Last I remember the Nuggets leaned on Murray in that series. Gobert can’t guard both Joker and Murray, that’s why we lost because our perimeter defense was weak as hell.

Last I remember Don defended Murray well and Murray defended Don well but they were both unstoppable. I also remember Jokic outperforming Rudy after we took the 3-1 lead. Rudy is awesome but I don't think we'll re-sign him at what he'll get in UFA, and it's possible he won't want to stay. I think the Donovan beef hurt him. Hopefully we learned our lesson with Haywad.

Yes, Rudy can’t guard Jokic when he also has to worry about Murray because he was running circles around DM and everyone else.
 
Have to say, I'm worried about Favors's health. Missed a lot of time last year, and didn't really pop athletically much when he was in. Hope he can lose a bit of weight again and that the Jazz's training staff figure out a way to keep him going. Hurts not having several months before the season starts.

It will be nice not having to spend too much time integrating him in though. . .

Does he still have foot issues? What about his back?
 
Favors is a luxury, but not a bad one at the MLE. Just wasn't worth $17M. It makes no sense to sign Favors and draft Doke, but it was the pick that was bad not the signing.

He has a chronically bad musculoskeletal system. He's been his healthiest on restricted minutes, so him as a backup makes sense. But I dread that we're going to see more two centers that can't spread the floor, dribble, or pass lineups.
 
I am thrilled to have Favors back.

I don't think that Gobert is going anywhere. I think we HIGHLY VALUE what he does for us enough to seek out another version of Rudy to try to groom the next round.

The Udoka pick is a promising replacement for Bradley for now. 3rd string. We dont NEED him to perform. Perhaps some day he replaces Goberts minutes.

Favors is back to replace Ed Davis at 50% of his old salary.

We fixed our depth issue at the 4/5 this week.
 
Late to the party but my take is that Jazz FO is preparing IF Jazz won't be able to strike a deal with Rudy.
IF that happens at least there's Favors and Dok to man the fort.
Then with Rudy S&T could net replacement plus usable pieces.
