I want Roko so badly. I love his game and think he would be a great fit on this team. I honestly think we trade out of the first round and into the second round, but some of these guys could possibly still be on the board early in the 2nd.
To trade back? To trade out just to get off Fav’s contract?This pick is getting traded
I don’t think fav has to rehab his rep. He had an okay season… playoffs is a different animal but not every team is a playoff team. He can help a team but just paid above the normal big market. Problem with waiting is you might get a better trade package but salary relief is likely not available at that point.To trade back? To trade out just to get off Fav’s contract?
If Fav were to get bought out at the deadline, would his salary still count against the cap? If not, why not just buy him out then? Then we’re not giving up a first round pick, and wouldn’t the buyout price be cheaper even than the tax check we sign just this year, assuming Conley is back at around his expected salary? I’d much rather pay Fav than cut a check to the NBA.
That also gives us a bit of time to rehab his reputation and try to move him at the deadline for a second round pick rather than giving up a first.

Charlotte is a team notorious for overpaying average big men with little success. I think Favors would be a great get for them. Less than $10 million for a big they know can count on to contribute. It's unlikely Charlotte would attract a player like Favors or better without a big overpay.Favs looked good against Memphis. All of our guys looked pretty soft trying to guard the Clippers (except Rudy).

I agree.A bunch of teams could use Favors -- Lakers, Knicks, ... Kings might lose Richaun Holmes.
I agree.
The Lakers are difficult to match in terms of salary unless for some reason they want Favors for Kuzma in some package.
Would anybody consider Favors for Knox a win? Saves us $4 million this year and gives us some youth?

You wouldn't do Favors for Knox straight up?I wouldn't look at Knox. Marvin Bagley works salary-wise, though the Kings would want a pick probably.
