If the Jazz wanted next year's #1 pick (so they could draft Victor Wenbanyama), but had to trade Gobert to get it,

Nope. Not a chance IMO.

No

6/23/22 9:25am

Plus they wouldn't be guaranteed the pick anyway

You’re not getting an unprotected first for Rudy.

6/23/22 9:27am

Eh, not necessarily. For a competing team, possibly. But Jazz won't trade him

HingleMcCringleberry

Not one that lands you Wenbanyama which is what the OP is asking.

fredetteaboutit13

Absolutely agree there. But any unprotected first is not out of the question.

No - quickly consider the options

Trade Rudy, tell Donovan that he's injured.

GRCoug

6/23/22 9:36am

Trade them both

6/23/22 9:38am

The thing people miss about trading Rudy & Donovan is that you’re also likely getting back a top 5 (or top 3) draft pick

Yeah that method has worked out so well for other teams huh?

ManicBlue

6/23/22 9:48am

Just the spurs, warriors, cavs, Celtics, 76ers, suns, grizzlies, mavericks, etc.

Really? What stars did they trade away to burn it all down? I'll wait.

ManicBlue

6/23/22 10:25am

The Warriors traded KD for Russell which got them Wiggins

6/23/22 10:40am

None of those fit where the Jazz are at this point.

ManicBlue

6/23/22 11:27am

I can’t argue with that…no team has been in the exact position the Jazz are in

6/23/22 11:35am

You also have to figure in the Jazz's location. It's not like they're in a big market that

ManicBlue

6/23/22 11:43am

Seems like even more reason to go after high draft picks now rather than wait

6/23/22 11:49am

Agreed, there's 5 options

krindorr

6/23/22 12:51pm

You do realize that both are under contract for THREE more years right?

ManicBlue

6/23/22 2:21pm

Did you read my post?

6/23/22 2:29pm

Yes and I disagree with your conclusion.

Giannis and the bucks is a go halfway example that worked

krindorr

6/23/22 12:01pm

Didn’t they get the 2nd pick when they got Jabari?

6/23/22 12:10pm

I mean...I guess. But it's not like Jabari Parker is what made them an elite team

krindorr

6/23/22 12:22pm

They did bottom out though. Giannis is of course the reason but they did tank

6/23/22 12:32pm

I mean, the Jazz had a top 5 pick that same year

krindorr

6/23/22 12:35pm

I’m not sure of the relevance of the Jazz pick

6/23/22 12:46pm

Those are teams whose fortunes changed with high draft picks.
