Always liked Rubio. Hoping he stays.

I like that the Jazz have decided to focus on getting strong defenders. Will also point out that Carroll, Millsap and Jingles became better shooters under Quin Snyder's tutelage. George Hill was limited by injuries and had one of his best offensive seasons last year. Hoping Rubio actually makes a jump in that regard.
 
I'm curious to know how Rubio feels after the trade. Haven't seen any activity on his Twitter. Anyone seen anything around social media? Does he have to avoid discussing it until it goes through the league office?
 
According to reports George Hill and the Spurs have broken off talks. Who is left to pay him?
When he turned down that extension for fair money Imo I soured on him. What is his deal? He was injured half of last year, and we gave him a good offer. Now it seems like he will take less.

The Rubio move is good on paper, saves money, and adds a starting PG to the team. but, does it make us better than last year? Does it add more wins?
Those are the things I care about.
 
It's unusual when a guard shoots 90% FT but 32% from three. Perhaps he might improve his 3P shot in Utah.. look how Ingles progressed over years: 35.6 - 38.6 - 44.1

Starting line up: Rubio, Hood, Hayward, Favors, Gobert. Rubio will make our offense run. Lobs to Gobert, setting up Favors, and Hayward. Hood will have to step up and be the 2nd scoring threat with Hayward. We are losing George Hills scoring ability, for Rubio play making ability. He could make our team run even better or because of lack of shooting we struggle more that last year. It will be interesting to see what happens. He's never been a winner, but his heart and desire to win seem real.

This Paul George trade smacks of Kevin Pritchard giving Ainge the middle finger.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought after the Butler trade, but now I have no doubt that something is up. It sounds crazy, but it almost seems like Ainge Annoys these other GMs to the point they are willing to take less to send their guy anywhere but Boston. Ainge must be a really annoying guy to deal with for this to keep happening.

I don't think there's much chance of Favors starting with Gobert and Rubio. Quin doesn't even like only having only 3 shooters, so I don't think he'll roll with 2.

I love me some Favors, but he could be moved soon to bring in a stretch 4.
