The realistic option is trading Al for another overpaid player expiring this year that is not as good as him and have the other team throw in a crappy pick or rookie contract player.

Playing well is priority #1 and nothing outside of that is really even close. If you're hoping someone else ****s up, then you don't deserve the break.

Exactly.
We already missed that chance with Kevin Martin, who's averaging 16pnts on 47/47/93.5.
I won't believe for one second we couldn't have had him for Al at some point in this saga.
(first update) Offseason to-do list:
(no order)
1. Let Mo, Foyeeee3, Al (s&t?), Watson, and Tinsley go.
2. Re-sign Carroll
3. Draft McCollum, Schroeder, and Giannis (leave the latter two in Europe for a year [maybe two years for Giannis]).
4. Sign Tony Allen
5. Try to keep Millsap. If that doesn't work, explore s&t options.
6. Remove Corbin. Hire Brad Stevens or SVG.
7. Sign Calderon to a one-year (2 max) deal, or see if the cash-strapped Lakers will let us absorb Nash's last year.
I don't think shooting percentages can transfer like that. They would be lower if he was on the Jazz.
But that's beside the point. You are correct, not having Al would be neat-O!
And, who knows, if we had made that swap at last year's trade deadline, maybe WE could have swapped Martin, Burks, GS pick, another pick for Harden.
Long Con is big shart.

favors has always had terrific defensive instincts and we can both agree that his offensive game is catching up to that but c'mon man.
he had a habit last year of getting himself into foul trouble too quickly by trying to block every shot. even early this season he was putting opposing players in "and-one" situations by trying to block the ball after a foul had been called on someone else and instead getting called for goal-tending. so i think we can probably agree there is still room for refinement in his defensive game too.
perhaps what you meant to say is that people can disagree but if they disagree with your view they are ignorant.
Those are the kind of mistakes that get corrected as the player plays more minutes.
if this is true you won't have to worry about corbin for much longer.
More like, if Favors is the player we think he is he will force TyCo's hand by the trade deadline.

Yeah, and they would have wanted Gordon, Burks, and our golden state pick along with him.

Sheesh, I mighta done it. A pick in the 20s + a guy rotting + Inconsistent Gordon.
It would have been hard for KOC to turn down if he got to keep Millsap, Favors, and Kanter. We can probably get Maynor in this deal, too.
Mo/Maynor/Tinsley
Harden/Foye
Marvin/Carroll
Millsap/Favors
Favors/kanter
Me Gusta... Whatever. The point was Long Con taint worked

This.
Its not possible to "force" a coaches hand...he is the coach he decides who plays no matter what the players do.
Maybe favors could "force" a trade, or influence the jazz management to fire corbin, but favors has no say in his playing time.
You're kidding, right?
