[QUOTE]As far as talent, there's no question that he belongs in the NBA. It's the other things that have been suspect
[QUOTE]Rudy Gobert had just 3 points and 7 rebounds tonight, the lowest totals in both categories since he became a starter after the All-Star break. Teams are starting to put significant scouting efforts on Rudy Gobert
[QUOTE]The Russian superstar came back home after three months out of action in the NBA due to family reasons. He signed a short-term contract with CSKA in mid February wanting to win the Euroleague for first time and is ready to finish his career this summer.

[QUOTE]So what should the Jazz do in the upcoming offseason? Option one is trading young talent and possibly a draft pick to acquire something better, for example, swapping Burke for a veteran like Danilo Gallinari of the Denver Nuggets.[/QUOTE]
I doubt Trey has much value. They need a pg maybe 2 and a back-up center not another wing that needs time.
[QUOTE]Option two is continuing to draft and develop new talent since they will most likely pick 12th in this year
[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You]Matt talked about tanking but didn't really say the Wolves were. I thought it was funny considering the Jazz's tanking the past two years. Burke with another horrible game and he's been starting or playing a key role off the bench the past two years. Dante hasn't done anything for a few games now. That is tanking.[/QUOTE]
I actually talked about it in another thread, and said I wonder if he had said this before the all star game.
On Simmon's Trade Value Column part 2, Gobert was in the 30's i think. In part 3 Simmons said he regretted not putting him in the low 20's with Giannis and Wiggins.
He's more valuable than Giannis, and probably close to Wiggins if not tied. That's as far as perceived value though. In actual play i would rather have him than Wiggins on pretty much any team.
[QUOTE]Aaron Falk: Jazz announce they have purchased the Idaho Stampede. Team has signed a one-year extension to stay in Boise through 2015-16 at least. Twitter @tribjazz
Jeff Zillgitt: Told Jazz had option in contract w/Stampede, giving team ability to buy the D-League team. Jazz were interested in buying at start of season Twitter @JeffZillgitt[/QUOTE]
So they going to use the team now? They have many guys that could use it.
[QUOTE]The Houston Rockets could lose starting point guard Patrick Beverley to a wrist injury for the rest of the season, sources told Yahoo Sports. Yahoo! Sports [/QUOTE]
How will it affect his free agency? Looks like a good fit for the Jazz.
Looks like Hood and Hayward will be out against Portland.

All I can say is he better not be penciled in the rotation going into next year. He's a 3rd pg/D-leaguer until he proves otherwise. I'd guess if he's on the team next year they might not pick up his option for his 4th year and cut their losses. Bring in Neto and proven vets and make him actually earn something. Funny that he and the media were putting him in the Jazz's big 3 earlier in the year! :roll:
