Rubio traded to Jazz

stitches said:
One more thing to sell Hayward on after this trade - every single key piece for the Jazz is either just entering their prime or still hasn't entered their prime. Rubio's timeline is much more in line with Hayward's than Hill's was. Compare this to Boston - both their best players are probably past their prime and will be going down. IT has been meeting doctors to determine if and when he needs a surgery which is happening over a month after end of the season, hip surgeries are no joke . Horford is on the way down and already suffered a step back last year compared to previous seasons. AND they will need to lose one more piece for them to even get Hayward. and will probably lose another piece next year.

It seems pretty clear to me at this point that Hayward was well aware of this move before hand, and that DL wouldn't have done it without Gordon's approval.

Considering they had been openly communicating with him until the 30th I'd agree. Also PG going to the Thunder only decreases the value of that pick IMO. Makes getting Rubio for it even better.

What is wrong? They are not allowed to do the things I posted?

Not really.

They're in a field where they're in the top half percent, but realistically, they'll only be there for a max of 15 years. The majority of people, they don't have that window.

Furthermore, Steph Curry can go out and be very successful after basketball, but he ain't making $40/yr. So no, we don't have the same word doe they do, and they don't have the same window after either.

Can someone with a little time break down our player by player contract situation for both this year and next based on our current roster?

I'm curious where we're at as a team cap-wise now and where we'd be next year with this group. Plug in Hayward at the max for this year and next.

The guy who runs sham sports just came out with a manifesto, after being AWOL for some time. For anyone who hasn't heard of him, let's just say he used to be easily the most reliable source for info on team numbers/cap situation and such. This manifesto is kind of a pain in the *** because of the format, but for anyone who wants to know stuff about the cap situation for the team, I suggest bookmarking his page. If it's not up to date, it will be soon, where as other sources sometimes take months to update changes. Anyway, don't say I never gave you anything.

Anyway, I'm too lazy to try and figure out exact numbers right now, as there's too many unknowns and things that could change. Kind of pointless until we have a better idea of our final roster.
 
So I've seen a few people bring up John Stockton since the Rubio trade, but there is a different Jazz player I think is a better comparison. I think Ricky will be our modern version of Pistol Pete.

So... Rifle Ricky or Ricky Rifle? Maybe just Rifle Rick?

Yeah, I think I'll go with Rifle Rick. Now I just need a picture of Rifle Rick in a Jazz uni and I'll have my new sig.

I think it's already been settled: Big Dick Rick

What does Rubio's injury history look like?

- Torn acl in March 2012
- High ankle sprain in November 2014 that reportedly damaged some muscles and ligaments and kept him out of action for a three months.

Those are the only major injuries I see.
