Tony has said multiple times that Favors isn’t coming for less than the MLE. I read his most recent article, and he never discusses Favors taking the BLE, so that’s a pretty poorly referenced story.

The Clippers have no assets and an owner with deep pockets, there's no way someone outbids them for Trez

I don't love Denver, but its impossible not to respect their mental fortitude at this point. I wish our team had that kind of edge.

You realize that Hayward is also an expiring, right?

We also play a different style of defense (because of Rudy) that really requires our center to be an elite rim protector... so it makes more sense for us to go in on that concept more than it would make sense for other teams to do it

Makes sense... he's got back issues, and coming off the bench would probably extend his career.

You can always play the what if game, I just can't think of anything that the Jazz could've/would've realistically done to sign Bogey as a FA if they had Smart's salary on the books

Quin probably did his worst coaching job this season, but we've clearly been outmatched in talent in the pretty much every playoff series we've played with him as coach.... I think the majority of the board would probably agree that the blame goes on the front office.

We basically traded Favors for Bogey though, so you're not getting him in this scenario

I don't think this is a fair assumption. 5 years ago this would make sense, but it seems like the trust was set up in a way to keep the Jazz separate from their other businesses. They haven't taken any kind of profit since 2017, they might be set up well to weather this pandemic. Although, I...

Why do people think that Chicago wouldn't want Conley? They were one of the rumored teams after him last year, and there's multiple articles from their SB Nation-type reporters that think they should try and trade for him again. Philly makes the most sense by far tbh, but I'd be shocked if he...

I'm under the impression that the Jazz are willing to be a tax team, but it seems like there's a lot to sort out with the CBA still. It will be interesting to see what the league decides to do

What would be the most he could get in Free Agency from another team?

Who could we realistically get for Davis/Bradley/2nd Rounders?

Having Favors back would fix so many of our problems. He's by far the most impactful realistic free agent that we could sign for the MLE. I'm shocked that there are people who are against this
