Would have to bring a 3rd team that would want Rubio and give an additional asset to Phoenix. I doubt Utah really wants to go back to that just to grab Oubre since they willing gave up on it.

Jazz could then just start Mitchell at PG and sign someone like DJ Augustin to be the primary backup. Maybe even a Trey Burke reunion?

I think they could talk themselves into a reunion depending on how much they like Oubre and what else they get (I would think they’d get some additional fringe asset since OKC can flip Conley for something and they don’t want the returning long term salary).

Oubre is a UFA after this year though. If we’re going to trade Conley’s expiring we should at least attempt to get some long term value.
 
Is there any team out there that loves Oubre?

Phoenix gets Paul
OKC gets Conley
Utah gets Rubio and something from team #4
Team #4 gets Oubre

4 team trades are rare, but there is a **** ton of logic to this.
 
I kinda like Oubre for us. Gives us more length/defense. If it doesn't work he's out in a year.

Starting
Ricky
DM
Bojan
Oubre
Rudy

JC/Royce/Joe and a big off the bench. Spot minutes for a rookie or a g league guy.

Ricky might be more functional now that we have more space.

I'm definitely trying to snake an asset out of the deal and trying to dump Ed in there too.

I love Oubre for us as well but like I said there is no guarantee he re-signs here. He’s a UFA after this season.
 
Here is what the deal ends up being imo...

OKC sends CP3 and #24

Phoenix sends Oubre/Ricky/Jerome #10

If a 3rd team comes in there is some play there, but that will be the primary items involved in the deal.

They will get a pick and get off his deal... guaranteed.

I wouldn't take that bet. Look, there has been a lot of smoke and Piss Craul played very well last year. But... $41 million for a player who is 35 and $44 million for a player who will by 37 by the end of his contract? That's a hard pill to swallow. Now on top of that you have to give up a future first? Explain that to your fan base when he is in crutches mid season...

It's always a risky business but that risk is legit.

Cool... the Knicks are already offering cap savings. So that is who they are competing against. He was all-NBA and the suns haven't made the playoffs in 10 years. If he gets them there its a win for them and their fans.
 
If Phoenix gets this deal done they could be terrifying. Ayton, Bridges, Booker all take a step forward. They could also do the deal after using like 19M in cap space to sign Gallo, Wood, Ibaka, Joe Harris, Bertans etc.

Imagine CP, Booker, Bridges, Gallo or Wood, Ayton... obviously CP has to stay somewhat healthy and they are a surefire playoff team... maybe with homecourt advantage in the first round.

They should make that happen.
 
I think getting Ricky and oubre or Gordon for mike is a win. Any situation that brings us in a 2 for 1 like this or a deal with Philly is what we need cause we lack depth and this helps with that.

I have decided that I really like Oubre. I was always kinda meh but his shooting is slightly improved... he's scoring 18-19 pts a game with solid efficiency. His passing is the tool that keeps him from being an all star, but he's pretty damn solid and provides something on the wing we don't have.

We are a better team with Rubio and Oubre than we are with Conley.

And we save $3 million for next season which would allow us to bring back JC for less than $10 million AND use the full MLE staying under the luxury.

And we get to start Don at PG.

And I think Rubio and JC work together in the 2nd unit.

And we get another wing scoring option in Oubre.

Jazz would be absolutely fire with Oubre and Rubio right now rather than Conley.

r/sarcasm
 
Yeah, let's not trade our best plus/minus player for another free agent while making our competition substantially better. Do not like. If it doesn't help us beat the Lakers this year, no changes should be made.

I just can’t with that contract. Thunder want to move him because he’s so expensive.

I want flexibility going into 2022.

Not only do Rudy and CP3 not get along (though I'd wager, they'd be best buds on the same squad).

What would concern me is CP3 needs the ball in his hands more than Conley does. If Donovan doesn't get to dribble - that takes away all of his dribble-drive moves. Part of the reason CP3's points, FG%, 3P%, and FT% went UP this season vs last season - he had the ball in his hands a lot more. He would probably be a better fit than Conley, but for how long? CP3 with be CP36 years old by the end of this season, and when players of that age get an injury - it's often their last injury.

Also Paul does nothing to help with our length and defensive backcourt issues.

Phoenix is taking a huge gamble. OKC took his contract with nothing to lose and everything to gain (draft picks).

Just bumping for the revisionist history that’s being going around lately. About half of the board didn’t want anything to do with Paul.

I actually thought we should throw a pick with Conley halfway through CP's year in OKC. People bitched about the salary. Imagine how good CP would make Rudy look? We might have a title if we had done it.
