Seems like it is a priority for the Jazz based on the draft and their recent acquisition(s).

I like that.

EDIT: I said "FA acquisition(s)" referencing the Rubio trade. I changed it to "recent acquisitions."
 
Who are the FA acquisitions?

Side note: get a meeting with Ibaka and offer Toronto Favors, Exum and Diaw.

Okay, I'm dumb about this stuff. I meant the trade for Rubio, obv.
 
But we're gonna keep Hill. So Hill/Rubio is better than Hill/Mack/Neto, yeah?
Yes - if it goes down like this. Would laugh my *** off if DL managed to bring back Hayward, Hill and Jingles - plus add Rubio and Mitchell. Upgrade at PF and that team is effing boss.

I'm so hyped on this team right now.

I know there's this thing called the Golden State Warriors, but **** them. The Jazz are going to be a beautiful team next year. And lets just pretend the odds even out and injuries aren't the biggest factor in where the Jazz end up next year... It could be fun.

Me too.

Donovan Mitchell - A great perimeter defender with a riciulous wingspan and a knack for getting steals. Plus, he's so damn nice.

Tony Bradley - Young and raw, but an offensive rebounding machine. Very needed on the bench unit with Gobert resting.

Ricky Rubio - An absolute brilliant passer and solid defender. Team player through and through.

Jingles - Has J. J. Reddick's face tattooed under the words "My Bitch" on his chest. He'll keep getting better and be the best glue guy in the league.

Gordon Hayward - Time to get it done DL. This team is primed. Offseason has been great so far. This is the last step.

If Hayward signs, there might be another.

True. But this is the last big one that really needs to happen. Everything before and after that point is gravy. Hopefully DL gets Hayward back under contract and also pulls off whatever else he has up his sleeve.

I dont think Rubio is an upgrade defensively over Hill.

He is though. Maybe not a lot, but definitely in certain situations. He can defend PGs better than Hill. Even if you go back to the Hill trade last year, Pacer fans would tell you Hill's defensive weakness was against quicker PGs. Much better against SGs.

With the toe injury, Hill's defense suffers even more.

Rubio is going to be less effective as a shooter and scorer at the rim, otherwise he'll be an upgrade, including defense.
