Hope this happens, Faves just does not fit with Rudy. That and I think he is already on the downward slide of his career.

The time is now for the Jazz. Rudy is in his prime and will be for maybe 5 years. Donovan is only a rookie but playing like a 5 year vet and is capable already of leading them like no one they have had since Stock/Malone. Just need to add the right pieces to maximize NOW. Hell no to uncertain draft picks that might be ready to contribute a lot in 4-5 years.

I disagree strongly with the idea that Favors is on the downside of his career. He’s 26 years old. He’s likely moving into his prime as well. It’s unfortunate that the Jazz haven’t been able to replicate the defensive magic that they displayed at the end of the 2014/15 season with Rudy and Derrick dominating. Would have loved to see what this team could’ve been if they could stay healthy together.

He is not what he was 2 years ago to my eyes, and has been easily injured. He is not the force down low he once was, he has lost some of explosion.

He hasn’t been healthy the past two seasons, but has been a lot more explosive this year. He may not have the same bounce that he did as a kid, but he still does plenty of things effectively.

Yes, he can still do some things and be reasonably effective, he still he is not what he once was, right? He is on the downhill slide.
 
I think Favors could play another 4-5 strong years if he would finally own up to the fact that he's a C and not a PF. If he was able to get on a team like the Cavs and play C with Love at PF, LeBron at SF, and IT at PG, he could be very, very successful.

I think this is partly true. If he ends up on a team like Boston or New York that has a guy like Horford/Porzingis as a stretchy 5, I think he fits as a strong 4. He just struggles with a guy like Rudy and both guys need space low to operate effectively.
 
I heard he is following Rubio and Mitchell on twitter as of today

it's has to been a done deal, i'd say greater than 90%

I'm hopeful as well but one thing I read in an article about that is we don't know when he added them to his twitter account. It could have been earlier in the season, but I agree that its definitely a good sign.

I’m fine with the deal if it happens, but I’m waiting to see what the terms of the trade are before getting excited. I’m curious to see what the Jazz actually have to give up to get him.
 
I hate to be the wet blanket but I don't know that anything is as solid as some of the reports make it sound. There have only been a couple specific things that have come out referencing different sources, but every article seems to regurgitate the same thing without adding sources.

Here's to hoping.
