You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

[NUMBERICA]

Our entire system is based around a good, defensive center. If we let Favors walk and Gobert gets injured, we are screwed.

When one of your most important players goes down, you're screwed. That's how it works.

 

[Jingled]

Keep Rubio and add Rivers and we have a recipe for about 55-60 wins, home court advantage and a trip to the Finals!

LMFAO

What does that mean; "He's meant too much to them."? He was good when the Jazz weren't, was injured when the Jazz were good, then got healthy enough to play 23 MPG, virtually never close games, and still not fit as a 4 (virtually unplayable there against the best teams).

LET. ****ING. GO.

But according to DL "Derrick Favors isn't part of the problem, he's part of the solution".

Bwahahahaha? So you're 12? Or a witch?

I’m much older, unfortunately. And, it’s called a boisterous laugh. Usually earned by a ridiculously funny assumption.

According to the flimsiest data, or ancient basketball philosophy?

Doesn't have to be.

If we lose out on free agents, we have to make up for that by having some of the best depth in the NBA. We need to keep Favors, add another great -$20 player or 2 $10 specialist types, hope we kill it on our draft pick, and rely on our youth getting much better (Donovan, Royce, Grayson, Dante).

Let’s put this another way.

We’ll be paying about 40M next year at the center position, very possibly the least important position in the league.

Brilliant.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Doesn't have to be.

If you're trying to build a contender, yeah, it kinda does.

The whole point is to dump your resources into high-end talent that can play together. The only scenario Favors fits into that is a completely unrealistic one: he signs for the MLE or less to play strictly as a backup.

It's probably how they are going to angle it when we get nothing. Instead of failing we retained Favors.

Roco is really ****ing good. They aren't trading him for a table scrap and a late first.

His trade value is equal to one year of jimmy butler minus Saric and change. Or do I’ve heard.

I mean he helps us... he doesn’t 18M help us... if there was no cap then please keep him... but since we needs that space and a solid backup can be had for like 20% of that number I’d say it means too much for us to keep him.

If the plan was to keep him long term the time to do that was last year. His contract was supposed to be a trade asset or turn into space to address other needs... it has yet to be an asset but maybe this is the year.
