Conley Officially a Jazzman

[infection]

So what happens at the PF spot now? I'm excited as **** for Conley/Mitchell/Gobert core assuming the Jazz can find a stretch 4 of some sort on the market but I don't have my hopes up considering Conley is taking up the cap room if we keep Favors too.

By all accounts DL has sworn a blood oath that he will never let Favors go. So many people cool with this. I feel like I’m in an episode of the Twighlight Zone or in some alternate universe with how many people are totally cool with keeping Favors now that we’ve fixed one problem in the starting unit.

Am I ****ing crazy?

I have a new job that is a lot more attention consuming. Sadly, not much time for JFC'ing.

No more baking?

I think you are. Favors became more valuable now that you don't have a non-shooting PG.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Didn't you love when we traded for Rubio? Just saying

Yeah, I liked Ricky a ton. He was an upgrade and I thought that his shooting was improving. His first year he shot 35% from 3...if he had been able to keep that up, coulda been a different story.

Conley is on a whole other level in comparison though.

Cy is actually Grayson Allen confirmed!

He still can’t close games.

I'm 100% with you. Exum/Favors are limited players making too much for us to be contenders.

Ya those 3 weren't as good as AD is when New Jersey got them.

I mean, that remains to be seen. Theoretically, yes, but the Lakers need to inbound the ball first to be sure.

Why not? He's very valuable defensively and offensively he's great on the boards. With Ingles, Conley and Mitchell closing they absolutely could have Favors close. He can play more at 4 now that the PG can shoot.

I seem to remember him closing a game in Milwaukee that gave us one of the best wins of the season.

Fair enough and I agree about the massive upgrade

Apparently, the Jazz front office disagrees. They probably have more information, so lets see what happens. . .

A lot of stretch 4 options out there should we trade Favors.

Marcus Morris, Ariza, Millsap, JaMychael Green, Portis, Mrotic, Randle, Gay, Aminu. Probably forgetting some too.

The problem is Favors is also our backup 5.

I wonder if there’s anyway we can trade Bradley to free up space. Or maybe sign Sef to get over the cap. He can be one stretch 4 option.

Then use a partial MLE on Caruso and a partial on Green.

Is this far-fetched?

Conley-Caruso-Neto
Mitchell-Exum
Ingles-O’Neale
Favors-Green-Sef-Niang
Gobert

We’d have solid depth and still have Favors and Exum as assets.

Yeah, he closed that game because Rudy played like **** and Favs was beasting. That happens 1-2 times a year

Haha I was being a little tongue in cheek there (although who knows, if things break right and we end up in the finals against the Bucks that could be the difference in getting championship or not) , but I think there's the possibility that he will close more with the added spacing Conley brings. A Conley/Favors pick and roll has all the ingredients of being super ****ing nasty.

I don't think Favors is that limited. He's a tremendous defender, on 4's and 5's, he's an elite backup 5 and a good starting 4.

With Rubio, Favors, and Gobert, offense could be difficult. Conley alleviates a lot of that problem. Favors still isn't perfect, but limited? I don't think so.

Favors has said numerous times he wants to stay
He must be OK with whatever role and minutes he plays
Have to keep players like that

I dont really like Exum as our backup SG. He isnt a SG, he needs the ball in his hands to be effective. He cant really play off ball unless he suddenly learned to shoot well. I would rather have him as backup PG and find a solid SG. Although I guess Caruso is a pretty sharp shooter so maybe they could work together. I am not sure how effective he is off ball though. I havent watched him enough. But yes I like that lineup you have. I would also pickup Hood, Green (probably to expensive), Satoransky (maybe too spendy), Ellington, or maybe even Curry as well for that spot.

PF has a ton of good stretch 4 options this year. Some of them will go for cheap.

I also really want Mike Scott as our 3rd big for both positions.

I'm seriously salivating over Conley having space in a pick and roll with Favors. Could be the most lethal PnR combo we've had since Dwill/Boozer.
