What's new

Gobert out for 4-6 weeks

Hey guys. Bad news, but not the end of the world. My prediction:

- We play/win about the same - better O, worse D

- Favors plays well, but not well enough to think about replacing Gobert

- Favors becomes a key piece in an asset acquiring trade where a wannabe contender sends us assets for a very solid big man on an expiring contract

- Bradley and Mitchell get some much needed playing time.

The Bucks (to be good) and the Lakers (to shed future salary)? Maybe the Mavericks and Nets (they need a center badly [but either don't care much for improvement or are abjectly lacking assets])?
Yeah but teams like the Mavs had little incentive to trade for Fav since they have enough cap room to sign him outright in UFA.

Teams who will trade for Favors: teams who like him and won't have enough cap space to sign him without birds rights or teams looking to push all in for playoffs who need a starting center.

Well we aren't making the playoffs... this was the stretch to come together and get wins... with us losing two very winnable games already... Gobert comes back after the December schedule has already eaten us up and then has to find a rythymn.

The only moral thing to do is tank the eff outta this B.

Jazz still making the playoffs

I wish I had your optimism. Looking at the December schedule it's likely Utah will be 5 or 10 games below .500 by the time Rudy gets back, and I think OKC and LAC, who are both currently behind Utah in the standings are better than their current records show.

Lac has lost 5 in a row. They are melting down worse than the Jazz.

Portland just lost to the Nets.

I'm not giving up yet.

So we make the playoffs as the 8th seed, and then what? We still don't have enough talent to compete going forward. You've gotta be blind not to see that we lack talent as a team with Hayward leaving.

Is the team going to tank just cuz I say so?

If Gobert was out for 3 months I'd be singing a different tune. The Jazz can hold down the fort and play 500 ball and make a push starting in January when they inevitability trade Favors for Mirotic.
