We don't lose playoff series because of Donovan's performances on either side of the court.

We do. We lose because he's a selfish diva who has fostered an environment where the only thing that matters is Don's stats and Don's feelings.
 
Lol Boston wouldn’t trade us Brown for Rudy to begin with so that’s a moot point.

Secondly, Rudy’s value to the team vs his trade value is way more valuable to us against Mitchell.

On your 1st point: ouch. Might be true.

On your 2nd point: probably true. It kinda feels like Gobert's value right now is higher than I ever remember since people are seeing what the Jazz are without him. Still, feels correct.

Im not so sure you are right. I think Boston would be very interested.
 
I'd love to see Gobert on the Hawks. I think McMillan would value Gobert highly. Trae Young/Gobert would be the most elite 2 man combo in the NBA. I'd gladly put my Jazz fandom on pause to root for the Hawks if Gobert is there.

Gobert’s value isn’t the same as Mitchell’s we can agree to that the type of package we’d get for Mitchell would be easier to put a contender around Gobert vs around Mitchell with the package we get for Gobert.

Let’s say we did trade Gobert for Brown which is about best case scenario in a Rudy deal.

Conley/Mitchell/Brown is solid but we’d still be very bad defensively. We’d need to move Bogey for a defender. It’s hard to tell how good that team is but it definitely makes the playoffs.

Can Jaylen Brown be an entire defense by himself and set screens that spring the whole offense?

The Jazz don't need to fall to the 9th seed, they just need to be in the 7th, which they are as close to as they are seeds above them. If they have a completely insolvent defense, I'm not sure how Jaylen Brown makes up for that such that they make it out of the play-in (what would be the point there anyway?).

If you trade Rudy, you are basically trading everyone. Meaning everyone except for maybe Donovan is on the table. Then we wouldn't have to ask Jaylen to be an entire defense by himself because we will be getting more defensive pieces back. If we get perimeter defenders and wing defenders like Smart, Richardson, Grant or Roco to reinforce Jaylen, we will become a much better team defensively than this current "funneling everything to Rudy" ********
 
That Sacramento deal for Gobert is ****ing awful. Two really meh players and ONE FRP?!?

We could do MUCH better than that for Rudy, and if we couldn’t, yeah, definitely trade Mitchell.

I’d love to hear what you think we could get. His contract and age will become a problem.
