Disregard Mirotic, Aquire Favors!

[Handlogten's Heros]

It's what the Jazz had last night. Favors, of course, pulled down 8, but he also provides teammates with opportunities to snag offensive rebounds. I can think of at least one situation last night when he tapped a rebound back to someone on the perimeter. The rebound is credited to Joe or Ricky or whoever caught the ball, but without Favors to tap it, it doesn't happen.

Controlled tap outs are credited to the tapper as a rebound.

Yeah, getting Mirotic is going to be impossible now until 2019 free agency.

And IDK how I feel about Favors long-term. I cant really get too excited about his 3pt shot when Favors has been a pretty stagnant mid-range and FT shooter for the last 4 years of his career.

And remember, this is a contract year.

The one thing that I really like is that both Gobert and Favors are getting a lot craftier dishing around the basket. The Favors dish to Jerebko right near the basket was art.

One of my favorite plays of the game

I've gotta think that Favors is going to want to stick around. These guys have a special bond. Did you guys see the post-game interview with Rubio and his son, Favors, Donovan and Rudy all sitting at the table together fielding questions?

Based on his last contract he's not the kind of guy to base his decision solely on money.

Seriously, though. Favors needs to stay. We don't need a pansy stretch four that lowers the effectiveness of our defense. We need to combine grit and grind Defense with a high flying, ball whipping Offense. No other free agent acquisition in 2018 gives us that better than Favors. With no Hood or Haywood, Favors is perfectly affordable.

Also, give us back Exum, and let's do this!

Yep, that was also an excellent cut/running the floor by Jerebko.

I like that Favs gives us Rudy insurance... it’s another bonus to having Favs. I’m skeptical on the corner three but he’s shooting them with no hesitation.

The Niko ship has sailed and looking at our draft position and his performance and I’m sad... has anyone seen Infection... I imagine he has gone off the rails Ron Burgandy style.

If the deal was AB and a first for Niko, which is better than they got, then we lost on that one. Better nail this pick... my guess is whoever we pick will be Infections least favorite player.

If that's the play I'm thinking of... Rubio and Jingles were breaking hard up the court together while Rubio slowed down just enough to let things develop and hit Favors, who hit a cutting Jerekbo. That was a beautiful play.

Rubio set that up perfect. He paused just enough on that fast break to let things fall into place. Showed an excellent feel for the game.

I'm fairly certain that the deal is very rarely what we thought it was. I think that part of the Niko calculus is that it also meant dropping Favors after the season. So the question may be "Is Niko worth Favors plus a twenty one pick?" Burks as an expiring is pretty moveable next year without giving up a pick.

That must have been the time they DIDN"T call an 8 second violation in seven seconds. Can't have Rubio pausing. I guess we should feel lucky that the Ref didn't run over and knock Rubio down Teague-style.
