Favs plays PF full-time. Wasn't it a couple of seasons ago with the Gobert, Favs, Exum lineup that Utah finished so strong over the last 25 or so games?
Not saying that happens. I still think Favs will be traded.
Knicks just don't get enough for Melo here. They definitely can get more.
I dont have anything against keeping Favors. I would like to keep him and see what he can do now that he is, hopefully, healthy. I just see a huge minutes crunch now at the PF/C spot if he stays. Is he going to be happy if he is only getting 24 mpg while healthy in his contract year?
I have to to think w/ how great JJ is for our offense, he gets at least 20 mpg. I'd also think they'd want to give Jonas at least 10 to keep him engaged (plus extra on the days when JJ has to rest cuz of age). Udoh is probably going to get all the backup center minutes.

Why would we give up a 2018 pick when the rest of our team are not anywhere near ready to contend????
I don't think they really want much for Melo, but I also dont think they want to take back salary for more than a year too. I dont think they would want Shump w/ 2 years left on his deal.

I like this off-season signings a lot so far given the circumstances, i.e. Hayward wasting all the time until all best FAs are gone.
DM, Udoh, Jerebko.. Solid additions at great prices.
Not sure why we signed Thabo tho. Besides his contract is bigger than Jerebko and Udoh's.

I think if you get Love you have to be ready to give up a first round pick.
Rubio
Hood
Ingles
Love
Gobert
+ a lot of bench depth would challenge for a top 4 seed and possibly 60 wins.
Uhh, we had 1 player capable of presenting any kind of coverage on the elite SF's on the entire roster (Ingles). If you didnt notice, the West just added Jimmy Butler and Paul George, while already having dudes like KD and Kawhi. We need Sefolosha way more than Jerebeko or Udoh IMO.

Houston doesn't have a 2018 1st and HAVE to trade Anderson to make room for Melo. I don't see anything that NY wants from Houston and don't see anybody else giving up an asset to take Anderson's contract.
So in other words, tons of savings and a 2018 pick is better than anything Houston can provide.
Yes, Sefolosha was #5 in defensive RPM last year (Gobert was #3) so he should bring great defensive value. Don't underestimate him guys.

So if NY didn't want Shumpert, they can get Taveres and Frye instead:

Cleveland would probably give up another pick in the future if they got to get Favors, Melo while keeping Shumpert. The Cavs would be stacked....
