Speaking of the move, Fromal wrote, “If George Hill walks this summer and the Utah Jazz are able to land Ricky Rubio in a trade, they’ll remain legitimate contenders for a top seed in the Western Conference. ”
After talking about what a Jazz starting lineup would look like – should they keep Gordon Hayward and Joe Ingles — Fromal continued, “And thanks to the passing chops of this trade’s centerpiece, he’d make everything flow. ”
(Fromal clearly nailed the trade from the Jazz side of things as they acquired Rubio in a deal on Friday. Even better for Jazz fans is the fact that they didn’t have to give up Hood and Exum to get him. That’s a win-win for the Jazz if you ask me.)
