The Mega Super Rumor Thread (Part 2)

Jazz certainly open to trading Rudy Gobert

It’s not a secret that the Jazz need to get better on the court. And there’s been plenty of talk around Rudy Gobert, Utah’s all-star center, with multiple teams remaining viable options, according to sources. The Jazz are certainly open to trading Gobert. But, they aren’t going to give him away. Gobert’s value to Utah is immense. It might dwarf his value on the open market. For those reasons, a trade package centered around Gobert is certainly possible, even as soon as Thursday. But it isn’t guaranteed. Utah has held conversations concerning finding a way into Thursday night’s draft, multiple league sources tell The Athletic. Whether something materializes from there, also remains to play out. But the Jazz are trying, and they are dangling many of the players in their core in order to conceivably find a match.

Always seems like we lose out on the big news for us. It’s a lot easier to get past these things if you take everything with a grain of salt.

and that’s not to say it’s not being discussed just helps mentally once it doesn’t happen lol

Yup, but know I'm just regurgitating things I saw on reddit. Many people agreed about Mr Dons status as a reputable San Antonio reporter

Waiting for the inevitable “Collins traded for Barnes + top 5 protected pick” headline to happen

...and think about this, we'll be doing much of the same a week from today with FAcy a week out

[theheroatl]

Yeah about this time is when all that hopium vanishes… “run it back guys” rejoice!

[Marvin24Williams]

What a roller coaster lol. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst 

[Dean Walker]

With the 4th pick mostly likely going to the Knicks this makes sense!

[Marvin24Williams]

Please just cut ties with Sacramento already. Their offer is absolute garbage

Collins for Barnes straight up.

[ShooterSays]

If it ends up being Collins for Barnes straight up....no #4 involved....

Absolute gut punch after the Murray rumors. Just brutal. No coming back from it.

lol..not happening unless in conjuction with the Murray trade. 

Edit: I should note.  These are tactics by the Hawks and Spurs. 

First Spurs guy says talks are dead.  Now Hawks are like well the Kings want JC!

Lol dont forget the heavily protected pick from Sac that we’ll never see

[Sothron]

I can't see us trading Collins straight up for Barnes. That's a terrible one sided trade.

If that is the trade, I'll have to take a break.

Man I hope so. But I'm not feeling as good as I was 12 hours ago.

[bleachkit]

Barnes is just ok. Also, he's already 30. This is not the move.
