Favors/Crowder 2020 reunion thread

Favors and Crowder would be perfect bench pieces. Damn.

Realistically, the Jazz are going to have to start getting contributions from one of their diamonds-in-the-rough both because the money might not exist and that the Jazz don't control the fates of Favors or Crowder.

Just get them to write Player’s Tribune articles about “unfinished business.”
 
I miss Favors. I’d be all for bringing him back if he’s open to it. Full MLE should definitely be on the table next year.

Crowder is a little tougher. He’s a great guy, and I’m glad he got a run with the Jazz. . . but his shooting was an issue. It would depend on the cost.
 
See if Bradley plays again over Ed against Pistons tomorrow ..

Ed has given us zip ... at least Bradley is a bigger body and can finish around the rim ...

Not sure what Ed could fetch us ...

Yesterday Clipps got a lot of offensive rebounds, it was only hidden by excellent shooting , when shots aren’t going in we need to rebound ...

Favours , Baynes , ... I dunno who else is out there that’s a realistic option

2020 summer sign and trade for Favors centering around Ed Davis. Also we need the MLE for Royce.

1. We have Royce’s bird rights.
2. Why would NOP want a sign and trade “center[ed] around Ed Davis”?
 
I would absolutely love to have Favors back as long as he's ok with coming off the bench and strictly playing backup center minutes. He would easily be the best backup center in the league and would help our bench immensely. If we have to offer him a starting role to get him to come back then I'd rather sign a different backup center. He's not a power forward and having him and Rudy on the floor together just doesn't work offensively.

As for Crowder, I'm not sure I'd want him back. I loved the toughness and hustle he provided and it was great having an enforcer on the team. But he's just such an inefficient scorer and shoots such low percentages. I don't miss him chucking 3 after 3 and bricking most of them. I believe we're currently the second best 3 point shooting team in the league, we can expect that to drop significantly if we bring Crowder back and give him steady minutes. I also don't miss his straight line drives to the basket where he would usually fall down and miss the layup. I don't know, I think maybe his flaws outweigh his strengths.

I was going to make a post about this. But this covers better than I could say everything I feel about the 2 players. I was a Favors homer but if he comes back it's as a backup C emergency PF only.

I have little to no interest in Crowder back.
 
Playing strictly as a backup C here is prob something he would do when hes in his 30’s. By that point who knows what kind of player he will be.
