The Offseason Cha-cha-changes Thread

I love Collins. He can do a bit of everything on offense and he's a good rebounder. He needs to improve his defending, but it's not as bad as some around here want you to think.

Atlanta has a bunch of assets: Collins, Huerter, Capella, Hunter, Boban Bogdanovic, Okongwu, draft picks.

Rudy to Atlanta makes a ton of sense for them and it could for us too.

You love Collins because he is best friends with your wanna be butt buddy.
 
trading just Rudy for building around Donovan is a recipe for disaster unless there's some crazy deal available. But that's building a .500 team

Mitchell would be great if we already had Doncic or someone like Kawhi. The problem is most teams do t have that guy, and even if we did, it would make Mitchell and Clarkson redundant. I don’t see Mitchell wanting to be a role player.

Whoever gets him probably becomes a monster. Especially if they actually have a system that doesn't entirely hinge on him fixing everything for everyone else.
I really think GS would be unstoppable with Gobert. Setting off ball screens for Curry would make Curry double down on cheat mode.

The problem with trading him for win now pieces is that it dramatically constrains the return in assets because teams that are trying to win are not trying to trade their win-now players.

Those teams with draft picks on the other hand is an entirely different story. Gobert could land a raft of picks. I just see serious constraints on returns of players for the teams that are willing to go after him, especially since the Jazz get constrained again because trying to win at the same time as trading Rudy to a contender in the West is basically a non-starter.

Maybe….The teams trading for Rudy are less likely to have a lot of future assets because they’re already good. Teams trying to win now will still trade win now pieces for Rudy because Rudy is a way better win now piece.

It’s possible you can get the boatload of picks and future pick swaps…but I think those trades suck for the team moving the stat. Ainge is not going to get lucky trading Rudy as he did trading the old Celtics players.

I keep coming back to ATL as the most likely destination. They have a wide variety of assets and the Jazz could get whatever type of deal they’re looking for if ATL wants Rudy (they really should want Rudy). They’ve got all their picks, extra picks, very young players, youngish players, and vets as well.
 
Even if Mitchell suddenly was willing to play the point
I’ve seen this mentioned a couple times in this thread. Is there some quote saying he refused to play pg somewhere? 82games shows him having played pg more than sg this season (and his success rate was much higher at pg)
