Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

The only path to success is trading Donovan. That’s what you guys believe. We will suck without Gobert and if we traded Mitchell and kept Gobert we’d be awesome.

Getting #10 for Conley would be a tall order but given the current state of PG market, Wizards might go into desperate mode and do something stupid if their fail to land their top targets.

Only reason it's somewhat realistic is because Beal may have told them he wants a good veteran PG if he's going to resign there.

It’s funny because I feel like you used to lean more pro-Donovan after the Clippers series especially and now you lean more pro-Gobert.

My stance on Donovan has generally be the same. I really love the guy. I always thought he needed to be the smallest guy on the court... whether that is as a point guard or a shooting guard. I always thought our ability to win a title is dependent on him becoming a two way player. Maybe not the level of Kawhi but on the level of Jimmy Butler. After the last 12 months my belief that he can be a good defensive player is pretty much zero. He may just not have it. I always knew Rudy wouldn't develop a jumper or be dominant in the post... so it was going to depend on Donovan. He's fallen short of what I had hoped he could be. Doesn't mean I hate him... but if he is going to be a one way player then the second round is really our ceiling unless we get the most amazing injury luck possible.

It appears that is not enough for Donovan and he will want out... so I think we trade everyone and rebuild. Don't hate him... don't blame him... will always be a fan. I just think its whats best for us long term.

If the Hawks deal doesn't include Hunter, I'd need Okongwu.

Collins, Huerter, Okongwu, #16

For me, I’d need at least two rookie-scale players/1sts to even entertain the notion of trading Gobert. With regard to those types of future facing assets, anything less is a non-starter.

Whether it’s now or in two years at most, this team is going to be rebuilding and anyone that isn’t squarely focused on that reality isn’t dealing in reality. We need picks and promising young players, especially if we’re sending out a franchise pillar.

You'd be getting a 1st and Okongwu...
