Would you trade Favors for Love?

I would not.
Tempting though.

Love would be a better fit next Gobert and provide spacing to allow Burks and Exum to attack the rim.

But then when I factor in contracts (salary) and attitude (favors really likes it here and never complains) and defense, I have to stick with favors.

Favors and Gobert on the floor at the same time is a formidable problem for every other team in the league
 
No. Not really close for me... but I've never been a big supporter of Kevin Love.

Especially Cleveland version of Kevin
 
Not even Minnesota-era Kevin Love. The closest thing the league has seen to Boozer since Boozer.

I'm not saying he's not good. Just that what he gives up defensively (and the subsequent lineup headaches) almost makes his other contributions a wash.
 
The Gobert favs pairing on offense is actually really good. Not a fan of Love... He has really stupid hair and is kind of a loner... I think he's kind of a ***** too

Minnesota era love was way way better than boozer. He was putting up historical numbers
 
Favors is developing into a franchise player with a solid two way game. The only thing he really lacks is 3 point shooting. But he can still shoot the long two well to give some spacing. Would never trade him.

Favs is the best backup 5 in the league. And a pretty good PF, too.;)
Would not trade him for Love. Better move is to just let Favs/Gobzilla dominate defensively and bring in a 3PT shooting PG. Then Utah has a PG and Hood to space the floor, with Gordon hitting his step-backs, Favs working the P&R's and Gobert cleaning up the misses and getting lobs.
 
Lol at Jazz fans. A week ago, half of yous guys were thinking Lyles was making Favors expendable, and considering trading him away. Nice to see you've all come to your senses. The defensive identity of this team is being vastly underated by fans this year due to multiple injuries, IMO. A healthy Rudy\Faves underneath is as good as it gets, but if you add Exum's length and quickness on the perimeter, you wouldn't have these games where we're getting lit up by the Damien's and Kemba's of the league.

It seems to me a lot of fans have all but written off our play in the second half last season as a fluke, and I think that's a mistake. If everyone was healthy, I still believe we'd be the 4th best team in the west this year, and playing for HC advantage in the playoffs. I admit that I am concerned about how well Dante will recover from his injury, since defense is more likely to diminish after such, but no way in hell would I consider trading away the key pieces to what will likely be the league best defense if we can get past these injuries.

The potential of this team is special, and right now as frustrating as it has been with the injuries, I think it's important not to lose focus on where this team is headed.

On bad teams. With decent rosters and coaching. Boozer at least was a cornerstone of a very, very good team year in and year out. Also, keep in mind what happened when he was replaced by Al Jefferson.
