Thanks I enjoy talking to you too. Basketball is a great game and I have always liked Atlanta mostly because the Jazz traded Dominique to them. The Jazz made that trade because of financial reasons. I always believed if they had kept him the Jazz would have a couple of NBA trophies. Stockton, Malone and Dominique.1. Debatable. It's all about the best offer, if you get him, some other prospects, and the draft picks, Utah would seriously consider it as most teams would. My guess is what you think you can probably get for Mitchell is not an offer any NBA team would make. I personally think you could get a better offer for Mitchell.
2. He has been.
3. Naw. He's not limited. He just isn't consistent, if he ever becomes consistent, he has all-star potential.
4. Very confused if you think you can get OG for Gobert. Extremely confused.
5. Do you? That severely limits his incoming value and trade market to levels that may seem undesirable. I don't believe that's something Utah is willing to do, it's something I don't believe I would be willing to do. I feel like it's easier just to try your hardest to improve the locker room culture and make it where Rudy and Mitchell want to work together.
6. Yeah
7. Yeah
8. How?
9. If you are exclusively talking about impact, yes. But value wise, no, not even close.
10. Yeah, I agree. You seem very intelligent and a great representation of the Jazz fanbase. I've enjoyed talking with you.
OG isn't consistent because he is hurt and not as talented offensively as you claim. Just my opinion. Rudy is an ALL-star multiple times and OG has never been one. He has a good chance but it is only potential. You have to accomplish it before using it to support your argument. I don't think we could get OG for Rudy because of Rudy's contract and age not because OG is better than Rudy. You may be right about that is the best offer the Jazz can get for Rudy before the draft but now that FA is here, there is potential the Jazz can get a better deal. It may or may not happen but I think there is a better chance to do so now. I personally would not get rid of Rudy unless I got the package I wanted. I would rather keep him and like you said improve the culture and team around him.
