I don't think anyone is interested in the trade for Faried, but the pick that would come along with him (hypothetically) is enticing. I'm skeptical about it happening.

No, he definitely watches. That dude lives for bball.

Maybe he really is the next Hayward...

Are you incapable of recognizing that people can have moved on, while still finding him a useful comparison player when speculating about team needs? And you're the one that came in and started telling everyone not to mention Hayward even as an ancillary example in a discussion that was...

I think you're the only person perceiving any kind of worship... Recognition of existence isn't some kind of mind-blowing compliment. He is a very good player, and people around here are closely acquainted with his game. Using him as a player comp makes sense. Doesn't mean people are obsessed...

No thanks. I don't know why you're so convinced this draft is totally devoid of talent in the 20s. It's not. Quick edit: I'd consider this trade if it was to move up for someone like Mikal Bridges, who could be a great fit with the team. But that's making a trade for a player you want to...

Sure, BPA at your draft position. If you're going to dump assets into trading up, it best be for a player you want.

He looks super comfortable tossing lobs out of the pnr (~2:10, section on hitting the roll man)... That bodes well for potential chemistry with Rudy. Plus: his ability to pull up at any point in the process would really help keep defenders honest, rather than draping all over Rudy.

But the question isn't about what other GMs think about Rudy vs KAT. The question is whether or not DL would entertain the idea of trading Rudy for KAT. The answer is no.

I mean, consider this for a moment: Dennis Lindsey has repeatedly stated he and the Jazz org view Rudy as a top ten player in the NBA. That means that they view maybe --MAYBE-- 9 players as being better, in terms of overall impact. None of those nine possible players are going to have the same...

It has nothing to do about personal feelings. This team is built around Rudy Gobert, and the team's priority is defense. Business requires a coherent strategy to be done well, not willy nilly ********. Swapping Rudy Gobert for KAT makes no sense, based on what this Jazz team has constructed...

My point is that, if he had been traded at the deadline -- based on reports regarding his market value, from Tony Jones, etc -- it would have been for pretty minor assets. My guess is a second rounder, or maybe two. There is very real value associated with having playoff experience. I think it...

I think the postseason experience the team just got is the best value the Jazz could have gotten out of the final months of Favors' contract. He won't be walking for nothing, if he leaves.

DL draft magic.

That's not what that post suggested.

Gobert and Mitchell can be a championship core.

I just think Gobert has pretty irreplaceable value to the team. I can't imagine them having any interest in trading him, regardless of who the target is. I get the sense they've built their house around Gobert, and they intend to live in it.

Pretty sure it's meant to read: "...two year deal, max." As in, no more than two years, not a max $ contract.

I don't think there is such a thing as a mock trade including Gobert that 'has legs'. The Jazz aren't trading him.
