Conley Officially a Jazzman

The way I view the Favors as Gobert insurance is kind of like how I would view a job that gives you a short-term disability benefit of 20% of your salary. You'd be afraid to go out and find another job that pays you 35% more but doesn't have a disability policy because "you may need that disability policy." If you need that policy, you're screwed regardless, because 20% ain't paying your bills. You may as well go out and earn more money rather than staying put "just in case" you need short term disability.

Nope

How do you know? Tony Jones reported it's a possibility we are looking at. It makes sense if there is a good player available that could provide more shooting

So here is something I discovered... we are a little bit short cap space wise of doing this trade if you assume that Neto and Favs both end up being guaranteed. It isn't a huge amount about $400-500k... so one of them is getting waived or we are sending out Tony Bradley or some other piece.

Maybe we aren't going to keep Favs... Maybe he is traded and we needed the appearance that we could keep Favs if we wanted... or maybe Neto is out.

Not a bad thing IMO.

Normally I'm with you, but it's more like we have a good disability policy... like it covers 80% of your salary, but the premium is like 50% of your current salary. So you may end up injured and grateful you have it but more likely you have it sit there and drain your current bank account.

That's the dumbest thing I have ever seen.
All my favorite players in the NBA are POC

This type of **** always comes from the whitest looking mother****ers. Like they are embarrassed by their whiteness or something and lash out at people or communities they perceive as "whiter" than them. Or how it looks to me anyway.

See my post above about our record without Rudy.

Trading Exum and Favors for Love shaves a couple million off the books.

Shut up man... I have like 3 black friends... 3!

I really don't get the fascination for love. That's a poison pill. Bad contact, player on a strong downhill trajectory. But hey, 5 years ago he scored and rebounded so, you know, he must be awesome!

And there are a **** ton of players that can play the 4 and provide spacing that are way cheaper, younger, and healthier.

Fine so it's a policy that covers 50% of our salary but also costs 50% of our current salary. Favs is better than the backup we'd find... but if Rudy is out we screwed anyway... so I'm with that.

It just makes so much more sense to reconfigure.

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.

Great post
