Conley definitely on my short list. Scores the ball, gets the assists, and doesn't turn it over.
Play Along - if we HAD to trade
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date

Oh, I'm sorry, Dala. Wish I could delete it for ya.
Look no further than Boston...
Nets '16 1st unprotected
Nets '17 pick swap
Mavs '16 1st top7 protected
Memphis '17 (10 prot), '18 - 12 prot , '19 - 8 prot, unprotected in '20, '21
C's '17
3 of these should be the Jazz goal. Don't think Ainge is stupid enough even though Favors bargain contract with 3 yrs left is very desirable for his goal to land free agents again.
All these teams are volatile and the 1st rounder have huge variance in value they can return.
ATL: Schröder + '17 pick swap, '18 top5 protected. Budenholzer doing a win now mode as president of bball operations? Probably not. He's from the Spurs...
DET: '16 pick swap, '17 unprotected
IND: Myles Turner + '17 unprotected
MIN: Rubio + '17 15-30 protected
NYK: Favors + Burke + '16 lottery protected for Melo

Ya'll have an addiction to trading and drafting players.
The goal of the game is to win. Not to make trades and draft. That's what you use to get the players that you want.
I don't understand this infatuation with wanting to trade a really good player just because he can get something nice back in return. If we didn't have Favors, then we'd want to trade a bunch of assets to get him.
Why not just trade everybody and say, wow cool look at all the draft picks we have. Huh? Wut?
We aren't rebuilding. This is the ascending stage. We already did the rebuild phase.
The only way you trade Favors is if you get someone who fits the time line of what you are doing. You don't trade him for an aging star. You don't trade him for a rookie. You don't trade him for draft picks. You don't trade him for a bunch of average players. You'd only trade him for a player like Andrew Wiggins. Someone with high star potential who has been in the league a minute. Even he is a little young. But at least you get some really high upside in return. There really isn't much else I trade him for right now. Except for maybe a swap for a young rising star like Leonard or Butler, but even then I'd hesitate and probably want more because you are giving up a bigger player

Team Titans GO!
Did u trip over your skirt and bump your head? Not one person, not one, said they wanted to trade Favors. We're discussing his value is all.
Now go ahead and write a bunch of long paragraphs rambling about how you think this post shouldn't root for the Utes.
