Is Favors in the long-term plans at this point?

What a dumbass discussion. So we swallow Deng so that we have the option to pick up Randle, a worse option than Favors?

I think that the other player who has a legit chance of being traded is DeMarcus Cousins. I'd give them Favors/Hood since he's an expiring as well. Either of those guys, even for a half-season, would be worth the risk to me.

I'd not trade a loaf of bread for Cousins. I'd not trade Rubio for Cousins. I don't ever want that guy on the Jazz.

No thanks. Not even close.

Imo Ingram or Kuzma will need to be in play to move Deng and his contract. Wtf wants Randle...

Or like 2 or 3 unprotected picks... and Nance, hart, instead of Randle.
 
Taking on that much dead salary beyond 2019 is out of the question. You only do that if you're tanking, and I still don't like it because I don't give a **** about Randle.

Who ever wrote that either thinks the Jazz FO is full of moran's or is such a complete and total homer he has no idea of the value of their trash.

Dude it’s lakers fans... they are stupid dumb.

He put this up like hey no one will take Deng but what if we give them Randle too... I’m a genius.
 
Does anyone think Favors and Hood would be enough to get George Hill and a pick swap from the Kings?

Favors alone is too much. Hill is grossly overpaid. If we had Hayward, getting Hill would make sense. We would be outside contenders. However, we need long term solutions instead of a bad deal to get us the 6th or 7th seed.

According to Tony Jones, Milwaukee has definite interest in Favors. I wonder if a swap could be done that would lead to Khris Middleton coming to the Jazz, and if so, what would that take? Jabari is obviously the really alluring option there, but what are people's thoughts on potentially running Middleton as a 4? He's 6'8 with a 6'11 wingspan. I have no idea how he would fare defensively in that role, so perhaps it's a non-starter if that would be a liability. At the same time... Gobert.

I've heard repeatedly that -- while perimeter shooting is needed -- what Quin is really after is a playmaking 4. I think Middleton could fit into that role offensively (plus he's a great 3 point shooter).

Ultimately, I don't know all that much about his game, so this is pretty reachy speculation, but I'm curious about others' thoughts. Swinging a trade for Jabari seems unlikely, but working something out for Middleton seems a little more feasible.

Edit: *I don't think Milwaukee would go Favors for Middleton straight up, pretty sure it would take more. I don't think they would close the discussion before looking at what else could be worked in, though.
