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

I think the point was less to criticize Favors, and more to suggest that if Favors had been injured instead of Gobert, Rudy would have looked excellent in Favor's absence, as well.

I agree generally with the sentiment, but the nitpicky side of me wants to argue that Rubio has much better chemistry with Derrick, so it probably wouldn't have reflected quite as well. Still, I think it's a valid point, generally speaking.

Thank you. I'm not dogging on Favors, but he has enjoyed spacing (and better chemistry with Rubio) that Gobert has not. So I'm just kind of demanding everyone keep that **** in mind when evaluating Gobert.
 
On the flip side, Rubio/Favors/Gobert is a super stealthy, super effective stealth tank which is where this is headed unless DL/Quin pull their heads out of their asses.

I am willing to bet my house they are more aware of what is going on then anyone on this board and also that they have a better idea of cause and effect then we do. I also trust their judgment in how to proceed. But then I happen to be one who has a lot of trust in Quinn and DL.
 
I'd really love to see Gobert and Favors together when they're healthy with a good PG who can shoot.

Like George Hill pre-cameltoe

You're not one of the few, I've never seen more broad-scale trust in our coach or GM than with these two, and I am one of them.

However, to suggest that they (or anyone) never miscalculate or straight **** up is fantasy.
 
Funny that it's been mentioned several times that both Rubio and Mitchell have better chemistry with Favors than with Gobert. Kinda proves my earlier point about team chemistry with Gobert.

I'm not necessarily saying that Gobert is a bad player (except on offense). I'm saying that the Jazz are a better team without him. And you guys are proving my point when you say we need to get rid of half the team so that Gobert can be good again.

If we need to pick and choose the exact type of players to put around Gobert in order for him to be effective, then that's a problem. Can the right players help? Of course. But a "superstar" should be effective regardless.

What would your argument have been last year when Favors was a corpse?

You are absolutely correct. Who said they never miscalculate?

He was clearly playing hurt last year. And playing out of position. He is much better as a center. I'm also not arguing that favors is a superstar so I don't really know what you're even asking me.
