Okay, I'll do it - Wolves at 76ers GDT

[TheFuture]

As far as Rudy goes, there is good Rudy and bad Rudy. He can be really effective when he's catching the rock and not being a hindrance on offense. He always brings it defensively, but if he can't be a functioning piece of a 5 man offense, I don't care how well he is playing defensively. Net rankings don't mean anything from game to game with this guy.

I 100% disagree. You've coached. This team is nowhere without Rudy on defense. Watch them. They look for him for help when he isn't even out there.

This isn't soccer. You have to be able to score. With games routinely going above 240 points, you can't have dead weight out there on offense. He's not always dead weight, but when he is he hurts us.

Rudy also can't be a crutch forever. We can trade him in soon for something useful or run him into the ground. Either way they will have to figure out how to survive without him sooner or later.

Cool, I'm not going to disagree with your premise that you need to be able to score. But I'm going to add three letters to your "score" and say that you just need to "outscore". And Gobert each season outscores the other team...regular season and post season.

I totally agree with you when he's not having one of those games where he's worthless at the offensive end. And that happens more often than you might think. Overall he's a net positive but some games he really messes things up.

The team is not even close in those games without him. On offense, he should be fed more. Rudy is not expendable for this team.

I don't believe anyone suggested as much, but is he an untouchable, untradable player? Absolutely not

I disagree. He is 100% untouchable for this team. Who could you even get that would closely mimic his impact? You're not getting a Flagg, Wemby, Harper, Edgecombe, top 5 pick etc. for him. Moving him just wouldn't be worth it.

How absurd to suggest is impact is equatable to that level of player or prospect.

Let me say again, I like Rudy. I think he's a valuable player, but his limitations create unique constraints and moving in a different direction would make some sense if they chose to do it.

As I've said earlier, IHart is certain to be a FA this off-season. There have already been connections drawn between him and TC in the past and if you told me you could swap Rudy for him and draft picks or a high end rotation piece, I'm absolutely doing it.

I think that's unlikely, and I have no problem retaining Rudy, but I am concerned about what that means for the team moving forward

I don't think this team is even playoff caliber with a Rudy and Ihart swap.
