During the 18/19 season, Ricky Rubio averaged 12.7 points, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game for the Utah Jazz, although he is set to set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

The Jazz attempted to trade the Spaniard ahead of the February trade deadline, and Rubio himself recently told Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune that he could leave:

"I don't have any idea where I'm going to play next year. I'll look for the best situation for me to perform and to be happy"

Rubio earned nearly $15 million last season, and it is doubtful that the Jazz will offer him anywhere near that number. If he does leave, Utah are believed to want to add a young point guard to grow alongside Donovan Mitchell -- which gives further strength to the D'Angelo Russell rumors.
