Conley Officially a Jazzman

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

I dunno... the thought of Snyder running Lyles through 3-hour practices just because kinda makes me feel the hot cotton inside.

Exum for Love. Trading glass for glass. A glass convention.

Good on paper, but anyone who makes that trade doesn't know their glass from a hole in the ground.

Look it up, and get back to me.

Well, he only missed one game this year and we lost, but that was the last game and nobody was playing, so I wouldn't count this year. I think the Houston game and the Milwaukee game stick out in people's minds.

Last year, we were 40-16 with him and 11-15 without him (0.714 vs. 0.423).
He played every game the year before that.
In 2015-2016 we were 31-31 with him 7-13 without him (0.500 vs. 0.350).

This idea that we need Gobert insurance is somewhat overblown. If he goes down with an injury, we're ****ed whether we have a "good" replacement option or not.

tl;dr We need to be looking at raising our ceiling rather than raising our floor.

Favors cant guard for **** on the perimeter either ...

Except he can. He does better guarding perimeter players than Gobert.

Udoh was a nice backup in those sort of regards, but Favors could actually score. It would be hard replace. I've come to see more of this side of the argument. I just wish Faves could naildown that corner 3.

It's a weakness. But his pick-n-roll prowess with Ingles (and potentially Conley) mitigates some of that weakness. The game has changed, but it continues to reward players that can pick/slash/attack the rim. Favors' still brings that.

I wasn't comparing him to Gobert dumbass. Read better

Right, you were comparing him to Love, when Gobert is better than Love on the perimeter, and Favors is better than Gobert.

Thanks for the advice on reading.

I think we all understand his value. We have gobert though so appropriately we would rather move on from favors. Its best for him and us.

That was in reply to a conversation about whether or not Favors is worth his contract to other teams though.

Gobert is NOT better than love on the perimeter LOL. That's just being a complete homer

There's a rumor from Steve Kyler that Cleveland may move JR Smith and #26 to Miami for #13.

Hmmmm yeah, Love looks pretty bad on the perimeter. LOL. Let's see Gobert guard anyone on the perimeter
