So what happens at the PF spot now? I'm excited as **** for Conley/Mitchell/Gobert core assuming the Jazz can find a stretch 4 of some sort on the market but I don't have my hopes up considering Conley is taking up the cap room if we keep Favors too.

Just need him to sign with Utah and then we're a Terry Rozier away from contending!

It would be a fast paced system but the problem is that Rubio starting at PG likely hardcaps your team to a 2nd round/maybe conference finals team at best depending on talent around him as the game slows down significantly in the playoffs regardless.

That's a credit to Rubio the player who is in his prime, but I don't see how you can look at the positions Rubio was in and think "this really suits his strengths"

The story fate is writing for the Jazz is probably another chapter of "Jazz interested in a bunch of guys and get nobody" if we're being really cynical.

Snyder's system sucked *** for Rubio individually and I have no doubt that if he gets to go to a fast paced team he'll look a lot better than he did for most of his Jazz stint. I'm very interested to see where he goes I think he'll be a good fantasy pickup with the right team

Why would the Nets trade Dimwiddle for Korver lol, even if it's for cap dump purposes there will be plenty of other teams willing to offer more for Dimwiddie than a guy on the verge of retirement. Orlando instantly comes to mind along with Detroit and Phoenix.

I'd want to see Donovan really hit all star status before I'd call that team a contender, but they'd be fun as hell to watch and definitely competitive.

There's a higher chance of landing Tobias than Brogdan, dude is a RFA and also came off a pretty good playoff run there's no way Milwaukee let him walk. Was their 2nd best player in a lot of games

To be fair to the point guards of the league, Russell Westbrook is running almost entirely off of reputation at this point and there is a very real argument that he hurts his team more than helps come playoff time. Thought this year he turned a corner when he started deferring to PG mid regular...

It's more to do with Chicago having a roster full of guys that need to be fed and no one to feed them than anything else. I doubt they get a guy in the draft who helps them with that after they slipped in the lottery, and signing Rubio to a fat contract for like a 1 + 1 doesn't really change...

You say this as if Charlotte have shown themselves to be anything but incompetent over the last few years

I was trying to be nice

Think it comes back to a similar point you made about how it'd be a tough narrative for the Hornets to sell if they decide to skimp out on giving Kemba the supermax. Would be a tough narrative to sell trading your all star in the lead up to the ASG being held in your own city too.

I think Charlotte bawks at the Kemba supermax tbh

I don't think a championship level team can have a PG like Rubio in 2019 but for his sake I hope I'm proven wrong.

The only thing that worries me about Zion is potential injury with his size, he's got everything else you'd want from a #1 prospect including the ability to really give a **** about wanting to play and wanting to improve, which is an underrated aspect of prospects with Andrew Wiggins probably...

I'm hoping this too as someone who is admittingly a bit down on Allen as a prospect. I'm hoping to see some actual dominance unlike Lyles who just volume chucked on poor efficiencies.

@Wes Mantooth I liked most of your idea but Cory Joseph probably isn't even worth a full MLE at this point. Dude had a worse TS% than Rubio, Exum and Neto last season. Think there could be better targets for a full MLE (e.g. Pat Bev)

I think it's possible but I think the Celtics would be more likely to flip their picks + filler for Conley than trade for Favors.
