2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

Exactly and we had a megathread for him... he's equal to or greater than last year's obtainability. I think you are gun shy... I need you to remind me why he is the answer.

The Niko thread followed by creating game threads killed my work productivity for 3 months.

Favs becomes exclusively a backup center. Niko or Crowder start. Favs would go down to 14-16 minutes per game if everyone is healthy. Crowder drops from 27.5 where he currently is to 23 ish and Niko picks up the 23-24 minutes per game. Rudy likely drops a few minutes a night, but for Crowder and Niko I think those minutes are fine.

Favs has to sacrifice his starting status and 1/3 of his minutes... he would likely be salty about it and rightfully so... I think it would hurt our locker room a bit. Maybe not

Read my post above. There is no reason Crowder, Ingles and Rudy should all be playing 30+ minutes per night. And we don't need Niang at all. I think Favors might give up a couple minutes, but he shouldn't fall too much below 20mpg. And considering how we need to rest Rudy, there are games when Favors can play 30 minutes.
 
Niko has a calf strain right now... so you could probably bring him in slowly with Niang like minutes.

BTW guys... did you see Niang was really good the other night... and he did it when it mattered... I have pulled all my real estate on Niang Island off the market.

Yeah I don't think Favs would go for that at all. The only way I would acquire Niko is if Favors is involved in the deal or another deal and no longer on the team.

I agree... I posted at the same time... tough to get guys to buy into that thought though.

Honestly though... I don't think we need to go get Niko... I think he can be had for a fair offer this offseason... if they are giving him up for peanuts I'm in.

Depends on what role Favors wants to play. If he is okay playing 15 mpg as our back up C while getting some minutes at PF, then fine. If he's not happy, then he has to be part of the deal.

If we kept Favors while getting Niko, we become one of the deepest teams in the league.

If that is the case I think Favs helps us more than Niko this year and would opt for continuity. Niko's been in/out last couple months... wait for the offseason.

So you put it on the market when it’s value bottoms out, but keep it when it’s high?

To get him in the offseason, we have to let Favors go. If Mirotic doesn't fit that well, we could be screwed by a long term deal. I think it is very important to get Mirotic to see how he fits in the locker room and on the court. If he doesn't fit, we dodge a major financial bullet by test driving him first.

Rudy's only 26 years old...he should absolutely be playing 30+ minutes a night.
