Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[YoungJefe]

We are not going to come out a better team when we are the ones trading the best player in the trade. Facts. This trade still gives us a dynamic young big in John Collins and a good young player in Heurter who I think would be awesome . Capela is meh but he can fill a gap we will have. It’s a good trade.

Until we miss the playoffs next year, Don requests out and we're in no mans land.

The 4 teams in the conference finals this year started Robert Williams, Kevon Looney, Maxi Kleber, and Bam Adebayo at the 5. Those guys are all smaller centers that can protect the rim but are mobile enough to defend in space. Capela isn't even very good protecting the rim and gets fried in space.

If you want a player like that to replace Rudy you can sign Mitchell Robinson in free agency for a fraction of the price.

And Maxi is a stretch guy... they also play Powell there too. They are all different but they aren't KAT or AD.... Clint is fine as a rim protector and is a great rebounder. If we don't have Clint we will need a traditional center.

Its easy to say go get Robinson... but we have only the taxpayer MLE and he like gets over the MLE and he's restricted I believe. Plus he's a cat chasing a laser pointer.

I don't need Clint in the deal but he's useful... and the replacement we get is likely to be someone in the Richaun Holmes, Hartenstein, Plumlee group of players. His contract is of a size that you can bench him for other options... because you will still have room to acquire other options. Its a little rich but its not a noose and can be used later when we inevitably do the full rebuild.

Do you think we would be better off knowing that and also that Don is not long term to go with a Raptors package of OG and Trent Jr., a Bulls package of Vuc P-Will and 18, or a version of the Hawks trade?

I don't know... I think I like OG the best of any of the players we'd get. I don't think the Chicago thing is real.

He's going to ask out... this trade really doesn't change that. When he asks out we aren't in no man's land. We enter no man's land once we trade Rudy. We will finally just do a full rebuild when Donovan asks out.

We don't need a traditional center, if the Hawks are adamant on not including Hunter I'd need Okongwu

If we're going to trade Rudy and miss the playoffs we might as well trade both and just get a jump start on the rebuild now. Screw the All-Star game.

Personally, I enjoy relationships when my partner is no longer interested in me

Are they though? You kind of need at least one... specially to manage the regular season. He isn't ideal but he's not trash.

We won't get better by trading Rudy... unless the pick hits or one of the guys has a huge development step.

dude the way he's going he'll be trash for what salary he gets

In order for Donovan to be the social figure and activist he may aspire to be, he may simply need to move to a bigger market, regardless of whether his team is winning a lot of games. I think there's more going on here than basketball. He's trying to be a brand.

You mean him taking BP with the Mets wasn't just help his conditioning for next basketball season?

The way that you "build a brand" in the NBA is by winning championships and making deep runs in the playoffs.

Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Giannis all became global icons playing in small markets. The internet changed everything.

Look at the publicity Carmelo got in New York, even though he won more games with the Nuggets. That may be the path Donovan wants.
