Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green are arguably the two best defensive players in the league right now, so the combination of these two players will undoubtedly allow any team to build the top line of defense.
With the Jazz as a whole not particularly successful this season, if they don't make it to the playoffs, Rudy Gobert being put on the shelves seems likely to be the most likely scenario. And it's been said that if Gobert is put on the shelves this offseason, the Warriors will be interested in the former best defensive player.
Because of this, the US media James Pearsey proposed the following two transaction plans:
Scenario 1:
Jazz get: Andrew Wiggins, 2026 first-round pick
Warriors get: Rudy Gobert
Scenario two:
Jazz gets: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Cumminga
Warriors get: Rudy Gobert, Reus O'Neal
In these two trades, the Warriors can get a defensive tough guy like Rudy Gobert in the trade led by Wiggins, of course, the biggest difference between the two trades is that the Warriors sent the 2026 first-round pick or a young player like Jonathan Cuminga.
Jonathan Cumminga is arguably the most talented young player in the Warriors' team, which is believed to be the type of young player the Jazz hope to get, but to get two players like Wiggins and Cumminga, the Jazz also need to send Gobert and O'Neal two tough players.
Of course, it's unclear whether Gobert will be put on the shelves in the offseason, but as rumors have been said over the past, if Gobert is put on the shelves, the Warriors do have to seek to push the possibility of a deal.
