Rubio traded to Jazz

[Darkwing Duck]

It at least pretty much guarantees (maybe?) we retain Hayward. Now I think Hayward walks.

Why? Hayward liked Hill because he was competent (look at all the other PGs Hayward has played with). There's no indication it's the social aspect. Hill's a FA and not guaranteed to stay regardless of what Hayward does (and more importantly, vice-versa), so that left the Jazz very vulnerable to free agent timing.

It's been a long time since we've had a PG who is top-5 in the league in APG.

Ok, I've watched some Rubio highlights and I'm now in optimism mode.

Actually Love>George on this team. And an extra year on the contract.

You have my blessing DL.

This guy is only 26. This is an insane get by DL, especially for what we gave up.

It's frustrating the narrative of "Hayward walking cause we didn't pay Hill." DL made a great acquisition to better the team, all aspects considered.

I thought they did it for financial reasons?

I would say they are one in the same.

What were the packages people were throwing around on here to acquire Rubio? I'm sure they weren't just the OKC pick.

I don't know, but I've read from some Wolves fans that the Wolves have turned down huge packages for Big Dick Rick from teams like the Mavs, so we got a steal compared to that

Edit, not huge, but definitely something

The bottom line is despite his scoring weaknesses he's pretty much always a net positive and makes his teammates significantly better. To get him for a bag of chips is a great deal. If Hayward comes back and we do something at PF and move a few contracts we're gonna be awesome.
If Hayward goes, not so much.

Tony Jones thought it would take a lot more. Here is what he said in his article about a week ago regarding trading for Rubio:

Utah would likely have to give up one 2018 first-round pick, a future second-round pick and Dante Exum.

Are we talking optimism or UPTIMISM cuz I'm not sure how to feel quite yet.
