Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Keeping both is a recipe for failure.

I disagree, the reason we've flamed out in the playoffs is because we're small 1-4 with zero defensive versatility.

Moving Don to the 1 would be where I'd start.

Trade Conley to Washington for KCP / filler

Trade Bojan, Herangomez, and Gay to Philly for Tobias

Don - KCP - Royce - Harris - Rudy

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.

I been saying that for a while.

The way we retool to win substantial games around Don and Rudy is to....

#1 - Hire a diamond in the rough coach who is an amazing coach who makes all the right calls.

#2 - find a steal of a trade for Conley. Maybe it's contract year KCP who has a Marcus Smart type year and a young Washington player who breaks out. Something like that.

#3 - Rudy Gay has a Comeback Player of the Year type season.

#4 - Bojan has an All Star caliber year while Don and Rudy are All Stars.

#5 - all the role players have really good years.

It's possible, but I don't believe realistic.

What I'd personally try to do:

Free agency:
• Resign Danuel House
• Sign Chris Boucher using our MLE

Trade 1 - Jazz receive: KCP, Ish Smith | Wizards receive: Mike Conley
Trade 2 - Jazz receive: Tobias, #23 | Philly receives: Bojan, Gay, Hernagomez

Draft - Select EJ Liddell #23 overall | Buy pick #40 from Atlanta and select Wendell Moore

Roster
PG - Mitchell | Smith | Butler
SG - KCP | Clarkson | NAW
SF - O'Neale | House | Moore
PF - Harris | Boucher | Lidell
C - Gobert | Udoka

Dribbling/playmaking gets weaker but defense goes through the roof!

Playmaking gets weaker replacing Conley with KCP but Harris is a significantly better playmaker than Bojan and rebounds at a higher rate.

Boucher/Liddell would give us a ton of options to go big or small.

And ideally NAW could be at least a rotational piece off the bench.

Danny Ainge has shown time and time again that he can retool a roster.
