I say that we resign him to a reasonable contract if possible. (short term, similar money to current) And we see how Exum's development goes in the offseason. You can always change roles based on performance. But putting us in a flexible situation for the future is the key. If you can't make this happen, you trade him before the deadline and try to get back some value in any form, although that is an uphill battle, given the time that's left before deadline.
 
Love everything Rubio stands for but I'm just not sure he is the answer going forward. If he could consistently put up 13-15 ppg we'd be fine but hes just been too up and down this year. I'll wait and see how he finishes the year before making my own couch GM decision.
 
What I do with Rubio long term - trade him for an asset now since I'm inclined not to re-sign him in the offseason.

What will the Jazz do - Start him when he gets back.

May depend on outback FA options at PG. No way we roll with just Exum and Neto at PG unless Dante explodes.
We wouldn't just roll with Exum and neto at point guard.
We have Mitchell and Allen too

Also,..... Position-less basketball is an idea that might work

Rubio was on the team when we went on that tear last year in the 2nd half and until he got hurt he helped us win the 1st round playoff series if I'm not mistaken! I say we keep him! He's a true point guard that knows how to get the basketball to the big guys underneath, and when he's hitting his outside shots we are downright lethal! Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he's an asset we can't afford to let go and get nothing in return. And with Korver now on the team, Rubio could even be more valuable when starts playing again!

I hate Ricky's shooting, but none of the players you mention are any better from 3 than Ricky and are worse at running the offense (I think the jury is still out on DM). Why do we want to dump Ricky again?

Ingles is running a lot of the offense too...
 
If you trade for a guy who isnt a PG (like Otto Porter), you probably re-sign Rubio.

If you arent and you're looking at free agency, then you're probably letting him go.

He obviously starts if he's on the roster.
 
I don’t know but it’s up to him to show he belongs and can be consistent.

I prefer that he stay and comes off the bench for cheap money but that sounds like an unlikely scenario.

But they are better from three though.
