Rumor says LA is unhappy with AD’s injury situation, and Rudy would give LBJ the defensive presence he needs inside. Conley gives them another shooter.

The Jazz would be betting that AD can get/stay healthy but he has proven when he is/does he is capable of doing everything they need in terms of shooting, passing, inside, outside, defense, running the floor, etc.

The Jazz with Donovan, AD, and Bogdanovic and some good role players might actually have a shot. Relying on Rudy is never going to get the Jazz to the next level IMO. There’s no improvement in his game worth keeping him around to see what he might become. He is what he is at this point. He’s a very good player but not what the Jazz need right now.

It’s a risk but AD could seriously change the whole conversation.
