Rubio traded to Jazz

[Spinoza]

This.

All that happened was we took a good player for almost nothing because we could.

Exactly. This is one of the best trades I've ever seen the Jazz make. Fans should be ecstatic to have a PG like Rubio on the team.

I just really want to know if this is the Millers being cheap ****s or a move the Jazz think actually improves the team.

Or if it's being done to free up cap space for another major move.

Sorry, [MENTION=253]Saint Cy of JFC[/MENTION], I'm talking about Rubio vs. Hill. I now realize you're probably talking about Rubio vs. neither Rubio nor Hill.

Yeah. I looked at Teo as only being a real possibility if we struck out on trade targets and Hill.

I guess it is more likely with Rubio to sign Teo than it is with Hill to sign Teo.

Is it being cheap or smart though to not sign a 31 year old PG to a 4 year max deal?

 

[CALJAZZFAN]

We didn't give up much for him. Could still pull off another move.

Looks like the Twolves want to pass us next year....

****ing RUBIO? So **** Exum's development AGAIN. ****!!!!

You know **** it all. I just can't right now...

I feel like Im on Clutchfans right now.

Step away from the ledge.

Wow.. is this for real? I sure don't know what to think about this trade. Btw how many years left on his contract?

Two
17/18- 14.2 million
18/19- 14.9 million

I disagree. Rubio is much lower priced and not as good as Hill.

The only edge Hill has is shooting. Rubio is 10x better passer and their defense is on par. I think with pick and roll heavy offence Rubio will shine and will make Gobert into All-Star easily. I expect big jump in Gobert's offensive numbers with Rubio running the point. Dude is flat out one of the best passers out of pick an roll in NBA.

rubio is acutally a very good player. only thing he can't do well is to shoot 3. besides that he is a really good player. hope he shoots ~35% from 3.

If Hill really did turn down that money today I'm over him.

My man crush is officially over Mr. Hill.

I like the trade. If Rubio was a better shooter he'd be a complete player - an all-star - and we wouldn't have gotten him for a 1st that isn't even a lottery pick. Now Rubio is our best defending PG in years and has more assists than any Jazz PG since D-Will.

Plus we used the expiring cap space. Now if Hill is still interested in signing the Jazz aren't so desperate for a PG which gives us bargaining leverage, especially if other teams offer him less.

For all we know, DL has a destination for Favors and/or Burks and the Jazz will be able to re-sign Hill, Hayard and perhaps Ingles and maybe a PF.

Too many people are making the assumption that a resigned Hill guarantees a Hayward return and the general fallacy of having 70% of your cap devoted to Hill, Hayward, and Gobert.
