I love Favors more than most here and I've defended him to death, but this makes no sense! WTF is going on? Why would you draft a center and then sign Favors to 3 year contract? This makes no sense! Is Azubuike going to play in the G-League for 3 years now? WTF just happened? The only thing that would make this even remotely reasonable is if we are preparing to trade or lose Rudy in FA? But then this FO would be even more stupid than if they just spent a 1st round pick on a player who won't see the floor for 3 years.

We’ve seen this movie before.

This makes sense if we don’t think Rudy is on the roster in a year or two. But even then I mean it’s rough.

mans I’m with you... it was overkill to give Favs the max... I’m cool with it because we are now better and Favs is the best dude... but that pick was nonsense before and now it’s clown ****... DL is reactionary and lazy. We need new management. We will win enough games to make the playoffs and we will be good so he will keep his job... which is what this move is about.

I just figured out a way to square this off-season up in mind so it makes at least a bit of sense. I am just going to pretend the draft never happened. We lost our picks somewhere along the way... lets say Adam Silver took them away for Rudy acting a fool in the early pandemic stages. If you ignore the draft... you can argue we got better... well.. maybe not as good as we could have, but better nonetheless.

For what it’s worth, trading Conley for OPJ puts us back under the tax.

The Chicago bulls are in the market for a veteran point guard also. May be something there. Then they can sign a pg on a deal similar to Mudiay or so. Gives us perimeter D in OPJ and wiggle room to sign a Mudiay Neto type player.

Or maybe Conley for OPJ and S&T Dunn or Shaq

Conley
Clarkson
Mitchell
O'Neale
Ingles
Bogdanovic
Favors
Gobert

A fair bit of talent there. No one new to integrate really; should be a fun team to watch. Unfortunately, still at least one piece away from contending.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that when your ENTIRE defensive philosophy hinges on one guy protecting the rim, dragging him away from the rim causes a cascade of foreseeable collapse.

Just remember that I’m on your side here. I’ve become basically a One Note Artist on this topic.

It’s too bad we can’t afford KDunn. I think him or Harrison would be a nice final piece. Adds some defense and athletic youth. Would make for a good balanced off season minus draft night embarrassment.

Maybe money will get spent and guys like this will be out in the cold like Mudiay last year.

So we get absolutely torched by a younger, more athletic team loaded with wings. So we go out and get an old PF/C. ****ing brilliant.

And what's next? We are going to overpay Rudy Gobert. ****ing great.

Don must be ecstatic....

Like the Jazz are a deep, veteran team that's one player away from truly contending.

But have burned every conceivable asset to acquire one.

 

[stitches]

Oh my... this market overpays wings like crazy.
