Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[YoungJefe]

If you think Danny Ainge is going to get back into a corner by Don and force himself to a team that doesn't have the assets we want, you will be surprised.

Donovan allows you to recruit and attract other talent, he's love amongst stars in the league. Rudy doesn't help you with that. Donovan has the 7th highest PPG average in NBA playoff history, Rudy is supposedly an amazing defender and has been exposed year after year in the playoffs.

Don's charisma is CEO, super leader level. I agree. Don's value is inflated in Utah because the Jazz are so desperate for it - elsewhere not so much. Rudy will have a super star wing helping with the perimeter in Minnesota. There will be no sorry collapse like it was here.

Do you give up 5 first round picks for a player who does not want to play for your team? Hell no you don't. You just invested the decade and possibly your career.

All this bickering on what’s gonna or should happen next when Ryan Smith has been telegraphing what he’s gonna do in a situation like this since he purchased the team.

If you read the tea leaves, Ryan has a vision for the Jazz that’s along the lines of: We don’t rebuild, we reload. I think bringing in D-Wade was part of his vision along those lines. I could end up being wrong, but I don’t think the next move is trading Donovan. In fact, quite the opposite. I think he’s currently trying to orchestrate a coup with the Gobert assets and bring somebody MASSIVE in to play alongside Don.

I do feel that way too. All we can do ATM is speculate until the day comes.

Opinion as fact is a fun premise

If Don become available a lot of teams are going to call on him. He literally averaged more ppg on better efficiency than Steph last season, lol.

I agree he will go for a ton but you need to stop with this Curry stuff. Mitchell isn't even close to Curry and never will be.

26 ppg guys in their prime on reasonable deals don't grow on trees. Rudy's deal will be the worst in the NBA in a couple of years and the Wolves are a terrible franchise, haven't won a series in almost 2 decades. The Don hate/slander is so weird.

He averaged more ppg on better efficiency this year. When Curry didn't have his super team last year he couldn't even lead GS to the playoffs...

Don isn't valuable, you're right. If you have to move Don again or Rudy again in 2 years does Don at 27 with a $30M deal or Rudy at 32 with a $45M deal sound more appealing?

Agree to disagree.

Of course you do if you view him as a game changer for you because Mitchelll is locked up for 3 more years. That is plenty of time to change his mind.

Agree to disagree.

Who has signed a super max contract and then been a positive asset to their team at the end of it?
