News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

Backup means “backup to your starters.” Not “backup to seeking other solutions first”.

Backup means backup. Third stringers and positionally-flexible role players without a pigeon-holed niche are also called backups. Basically, it’s a general term for any player who doesn’t start. Neto has been a good one.

Don’t tie yourself into stupid knots. Tia

I wish I was savvy enough with the search function on this site to go back and bump my posts about drafting Bogdanovic. Him + Conley would make one hell of an overhaul to our offense, for sure. I have no idea where our frontcourt depth would come from, though.

If the Jazz indeed are looking at Portis and Bogdanazonicvich that's gotta hurt Favors chances for sure. The only way I see him returning is if Justin and Dennis can't get a commitment.
When do we start the thanks Favors thread?

I like Neto, I think he does well in the minutes he plays.
A good starting 5 team with a bad bench still loses games.
We need good players on the bench too, and can just plug anyone in there.

Yeah I think keeping Favors is their last resort if they completely strike out on their targets. Not the worst thing in the world since they can move him at the deadline if need be.

The front office at least can see that Favors is replaceable. Now they need to take a look the Rxum.

Neto is pretty important with Conley and Exum's recent injury histories.

neto injury histories are just as bad lol

we can replace Favs by renouncing his deal. Exum's deal is fully guaranteed till 2021 which means we can only replace him by trading him

Hmmmm…..

bojan-portis-thaddeus young

in this order, i guess? so we're renouncing favs then...
