Trade Favors/ Keep Kanter

I completely agree but if we are using Corbin as the excuse for Favors then why does Kanter get so much hate?

Because Favors shows flashes of being a top defensive player, Kanter shows flashes of being able to play defense.

Kanter shows flashes of being a top offensive big man and Favors shows flashes of being able to play offense.

Edit: If only there were some way to take Kanters O and give it to Favors...
 
Are they a good combo? Right now, I would say no as they do not play well with others. Neither passes well or sees the court, and they both need to score from the low post mainly. I think they only succeed as a duo if Kanter steps out more AND develops a 3. If one had to go it should be Kanter. He just cannot play D.

13 ppg is more than a flash of being able to play offense.

Agree completely. We still have NO idea if Favors, Kanter or both are going to work for us. THIS was the season to find out, to light a fire under them defensively, to say to %^$& with offense, here is our defensive scheme and both of you need to concentrate on that. Instead, who knows what the Jazz are supposed to be doing on defense, Kanter has gotten inconsistent minutes, and we still don't know if they can play well together.

IMO, Jazz need 1) a new head coach; 2) an assistant devoted EXCLUSIVELY to defense; 3) a full-time bigs coach.
 
Why not just accept that we can have one player with exceptional defensive ability and one on the offensive end they should be able to compliment each other.

His minutes have fluctuated, sure. He's still in the top 100 in minutes played in the NBA, along with Hayward, Favors, Burke and Burks. At least this ******** about young player minutes has died down some on this site.

Perhaps poorly stated. He goes from being a starter, to being the scapegoat for a team that was devoid of PG's. He's also been blamed as the reason the Jazz have such dismal record without Favors.

If you look at his game logs, his mins average has climbed largely because of the last 30 days. Prior to the trade deadline, his PT bounced around quite a bit, getting high 20's and 30's one game, then in the mid teens the next. And that wasn't due to foul trouble.
 
To be honest, I don't get why myself and others are so high on Kanter. We talked trash about Al Jefferson the whole time he is here. And now we have the exact same type of player in Kanter, and we jump for joy. Strange IMO.

well to be honest Kanter is not anywhere close to Big Al's level yet. But we have a saying in our country - hope is mother of the idiot.

The major difference is that Big Al is established. Kanter still has a chance to become more.

Keep them both and see what an actual good coach can do with them. Remember when we had a good coach? Man, those were the days.
 
Kanter has improved offensively since his rookie year, but he still has major problems on defense. When Cole Aldrich torches you, you know you have problems on defense. Kanter just doesn't have the legnth to play center in the NBA. I think some of his defensive problems can be fixed with better coaching. But, he's not going to grow and his arms aren't going to get any longer. Favors still struggles defensively against long centers. Favors got torched when we played the Nets with Brook Lopez. It's a tough decision to trade either one of them, but whomever we draft may tip the Jazz hand of what their future plans are with our dynamic duo. This is why DL gets paid the big bucks.
 
What about Gobert paired with either Kanter or Favors? Is that a better combo? He could certainly cover some of Kanter's deficiencies on D.
