Would you trade Gobert for #1 Draft Pick?

Ben Simmon's ceiling is Kevin Durant, and the league going toward versatile big who can switch, pass and guard on the perimeter. One dimensional bigs like Gobert who has virtually NO offensive game has rapidly depreciating value in the changing league

He was referring to trading gobert for jacob poertle, not been Simmons.

He actually said he would trade Gobert for Simmons like two posts before this

How did that game turn out for the Jazz? Or the season? Im not saying he's a bum, I'm just not as bullish on Gobert as I once was. His offense limitations will handicap his team every time. And I'm not sure how favors and Gobert play together and win a high percentage of games.

Increasingly it appears the Jazz are going nowhere with this rebuild. If a team calls offering a top 5 pick for Gobert or Hayward the Jazz probably ought to listen.

So you think the ute center would have us contending?

Heck, no. Gobert is 23-years-old and he's an elite defender at the center position. Once the Jazz start making the playoffs y'all will see how valuable Rudy truly is. He's a game-changer.

This post makes an interesting point.

I think rudy becomes much more valuable in the playoffs where defense seems to matter more and the pace generally slows down.

I would still trade him for the #1 pick doe
 
Simmons could possibly solve our PG problem from the PF spot. I expect wherever he winds up going they will run their offense through him similarly to Lebron (not saying he'll be Lebron good, relax). I'd probably do Ingram as well, but that'd necessitate some other changes with the roster. Thought about Bender some more and I think I'm leaning no, but I wouldn't be surprised if I wound up regretting it.

Probably not, but neither does Gobert so....

So might as well keep the guy who we already know is quite good and has allot of value
 
I'm tired of waiting until next year or waiting until the year after.

Why can't we just make a few key acquisitions and compete now? When our best players are in their primes? Trade away Gobert now and you're basically trading away Hayward and Favors too. They're not going to stick around 2+ seasons waiting for talent to develop.

This year was the year for us to compete. We've failed thus far to do so. And the bulk of the blame lies with DL. We had to address our PG and 3 pt shooting issues. Neither were addressed.

Should've unloaded Burke. And should've shopped Alec.

Well, we're going to have to wait. Unfortunately, injuries have done us in so far this season. Everyone's caveat was "if we stay healthy", and we didn't. It ****ing sucks.

If by "compete" you mean for a chip, you're kidding yourself. If by "compete" you mean for a playoff spot, well we are. There's still 27 games to play, bitches.

Excellent post. Common sense at last
 
You would fail running a business because that is what the NBA is. The fact that you said you wouldn't trade him pre injury Kobe shows this BIGTIME

Where's the loyalty? Trade Gobert -- that is ridiculous. Yes, Rudy is having problems this year but it's way too early to give up on him. Plus Rudy provides great leadership and chemistry to the team. Players like that, like Ingles and Booker, two other examples, have a value that outweighs their contributions on the court.

Also, these are guys the fans like and are easy to root for. Would you like to trade Rudy for Carmelo, for instance, or even Kobe before he was injured. Hell no -- no one wants to root for a ********.
