Dante has been out forever because he ded

[Handlogten's Heros]

No need to do anything with Favors unless we opt out and he re-ups for like 3/39.

If we can move Exum (trade a 2nd too) and I know that’s a big if at this point, and renounce Rubio, and sign Satoransky and Ross, or another bench scorer, would be significant upgrades at this point tonour roster.

So say we can't move Exum and we opt out of Favors to sign those guys... how much better are we at that point?

If we decide not to guarantee Favs contract he has a caphold until we waive it... we could sign him into space, but you'd need a commitment first... say we don't pick it up and Dallas comes with a 3/45... he walks.

Just saying Dante now costs us something going forward. The sunk costs were bad enough... add this cost to the pile of assets we will throw at the Dante Experiment.

I don’t think Favors walks necessarily. We overpaid him this season and he’s shown loyalty to Utah even if we’ve dangled him in trades time and time again.

And to answer your original question HH, because the Suns might strike out in FA and might are upside in him. With just two years left on his deal, they may see it as worth the minimal risk it entails.

So we can move Dante to clear some space to sign a free agent this offseason after all the free agent's have signed. The timing on the deal makes it tough to go out there with free agent dollars we can use July 1... a deal like that could happen July 10... but at that point it doesn't help... may as well hold at that point and see if he can stay on the court for a month and increase his trade value.

He's been loyal, but you said it... we overpaid for one year... he's been loyal to us in part because we paid him more than he was going to find on the open market. Not saying you are wrong, but Favs on a 3/39 shaves like $4M maybe off the cap... maybe gets us to $18ish M in space... not enough to get something great (like we keep hearing... powder dry... yada yada).

There’s always value out there late. That said, the Suns (Igor) may just love him and again see the potential upside.

All it takes is one team.

Korver makes too damn much for what he brings. Wish we had him at like 3-4M per.

Igor has a ton of pull there... that's why they drafted his guy Doncic... oh wait.

The timing of FA mean this Dante thing will limit us in some capacity. Honestly our best option might be moving Dante with Favs (guarantee his contract) and move him for Love... we'd likely retain Ricky at that point... operate over the cap and it would give us the full MLE to work with.

**** Love. No ****ing way.

I'm not a fan... I just wonder if DL viewed this summer as the all in summer... now his options are limited... tough to run it back and just switch out Ricky for a $14-15M addition and declare a big victory.

Maybe one of the big FA commits to us and we can decline Favs and still come out okay...

Sounds like he's out until training camp. "The treatment of partial patellar tendon tear is immobilization in full knee extension for 3 to 6 weeks in a cylinder cast. For partial patellar tendon tear maintenance of patellar height, cast or brace immobilization in full extension for 6 weeks followed by a therapy program to regain motion and strength may be appropriate. Progress must be slow to allow for tendon-to-bone healing. Strengthening exercises should be delayed for at least 3 months. You should go for the conservative treatment as surgical repair is done for complete ruptures. "

What sucks it is his right knee not the left where they took graft from patella tendon to repair ACL. Now in case he has ACL tear in right knee they will not use that tendon for graft with history like that.

This. In spades. How do people keep acting like this is a thing? Moving any assets for love would be the biggest mistake we could make. Might as well sell the franchise at that point.
