This.Acquiring Rubio without losing anyone is a job well done for a team that desperately needs PG talent.
All that happened was we took a good player for almost nothing because we could.
I disagree. Rubio is much lower priced and not as good as Hill. It only makes sense that the Jazz would have a greater chance of spending MLE-type money on a backup PG now.

According to @FiveThirtyEight CARMELO ratings, Jazz just upgraded from a "key role player" (Hill) to a "borderline all-star" (Rubio)

I'm going to cringe so hard if Hayward leaves and everyone blames it on Lindsey getting Rubio.

Wait, what? Rubio is one of the best ball distributors and ball handlers in the league. He's not a shooter, but we're not bringing him here for his shooting.
I didn't really have a point, was just adding to yours actually.
Sorry, [MENTION=253]Saint Cy of JFC[/MENTION], I'm talking about Rubio vs. Hill. I now realize you're probably talking about Rubio vs. neither Rubio nor Hill.

I think this move came down to not willing to wait on Hill to make a decision. I would bet the Jazz offered him a relatively fair market value, but he wants to get as max of an offer as possible which means hitting the open market and letting the bidding commence. Gordon will announce what team he plays for probably in 5 days or so and the team needs to be proactive now so waiting on Hill I think would've been foolish.
I just really want to know if this is the Millers being cheap ****s or a move the Jazz think actually improves the team.

Hey NAOS can you post my "Hill is a stopgap" quote in here? Thanks

Exactly. This is one of the best trades I've ever seen the Jazz make. Fans should be ecstatic to have a PG like Rubio on the team.
Yeah. I looked at Teo as only being a real possibility if we struck out on trade targets and Hill.
I guess it is more likely with Rubio to sign Teo than it is with Hill to sign Teo.

Is it being cheap or smart though to not sign a 31 year old PG to a 4 year max deal?

We didn't give up much for him. Could still pull off another move.

The only edge Hill has is shooting. Rubio is 10x better passer and their defense is on par. I think with pick and roll heavy offence Rubio will shine and will make Gobert into All-Star easily. I expect big jump in Gobert's offensive numbers with Rubio running the point. Dude is flat out one of the best passers out of pick an roll in NBA.
