Jazz Sacramento trade revisited

[Thee Jazz Fan]

It depends if we're sold on Favors or not. If He's our guy for the next 10+ years, then Gobert would only be coming off the bench anyway, so it would be better to have someone like Vonleh next to Favors.


But if we're not sold on Favors long term, then yeah Gobert could be that guy in crunch time.

Favors and Gobert can play together.

Pretty sure under Quin's system he wants at least 1 big who can shoot the 3 ball. (or long 2's ala Aldridge)


The Hawks last year all 5 guys can shoot the 3 ball.

Good lord!! They don't need to play the whole damned game together. It's called situational basketball!

Pretty sure he wants to play the lineups that help the team win the most. If that's a lineup where every player has a range of 2 feet, then so be it.

I think we have something very special in Gobert. I would be sad to see him go, and I would not have been in favor of this trade either then or now.

I didn't neg the original post, but I came out strongly against it, IIRC. I liked Vonleh and was advocating taking him over Gordon (when we thought Exum would be a top-4 pick). But like donuts said, we have something special in Gobert. And I think that was evident last season. Rudy showed flashes...enough to only trade him if a package brings back a young all-star.

It's funny how many fall in love with certain draft picks based solely on draft potential, yet we had a BIG already on the team who was full of potential and had already shown some significant progress.

I don't think that's the case at all. IF Favors can also play PF, then there is room for both, no matter who starts. 96 mins at the 4/5; that's 32 mins for 3 players.
