Trade deadline discussion

I will say I did not like that he insinuated that Rudy is expendable, and that we need to fix Rudy's defense. I know the quote wasn't fully in context but it sure seemed like he was saying we need to make sure Rudy can cover those perimeter guys or we might need to trade him for someone who can. If that is his position, well that's fully crap. I hope I am reading too much into that one quote.
 
What happened to Christian Wood? He is the 113th ranked player in fantasy basketball this season. I took him in the 3rd round. Oof.

I think it is that he is playing on a crappy team, but who knows.

He sucks at the 4. Only relevant as a player at the 5. Jazz fans obsession with him is overboard.

I think we have a better version of what we want from him in Gay. They aren't at all similar but Gay gives me what I'd theoretically want out of Wood. A guy that can help size up while spreading the floor still... allows you to play 5 out because they can survive as a small ball center.
 
On the Sam Vecenie podcast they threw out a Smart for Ingles and a first trade. They didn't seem to understand our pick situation but outlined why Boston could use Ingles. I can't approve any trade that has Ingles in it but it was interesting.

The other aspect to any Ingles deal where we add salary will cost mega money next year. I am not sure how committed Ryan is to spending but I would think going the other way and offloading JC for someone that has an expiring contract would be much more desirable. The mediocre deal where I suggested the three teamer with NOLA and OKC where we send out JC and get Williams/Temple would save like $50M over 2 years.

Unlike other years where I wanted us to make a big-ish move I think this year I very much prefer a smaller end of roster type move. We are in a good place if we are healthy... by all means try to fill some holes but don't go crazy... every roster has some holes.
