A Big Move on the Horizon?

They won a championship with him. I'd say he fits pretty good.

What are they getting back for Love that is better than him?

They won BEFORE KD signed with Golden State. Now it's not close at all anymore. I'd say Cavs would benefit from Favors rim protection.

Actually, Favs and JJ for Love makes perfect sense. Jazz give up both because they are expiring. Cleveland wants that in case Lebron leaves next year. Cavs get an interior presence AND JJ gives them the outside shooting they trade in Love, who Lebron has been disappointed with at times. Utah gets a shooter who still has years left on his contract.

Welp.

Contract for Diaw would be guaranteed if not waived by 7/15. Utah would have $11M in room and $4.3M room ML for Thabo, Udoh and Jerebko.

Edit: Anyone else noticed now all the names ended with 'O'? Thabo, Udoh, Jarebko?


The 'O' team?????

How many years does k love have left on his contract? Its interesting that all these signings are 2 year deals. There has to be a reason that DL wants all that money opening up in 2 years.

Klay.

I just published “Jazz sign Ekpe Udoh”

$22,642,350 for 2017/2018

Perfect match for Favs and JJ.

Favors is a serious downgrade from Love. Let's be real. He'd be a slight upgrade defensively maybe. But it would be a huge hit to their spacing and overall offense. Favors doesn't help them beat Golden St. Who is he taking away defensively? Zaza?

That's not the way rim protection works. Like Gobert does, any rim protector stops the other team (every player) going to the rim. It makes it in turn easier to gamble on steals. Favors can provide them some of that.

Then they get Joe Johnson clutch abilities and shooting too. Very useful for a contender.

Favors + Johnson would probably bring more to a contender like Cavs than Kevin Love does.

Edit : I mean Favors if healthy, because that's the big question mark.

Lol. It's the same damn thing he tweeted before! Try clicking on the links.

And if you would read it, it's barely a paragraph with no feelings/opinion on how he fits in the Jazz.

I would consider that barely talking about it.

I think they would also want to dump Shumpert in the deal... still say it would be a three team deal with NY.

I think Favs and Thompson are somewhat redundant. JJ would be big for them.

Adding shumpert without dumping AB becomes a problem if we extend Hood and Exum... though Udoh Jerebko and sefolosha are small enough deals to move if needed and not sure if they are fully guaranteed. I suspect they are.
