The Trade: Rudy Gobert, Miye Oni, and Elijah Hughes for Clint Capela and John Collins
Hawks angle: Rudy Gobert on your team instantly puts you AT LEAST at the #10 spot for defense in the league. For a team with Trae Young, that's great. I know Clint Capela is a good defender, but I'd have to be delusional to say he's even close to the level of Gobert.
Jazz angle: Their defensive personnel is really good, even without Gobert. Trading Gobert for Capela (straight up) would still leave Utah with a top-10 (maybe top-12) defense in the league. Adding an offensive star (Collins, of course) to the equation makes it much easier.
Signings: Mike Conley (Bird), Ersan Ilyasova (min.), Avery Bradley (MLE), Matthew Dellavedova (min.), Georges Niang (min.)
