Rubio traded to Jazz

[JimLes]

I'm fine with insurance policy but Rubio isn't an insurance, he's a replacement. Patrick Beverly is insurance. Teodosic is insurance. Rubio is replacement.

And a damn good one.

Is Hill a better individual player than Rubio? I'd say so, but I would also be confident in saying that Rubio makes Hayward, Gobert, Hood, Favors, everyone a better player than Hill could.

That's great if I were one of the ones bitching about the Jazz sitting on their hands -- here I'm arguing that our best course is sitting on our hands. Hard to discuss when you're conflating different arguments. I'm fine with insurance policy but Rubio isn't an insurance, he's a replacement. Patrick Beverly is insurance. Teodosic is insurance. Rubio is replacement.

I hope that this is just an opening move. I am tired of hand sittin and cakk bakkin. **** that noise

I'd rather have Rubio and Ingles than just Hill. It's much easier to match on Ingles without paying $20,000,000+ to Hill. And I'm going to assume Hayward realizes that.

I like the deal. I'd expect we still wind up moving somebody else to clear some salary and possible glut at the guard positions (Rubio/Hood/Burks/Mitchell/Exum/Neto all currently under contract).

Real possibility. Also a real possibility it could be a relatively prime 1st round pick in the 18-22 range.

Where you would pray to pick someone as good as Ricky Rubio, and likely fail.

I'm not the biggest fan of DL but this is a no brainer. The OKC pick was worthless and worst case scenario, Rubio starts and makes Gobert look great. Best case, he comes off the bench.

No brainer move.

Who wouldn't want to play with this guy?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZgU0cT_TfI

Because despite being in the 92nd percentile of open 3pt shots he is one of the worst shooters in the NBA.

Man, if the Jazz lose Hayward I hate having Rubio. Who on this team is going to ****ing score? The prospect of the Jazz scoring without Hayward is just mind boggling. Maybe it all works out even if they lose Hayward, but I'm not optimistic. Feels like Al Jefferson all over again.

The Jazz aren't building a team around Rubio. If nothing else, we can flip him later and probably get better value than we gave up.
