To add, even with Favors and Gobert on the floor together, Jazz are still a positive unit and soul-crushing defensively.

Yeah, which is why I think they could do a Conley deal and keep Favors. Keep the strong 2nd unit center lineups and improve the shooting enough with the starters to make the lineup better.

Why would the Pelicans take on a bad deal like Gordon's AND trade their mega star....?

Gordon has showed enough flashes of being who he was in Utah for a team to have hope in him rebounding. If your goal is to retool and still be a competitive team and not tank, getting Brown/Hayward/picks is a good deal.

I haven't tried to make a deal work, but does it work? Like... can we get enough outgoing money? What would that trade look like?

Rubio, Exum, Sefolosha +picks?

I did a deal that got us both Conley and Otto earlier this week that I thought was promising but it required putting in pretty much every big contract we have(including Favors)
 
And keep in mind, there really isnt a huge difference in Utah getting a player who cost 20-ish million and a player in the upper 20's/low 30's. They are going to be over the cap and not able to sign anything outside the MLE regardless.

I'd keep AD at that point and try to make it work if Celts weren't throwing in Tatum.

How do you figure? If Jazz signed a $20 mil per they could still potentially have another $20 mil in space.

Yeah, it would have to be a 3 team deal where you send Rubio somewhere else.

Well lets do it then...

UTA trades 2 1st round picks, Dante Exum, Derrick Favors, Thabo Sefolosha, Ricky Rubio
UTA gets Mike Conley, Otto Porter

MEM trades Marc Gasol, Mike Conley
MEM gets 2 1st round picks from the Jazz(put whatever protection would make sense), Ian Mahinmi, Derrick Favors, Dante Exum

WAS trades Otto Porter, Ian Mahinmi
WAS gets Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Thabo Sefolosha

I continue to believe that this is a very workable starting poing for a trade.
