Favors isn't yielding a lottery pick in a trade, and Burks has negative trade value.

We need to trade Favors to dump Burks. I would trade them both for a 2nd rounder and expirings right now.

favors is playing well the past few games. It's quite a difference when your shooters make their shiots and the paint isnt jammed with 5 players.

He is playing well because he is playing center. That changes when Gobert comes back and the lane gets clogged again.

We should keep Favors until December 15 then trade him when all the summer signings/acquisitions become eligible for trade. Favors should not stay with us long term for his sake or our sake.

The tank is just temporarily in the shop for a tune-up.

The Jazz will be 9 or 10 games under by New Years.

I agree with this but i think unless we actively make the team worse through trades we will end up somewhere between 10-14. Moving Thabo Favs... maybe Hood (though his last few games have been pretty fricking good). I just don’t think we are bad enough to get in the 7 range which is where we need to be to have a decent shot at getting lucky.

This is a stuck in the middle year... but DM is making me so much more hopeful about our future than I should be.

Just gonna have to get lucky in the late lotto. Tough place to be.

More than likely this. And that is the worst place to be...smh.

Come on FO. Go all out one way or the other. Sitting still is a mistake IMO.

The only thing with our situation is I could see us coming out of it next year. DM gets better... healthy Exum... If we hit on the pick we are in business.

I think we have fixed the offense... When Rudy comes back I think we have to play a stretch four with him. I think our record will be worse than the team actually is.

The other issue is that we really don't have cap space next year unless we move AB or Ricky and waive some of the unguaranteed guys (that are all on good contracts). So a big FA isn't solving this.

Again - I would move win now pieces for not great contracts that go for 2 years and get more 1sts for our efforts. Plan for FA in 2019. They guys I'd use to do it are:

Favs, Thabo, Joe Jesus, and maybe Udoh. Outside of Favs the others can't be moved yet (JJ because of health).

I'd consider trading Hood too, but his recent play is really encouraging.

I think I'd be fine in the middle if I knew we had a couple shots in this draft at hitting on a 1st round pick.
