What could Jazz want/get for Gobert?

Anyone here still think we should seriously entertain trading Gobert? I believe he has the potential to be the best player from the 2013 draft by next season.
Yep. He matched up really well with the Gasol brothers and out hustled them all night.
He is still pretty raw defensively though, but I think he's DeAndre Jordan level in terms of talent already - the sky's the limit!!!

No way you can trade him. Too rare of a physical specimen, not only his measurables, but also his love of the game and his love to play defense. You won't ever have to give Gobert 15 touches a game (like AK) to appease him.
If we end up signing Kanter long-term, we pretty much have to trade Gobert at some point to get value back.
Kanter or Gobert have to go, both can't stay on future contracts. Too much money to pay to a 3 big rotation.

After seeing him play today, no way would I trade him before Kanter or Favors. Guy has potential to be DPOY.

I'll take a bow for declaring him pretty much untouchable with my post back on 8/18.
Gobert can be a dominant defender inside. Favors is nice, but not a real force on either end. IMO, Jazz probably have three core players in Exum, Hood and Gobert. All three of those guys have elite skills; they just need to develop. Kanter and Burks COULD join those three. As for Hayward, I think he's just too expensive for what he brings. In 3 years, he'll want $20M+/per year. Just not worth it.
The task now is to surround Gobert with great shooters. That's one reason I'm so high on Hood. Now get a stretch-4 and a "making" guard. Favors will be expendable when his contract expires if he doesn't develop a mid-range game.

Favors' contract expires just as Gobert will come off his rookie deal, so the choice could very well be between Rudy and Derrick. I think Kanter will be shown the door after this season - maybe even a deadline deal...unless he shows he can defend and stretch the floor. Gobert is going to be the starting center within 3 years. Book it!

Cavs take a year to gel, losing in the finals to SA. Then Utah starts dominating with Gobert in the middle. LBJ doesn't win another ring.

I don't think there is any way that the FO settles for LeBron to give up Gobert. The Cavs would have to throw in at least 2 1sts to sweeten the deal, otherwise no way do we part with Gobert.
And maybe if they throw in kyrie we do the deal lol
Lebron,kyrie, and 2 1sts for gobert.
