I have heard this brought up on a youtube channel and I was wondering what Jazzfanz thought about it?

Rudy Gobert, and filler for Paul George and Ivan Zubac?

- PG was awful in the playoffs. Recurring theme
_ zubac is a serviceable big

Then just trade Conley to the Knicks for Bobby Portis and filler
Re-sign Clarkson


Mitchell, Clarkson
George, O'neale
Bogdanovic, Inlges
Portis, Draft pick
Zubac, Favors, Morgan
 
I actually had this thought the other day. I would be tempted but ultimately I think I’d pass. I don’t think that team performs any better than our current roster.
 
If you're thinking that there's anything in the Rudy relationship with the Jazz that has a good chance to go south, I'd likely take it (don't think Clips would offer it, though).

I've thought Zubacs is underrated for a while now. And with both DM and Mitchell, we have two big-shot makers that would take some of the pressure off PG.

But just no to a Portis-for-Conley swap. There must be a better way to accomplish the thing you're trying to accomplish with that move.
 
I would do that trade. A lot is made of Paul George’s playoff failings... he’s not a number 1... he’s a number 2... we have stronger leadership that could help him exist in a proper role. Paul was like a top 5 player a couple years ago. Zubac is solid and improving on a cheap deal. Paul is almost exactly what we need.
 
Looking at this trade framework, it looks like the "filler" we'd need to make the trade even possible financially is Ingles. (Technically, we could throw the "kitchen sink" contracts we have at the Clippers, but why would the deepest team in the league want those?) Still, even if Ingles were included (which I think would make the trade more "even" for both sides), I don't think the Clips are interested. As hard as it might be for DL to move on from Conley (rightly or wrongly), I think the pressure not to give up on PG after one year would be much stronger.

He was a number 2. And he took a number 2 in the playoffs.
