Also its silly people think its a problem that Favors is playing well with Gobert out and a good player. If he is a good player you dont trade him unless you think you will loose him or you get a better player in return. I doubt we can get a better player. I dont know about him staying, our staff should have an idea. Favors sounds like a guys who wants to be here and stay though and has proven that over time.
Good players can find a way to fit together, especially with a good coach. If you had Shaq and Malone you wouldnt trade one because one couldnt shoot threes or we were struggling to figure things out a few games into a new season.
Our offense is going to improve. Snyder is going to figure out how to play these guys together better. They have played very well together in the past even when we had a PG that couldnt shoot well from 3. They can do it again or Snyder can stagger them a bit more than he has and ride the hot hand.
Honestly I think when Gobert comes back if the team is playing well Snyder should make Gobert try to fit in better than everyone trying to fit around him. Maybe even make Gobert come off the bench for awhile to make him play harder and find his role better on this team. Or even start your best guys but quickly bring in a lineup of Mitchell, Hood, Ingles, Sef and Gobert then let Rubio and Favor's come in and wreck benches. Then you can play the hot hands in the 4th and exploit matchups.
Right now our offense is trying to learn to walk. They will get that down and Snyder will let them run more. Right now he isnt exploiting mismatches and letting players improvise and do as much. He wants them to do the basics first and then we can do the other stuff. That is what he keeps preaching. The players seem to have bought in and feel the same.
