There may be a surprise candidate to come out but honestly looks like he is going to be the best player on the trade market this offseason. Can definitely see on the cusp teams with a weakness at C/weak defense going after him like Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas (maybe not anymore after what Kidd said lol), etc. What kind of haul are you looking for if you're the Jazz? The team will definitely choose Donovan because he has more "star power" and sells tickets. Rudy said the rumor isn't true though fwiw.

THE DUKE Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Rudy might be a-ok with moving out of Utah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically Mitchell has been great in the playoffs and Gobert does a disappearing act. Other players also seem to dislike Gobert and always seem to poke fun at him around the All Star break. I think it would be easier for the Jazz to get other FA around Mitchell than it would be around Gobert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy takes the blame like your own Baker Mayfield, he's not as good as hoped but not as bad as he is made out to be and takes the blame for a lot of other players short comings. Either way we need to make major changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Jazz receive: DeAndre Hunter, Clint Capela, Jalen Johnson, #16, #44 Hawks receive: Rudy Gobert, Jared Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 FWIW Don to the Knicks rumors are heating up. A Jazz insider said the league may even boost the Knicks pick in the lottery to help get a deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 What are the odds the Suns run it back vs letting Ayton leave in a sign and trade? Before that series I would've said of course they bring him back, but not sure anymore. What would even be some good landing spots for him? I'm not sure how the cap works out for all these teams because I'm too lazy to look them all up but fit wise I think Portland, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Washington would all love to have him.

Charlotte seems like the best potential landing spot for him. They have two early picks this year so that helps, not sure what else they would be able to offer but a core of LaMelo/Bridges/Ayton is solid to build around.

Ayton is gone they’re not even hiding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the way it ended there will be more drastic changes. I think a bad team like Detroit or Indy sign him to an offer-sheet and the Suns try to get something back.

They have a lot of guys on expiring deals that they can potentially move, need a center, and have two 1st round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding Ayton to cade and a rookie this year would be solid. We can send Jerami Grant for him and call it good. Maybe Olynyk too if you need/want a C back. Then Stewart can move to a backup PF/C role which suits him better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
