If there’s one thing all Utah Jazz fans can agree on, it’s that Ricky Rubio is a solid guy, and one with the heart of a champion on the hardwood. On the flip side, the Jazzland majority is likely also in agreement that the team needs a better fit at the point next season.
Unfortunately, actually getting an upgrade in the backcourt isn’t something you can just will into being. And, ultimately, a high-level point guard may not be in the cards for the team this summer.
Sorry to be the wet blanket, but despite the fact that Kemba Walker, D’Angelo Russell and Malcom Brogdon will all hit the open market in July, while Mike Conley and Jrue Holiday have the look of legitimate trade targets, the Jazz front office will be fighting uphill battles on all fronts.
