Before the outbreak I would’ve. But with the cap likely going down no.Huge Rudy fan. I support this thread.
Having said that, like someone else in this thread said, I wouldn't even think of giving him the supermax. (At least what I last heard his supermax would be which was like in the ballpark of 60 million per year or some crazy BS like that)

AK47 was no where near this impactful before his issues.
Use your ****ing eye test. He wasn’t nearly as good. He was never the force on defense Gobert is. Without AK the jazz didn’t hardly lose a beat. Gobert carries this team. Numbers lie.He was more impactful according to the advanced stats. Hell, his Box +/- in 2004-05 before he got hurt was MVP-level. Even in the late 2000s, his advance stats suggested All-Star-level impact.
It wasn't just the Rubio thing... he did other good stuff... like sub him in for Mike right now as a starter and I think our team is better. The issue was Ricky/Rudy/Favs. The numbers showed it was one too many non-shooters... we rolled with it for a while.
We could have tried to get a pg that could shoot and match him up with Favs and Rudy... maybe that works. But nah... we stuck with the 3 non-shooter thing so long. Or you can run DM with Ingles in the backcourt and a shooting 3 with Favs and Rudy.
That's really my issue... we stick with **** that isn't ideal for too long.

Ok. If that’s what he meant that’s fair.I believe he was talking about effort, willingness to do the little things, etc., as opposed to impact.
To be fair, we would never know if they would take nights off if they weren't getting the ball. They always got the ballComparing Gobert to Malone and Stockton is blasphemous. You would never see them take nights off or play half *** cause they weren’t getting the ball. I love Rudy as much as the next guy. But he needs to grow up and realize the team won’t win anything unless he buys into the “team” and not his individual stats.
