Hypnotoad Intervention Needed

The Jazz had a similar player in Rubio (albeit not as good as Simmons). They moved on from him because he couldn't shoot. Why would they go back to that situation?

I think a sign-and-trade with Conley could happen, but not to Charlotte. Why

I was just joking. There's no way the Jazz bring back Hayward. Too many hurt feelings.

What if you replaced Gobert with Simmons? I don't know if I agree with it but

The Jazz aren't going to replace Gobert with Simmons. All the talk of moving on

Plus. Even if Gobert was replaced by a stretch 5, I'd say no. You just can't

I have been an avid Gobert defender here. No doubt he is the centerpiece of this

Jazz moved on from Rubio because an opportunity to upgrade presented itself with Conley. Better shooter for sure and

If there was a way to move players around during the summer and test the fit I would love to see how Simmons worked on

I’d only do this if the Jazz had an answer to play as a big man besides Gobert.

I don't think Hayward is enough better than Bogy to overcome his injury issues.
