1 million and will surely we waived.

Rubio will sign with a team that likes frozen rope 3pt shots, and that is not the Warriors.
Phoenix? Some team that needs to look like they are trying to win, but really aren't.

Not sure what you exactly meant by your post. Feel free to come back with a better phrased sentence.

He said everything he had to.

He said everything he had to.

Are you his mom or his lawyer ?

He’s someone with a brain.

Trading or letting Rubio go would be a BIG mistake for the Jazz! Despite some of his minor deficiencies, he's a Jazz guard from the getgo with a solid understanding of what works for the Jazz offense, and has more solid games than bad ones! He's very coachable and has improved his game with the Jazz every year!

Understanding of what works and doing what works are 2 different things. He has not improved his game with the Jazz every year and even if he had (which he has not) it would be irrelevant without playoff win progress. Year 1 he averaged 13.1 PPG, 1.6 SPG, 4.6 RPG, with a 42% FG%
Year 2 he averaged 12.7 PPG, 1.3 SPG, 3.6 RPG, and shot 40%
What works is being able to hit open 3's in the course of a game. What works, is a player that can stop the defense. Nothing about him works. It might work in China, but not in the NBA. I thought it was pretty clear throughout the year. Perhaps you didn't watch the Jazz play?
