Rubio for Conley. Straight up.

Isn't Conley a free agent after the year? I wouldn't mind trading Rubio provided we can get back a solid PG somewhere.

Yes he is. High risk move, but gives us the leg up to sign him or the cap room to look somewhere else if Conley wants nothing to do with us. Since this is about realistic trades I thought I would offer something that would actually be possible.

I pass and I like both players. Conley is a free agent who will get PAID. Ricky's locked into a much better deal. Also Conley's four years older.

I'd rather get Exum from them which would probably help their playoff chances more this year to keep Burke and still get Ricky. But Ricky's not getting traded mid-season.

This works too.

I thought about Exum. Big concerns to me about him being a bust, but if he is not. Wow that would be a crazy young team we would have if he lived up to his pre-draft hype.

I would do this trade in a heartbeat. Not sure the Jazz do though. From what I've read they are unwilling to trade major assets this year and are still focused on rebuilding. They want a stop gap PG. That being said Rubio is around the same age as Gordon and Favors and would greatly improve their core.

That is a really dumb trade idea. We might as well throw in KAT and Wiggins too.

Not really. Ricky's inability to score efficiently and stay healthy hurt the team overall. Exum and Lyles offer great upside to grow with our young core.

Ricky is one of the top point guards. He has the greatest positive impact on the team right now. There's a recent he consistently leads the team every year in plus minus stats. You are way too hung up on scoring. We got a top point guard at a bargain salary. He compliments KAT and Wiggins perfectly and he's only 24.

If he's the perfect complement, why have we been so fucking bad for most of this year? Seriously the plus/minus shit has to stop because that literally means nothing on bad teams. Ricky is not one of the top PG's because all the top PG's have been helping their teams win more games than we have this year. That's what good players do. They win you games. They don't plus/minus your brains out in losses.

...because we give three 20-year olds a ton of minutes, and as you have previously mentioned before, we have two players that are in their prime in Rubio and Dieng. We just don't have enough decent veteran players that are in their prime. Here we go with the "Rubio's supposed to win games and change the franchise" bullshit again. That's never going to be him. He's not being talked about as a superstar player so why are people criticizing him as one?

I would like to see Martin, Miller, and Prince all be moved for high 2nd round picks if possible.
