The fact that Tyreke hasn't missed more games due to random strains, tweaks, or contusions means he's on borrowed time

Not saying he’s worth it, but unless they’re robbing the Cavs blind I dunno what they could possibly give Utah that would make the trade make sense for the Jazz.

I will cry if we get IT or JR

Yeah but it's hilarious that Magic still hasn't learned not to do it after being fined for PG and before that when he was with the team in an advisory role.

IT is expiring, so it would just be jettisoning one year of Rubio who clearly doesn't fit. Include Jae Crowder who seems hurt/non functional outside of a motion based offense, and Calderon to make it work salary wise



They try again next year or pay IT if he shows improvement

I think the Jazz would like to make the playoffs, so it's just a fantasy trade unless there's a third or fourth team involved

That's a fun fake trade. Rubio is sad in Utah.

I dunno that he's sad, he has a weird reputation for wanting to bolt despite desperately wanting to stay with his teams and setting down roots. I think he might even like having more of a green light to shoot, but he's only like 80% as fun to watch and he's still stuck on "the best lottery team in the West" which is a pretty lovely place to be.

Utah would probably get pretty bad without him though.

It's Utah, so can we get a picture of him with a black girlfriend and let nature take its course?

Lockback I feel like we're always failing to parse each other. By sad I mean he's not playing Rubio ball, not that he's an emotional wreck.

The Cavs know how to catch incredible Lebron Passes, and this would let Lebron get off the ball, which he seems to want in the regular season. I say forget IT, he's not going to be anything this season, he might never recover. Embrace fun basketball in Lebron's last season as a Cavalier

I dunno, I wasn’t kidding about Rubio fitting in recently. Hes been more aggressive driving but unlike the beginning of the year he seems to know peoples timings coming off cuts/pnrs and favorite 3 pt spots so instead of driving wildly then making a terrible forced pass out of the paint he’s hitting wide open people or people in stride for easy buckets. Outside of the draft and or Exum not being consistently dead I would be happy going forward with Ricky especially since he won’t command a high salary.

Edit: at the beginning of the year they were loving up this pocket pass pnr play all the time

I think you're right about Rubio fitting in to the offense, it's really just a fake trade to get the Cavs to stop imploding without considering the jazz, beyond resuscitating Crowder on his super cheap deal

As a short-time subscriber to the Athletic (they had a free trial deal a little while ago), it's awesome and I wish I could justify the cost.

Well at least LBJ can say that he got a ring in Cleveland and hopefully he can find somewhere fun to be until he can't do nothin no more.
