Well, if this somehow goes through, I guess we'll get to exchange our anxieties about shooting/scoring for anxieties about rebounding. Rudy's great, of course, but our presumable starting lineup's guards are average at best (probably a little lower), and our forwards are decidedly poor.
Jazz are emerging as serious threats to sign Bojan Bogdanovic

Keeping Favors, no. Getting a full MLE (almost $10), yes.
It's complicated, but possible.
Favors Mem $, Indy $ to Sacramento
Rubio, a Sac 2nd, Mem $ to Indy
Bojan, Conley, Sac $ to Utah
KK, Grayson, Crowder, Utah picks, Indy $, Sac $ to Mem
Every team must get something from every other team in a multi team trade. The $ would represent the absolute least $ needed. So Sac gets Favors for a 2nd (wow) and Indy gets a 2nd for Bojan (better than nothing).

God, thanks for reminding me in the off-season Bolers commentary still exists.

We need this as it seems like the Lakers will be adding Kawhi and the Rockets will be adding Butler.

I’m with you.
I’m not sure why people are talking about these trades with the pacers and Rubio... Yeah I just... can’t.

Only reason I could think of is Bojan goes to them and says "hey I'm going to Utah" and Indy works out a last minute deal. Cavs got some 1st rounders from the Heat in 2010 when LeBron left for example.
But even then that's a stretch, I don't see why they do the S&T for Rubio either. Maybe there's some cap gymnastics they can do where they could in a perfect world for them pick up Tobias Harris for the max and then S&T Bojan for Rubio to get both of their guys while being over the cap but I would think Bojan's cap hold gets in the way of their max room?

Or we offer him something like 21-22M (not sure how much we have before opting out of Favors) and the Pacers don’t want to go that high.

If this happens. It's a bit terrifying that Gobert is the only player on the Jazz who averaged more than 4.1 rebounds per game last season.

Would we have taken a 2nd rounder for Hayward over losing him for nothing? I would have.
In this messed up highly unlikely 4 team trade, Indy gets something for Bojan rather than nothing.

We won't miss any shots so we won't need offensive rebounds.

Looking up these figures on the go from my phone on crawling internet is difficult, so apologies for being sloppy on my figures with everything for the last few weeks, but:
Pretty sure they’d have to renounce Bogdanovic’s caphold to make any serious moves, which would make the Jazz very competitive and possibly even at an advantage depending on how things shake out.
I don’t know how feasible the double S&T thing is because of that.

Jazz basically have nothing before opting out of Favors as far as I know because the Jazz are using leftover cap space pre-waived Favors to absorb Conley's deal without giving up extra pieces. If the Jazz used that capspace to grab Bojan then you'd still have to waive Favors + throw in Exum into the Conley deal too to make it work (I think).
I think 18 mil and a longer term deal is more than competitive vs a shrewd Indiana ownership who don't really like giving guys big long term contracts unless they're star players.

Make it happen , He will be huge for us. I think the jazz were willing to give Miroshi* 3yr/45ish, which would be like setting money on fire spending it on that turd.
This will most likely mean Favs is gone but after getting Bojan does this mean we are done signing people ?
Can't see us having much more money unless we waive the rest of our roster

Dear god, I come before thee with a humble heart. I thank thee for this great jazz team thou has given us. Thou has brought forth great miracles, in bringing forth Gobert then Mitchell. Thou has opened up the heavens and delivered Conley who will add 3 point shooting and lighten the load on Mitchell. At this time I come before thee on bended knees that thou will deliver Bogdanovic that thou might deliver up a championship unto us. At this time I’ve been pretty damn good, I’ve been respectful and haven’t called anyone an idiot in months. As an offering we give thee the mighty Derrick Favors, a loyal serving member of the jazz, will be a loyal servant for thee. AMEN.

We would have the Room MLE ($4.7ish) and minimum deals OR over the cap MLE ($9.5ish) depending on if we can make it a sign and trade.
More than likely, we will have the Room MLE and minimums.

Based on an Indy article I read, I don’t think so. It sounds like they can just sign Rubio.

I have a weird feeling Rubio might go and play overseas ...
