-Bobby PortisThere are many theorems we could have followed and ended up a whole lot better off. Len and Dedmon for the minimum... Jamychal Green for his $7M for a few years.
Just really rough.
And he's still just 29 years old.Favors is so criminally underrated. $70M is pennies for the services he provides.
Something like that.
This is the problem with the team. We fell in love with personalities over winning a title.
and the top record in the west only may the homers more blind.
Reality sunk in when we embarrassed ourselves in the playoffs.
Some people still think Royce is the answer, or some really good player. It's mind blowing. He's OKAY but hes a weakness and
very overrated by some. Ingles too. These guys should be end of the rotation guys not key pieces.
Nothing has changed on the Royce front at all. He was good in the playoffs… he’s worth every penny of his deal. I’m not sure we can get more from him in a trade but if we wanted a mid first round pick I think a few teams would line up to take him off our hands.I got lit up by this board for suggestion that Royce was overrated. Funny how times have changed.
The problem is that we needed 2 more guys like Royce and Joe instead of Favors and nothing else.This is the problem with the team. We fell in love with personalities over winning a title.

The “I don’t care about Ryan’s money” narrative is kinda naive. If he was spending 90M to keep a key cog then it makes sense… for our 8th man? I just don’t see it. These guys don’t make mega billions by not worrying about spend and being wasteful… a tax deduction is cool but trust me… they’d rather have the money.I can understand why you wouldn't believe Ryan Smith wants to spent $90M for two years of Favors...but I have zero care about Ryan Smith's money if he wants to spend it. A large tax will might be worth having a good team for him. He's going to save so much more on real taxes with his purchase of the Jazz.
WIth that said, if some team is willing to take on Favors for our first round pick...I have a very hard time believing Ryan Smith will choose Favs over the first round pick.
At least for me, I understand and expect Ryan to manage his money and offload Favors. It's also true that I won't be happy if/when we make deals that make the team worse, but only save him money and can't be spent elsewhere to make the team better.The “I don’t care about Ryan’s money” narrative is kinda naive.
