The Inevitable Favs Reunion

Hey guis, we should sign Jae Crowder who is playing out of his mind, for the coolest team in the NBA, where he bought a home before even playing for them, and where he fits like a glove.

Additionally, I know Jimmy Butler is a ****ing IDIOT and huge piece of ****, but if we were feeling charitable, do you think the team that he leads to the NBA finals from total mediocrity would let us do them a favor by accepting him on our team and see if he destroys it or not? I know the Heat bent heaven and earth to get him there despite having no cap space, but it just seems like it’s not working out for them.

You forgot to mention we are only offering the vet min or half of the MLE. That should be plenty for those kinds of scrubs. Don't want to overpay.
 
Miami is ****ing 10-1 in the playoffs and playing some of the most inspired basketball I’ve seen in years (2014 Spurs to be precise). The idea that they’re gonna let go of their absolute most important piece and a key addition that fits everything they’re trying to do is offensively stupid.
 
Jae was a fan favorite - you should never let those guys go. I felt the same way about DeMarre Carroll and Paul Millsap- who SURPRISE also put up much bigger stats after leaving. Are the Jazz really having this much trouble evaluating what they need from the 4 spot?

Yep. We have made so many stupid decisions. Kind of demoralizing when you consider how many completely moronic decisions we have made.

Sacrificing Jae for the stupid Conley deal is just added to the list.

Yes... we can offer cash... say 3-4 M. They will want to operate over the cap anyway so doesn’t cost them space. Gives them a free or quality vet at a minimum cost. Might require a second but that’s fine.

Just sucks for DL to have to go ask for the cash to do it. Would assume Favs takes less than the minimum too.

DL should ask for cash because he should be fired after the failed Conley, Ed Davis and Green experiment

Jae loved it here and wanted to stay and recruit others. Thanks for trading him DL, you stupid idiot.
 
Let's not overrate Jae Crowder, the year he is having in Miami could not have been predicted in any way by DL. Calling him an average player at the time would have been most generous. Also before traded to Miami, he played 45 games in Memphis and was abysmal. His career numbers are much closer to his Jazz days than the outlier Miami year.

Jazz 2018/19
FG: 39%
3PT: 33%

Miami 2019/20
FG: 48%
3PT: 44%

He is still better than Conley, Davis, Green and Exum

Defensively stupid, too ;)
 
If you can get Clarkson AND Favors for under $15 million then that is already a pretty decent offseason. Honestly. And with a first to draft or use in a trade, that could be alright.
 
Am I the only person who would rather have Meyers Leonard than Derrick Favors?

He's 7'1" vs 6'9" (Favors real height) and shoots 40% from 3P and 80% from the free throw line. I mean I'd take Aron Baynes out of the three, but having a big who can hit open 3 pointers and do some different things than Rudy has to be part of the equation right?

I believe Leonard is under contract.

ETA: NM I was confusing him with Olynyk.
 
Favors you know what you're getting. He fits. It won't be an Ed Davis or Jeff Green situation. Worst case is he is injury prone, but we have Tony Bradley who is good enough to be a backup in the regular season.
 
Tony has said multiple times that Favors isn’t coming for less than the MLE. I read his most recent article, and he never discusses Favors taking the BLE, so that’s a pretty poorly referenced story.

Well it would be insane to use even the MLE on him so let’s not.
