I just don't see a place for Motum or Cooley. We have enough bigs already. It's sad, though, they both deserve to be on a NBA team.

If it's one or the other I'd rather have Cooley just for his rebounding. I agree they're both NBA players though. Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter, Exum, Hood, Gobert, Evans, Novak, Booker, Felix, Murry, Cooley.... with Quin at the helm - SIGN ME THE **** UP!!!!

Not if they are planning a possible Kanter trade.

Who or what could we trade Kanter for that would improve the team? Draft picks? We have a lot of them already. With the emergence of Gobert, we just need Kanter to be a very good bench big, which is completely doable.

Gobert has been arguably the greatest surprise so far (dating back to FIBAs) but we should temper our expectations a touch with him. I still think he's best off the bench while he continues to polish and learn the game. He is VASTLY improved from last year, but still nowhere near what he can be. Perhaps in a couple years if Kanter hasn't improved then they'll switch roles, but Gobert would be plagued by foul trouble if he started this season I bet. However, if he's doing his typical Rudy things we've seen this preseason I'm sure Quin will keep him in during money time so whether he starts or not would be effectively meaningless. I hope we keep both he and Kanter, and they both continue to make strides forward in terms of consistency and feel for their positions.

Trade Kanter for anything if we don't plan on re-signing him.

If they aren't planning on matching anything over, say 8 mill a year, it makes sense to trade him. Some team needing a big will take a gamble for that.
I think the Jazz would look for a vet on a good 3 year contract to help soften the pain of the upcoming new TV deal.
 
Fun stat. Rudy Gobert assists this game = 2, Rudy Gobert assists in preseason = 4, Rudy Gobert assists all last year = 7.
