derrick favors trade speculation

I might trade Derrick Favors for a top-3 or maybe top-4 pick in this next draft, depending on how that draft shapes up. I wouldn't give him away for anything less than an All Star-caliber talent.
 
you only trade favors for a top 3 pick or an allstar caliber player. Since Boston doesn't have an allstar players we would have to wait and see what draft choice they get. If Boston gets the number one or two pick in the draft they wont trade for Favors. I am not sure the Jazz would trade Favors for any pick given that ownership has simply gushed about the guy. I say this trade rumor was simply a guy talking without knowing how much the Jazz value favors. This thread should be closed because there is nothing to it but rank speculation and the desire to steal favors for nothing of real value.
 
I can see why Boston and a bunch of teams would like to have Favors. Dude is a quiet, steady workhorse-type player who can put up 20/10. I can't see why the Jazz would be in any hurry whatsoever to move him.
 
I like how the article implies that the Jazz would be totally fine with unloading Favors and it all depends on whether or not Boston would want to do it.

****ing morons.

Okay, maybe not. Heard that on the FAN today though.

I wouldn't trade Favors. We seem to be improving and need to see if it's an anomaly or a trend. If it's the latter, and these guys develop, we could be building something. And the more time they play together, the better their chemistry and crisp execution will be on the court. Swapping in for an unknown is a risk and hurts building said chemistry.

Atlanta can swap picks with Brooklyn this year. Brooklyn so bad.

what about Horford?

The Horford trade makes sense if we trade Kanter, not if we trade Favors. Kanter and Horford are much more similar than Horford and Favors. Also... Horford has just returned from an injury and he's picking up steam after the injury now AND his contract is due to expire after the next season, so that would make it a bad trade if we don't have assurance of some sort that he's going to be willing to resign.

If it was Kanter+asset for Horford, I'd do it right away, but I don't think such trade would be possible. Atlanta wouldn't be willing to do it.

Horford has started slow since being out.

That's understandable, but he's been getting better lately. In the last 5 games he's 18.4/6.4 and 4.2 assists.
 
Favors isn't going to be traded, at least not before the deadline. Nobody is going to offer what it would take for Utah to give him up now, which is pretty much the kitchen sink and first born. I also don't see Ainge making this kind of move before the offseason. Having said that, if for some reason DA decided he absolutely had to have Favors, Boston does have the assets to make the Jazz listen.

Favors does have a lot of positives that I believe would make Utah extremely hesitant to trade him, but you can't ignore the possibility that the value of his contract could be greater to the team in a trade.


So what did Ainge get by, in effect, taking Wallace’s contract off of the Nets hands? When one includes how Ainge parlayed Humphries, Bogans and the trade exception, this is what he has gotten (so far) in return for the deal:
-
- Tyler Zeller
-
- Marcus Thornton (deal expires in 2015)
-
- Dwight Powell
-
- Brooklyn Nets 2014 No. 1 pick—James Young
-
- Brooklyn Nets 2016 unprotected No. 1 pick
-
- Brooklyn Nets 2018 unprotected No. 1 pick
-
- Boston right to swap 2017 No. 1 picks with Brooklyn; if Boston does so, Brooklyn gets Boston’s 2017 No. 2 pick
-

- Cleveland top-10 protected 2016 No. 1 pick
-
- Cleveland 2016 No. 2 pick
-
- Cleveland 2017 No. 2 pick
-
- Washington top-49 protected 2015 No. 2 pick
-
- $4.3 million trade exception (through July 2015)
-
- $5.3 million trade exception (through September 2015)
-
When one adds in the 2015 Clippers No. 1 pick for Doc Rivers, and the 2015 and 2016 Philadelphia No. 2 picks as well as the 2016 Miami No. 2 pick that were acquired in small part for MarShon Brooks (as part of a deal including Jordan Crawford and Joel Anthony), this is a rather extraordinary haul. And, of course, the Celtics have all their own no. 1 picks going forward. In the next four seasons, the Celtics have eight No. 1 picks and eight, possibly nine, No. 2 picks. And that doesn’t include Young and Zeller and the trade exceptions that remain and should be parlayed into more players or draft picks.

When it comes to rebuilding, I think it's safe to say that Danny Ainge doesn't **** around.
