Maybe there’s a 20/20 pun in there, but whatevs. I think we’re two rotation pieces away from really being up there. We’ve got a good top 7:

Conley
Mitchell
Ingles
Bojan
Gobert

Clarkson
O’Neale

We need 1) a rebounder and 2) an energy guy. If we can make those moves on the fringes this year, then that’s great. But to hell with the luxury tax (not even sure where we’re at with that next year with regard to re-signing variables). Top 5 are under contract. Royce is a RFA and we have Clarkson’s bird rights.

We will have the full MLE. We will not have the BAE since we used it on Davis this summer. Not sure what the market will be for both Favors and Crowder. Would be nice to land both of those guys by splitting the exception (~$9-10M?). Crowder may not have a big market. If you give a long contract to Favors, I wonder how low you could go in the first year to get him to bite.

Maybe you could do a sign-and-trade with Memphis where we give them a second rounder, Davis, and Bradley for Crowder.

If Memphis were to accept this type of deal, I’d personally buy a drink for everyone in the arena for the next game.
 
I don't think splitting the MLE is going to get both. I'd offer the MLE to Favors. We need him back. Crowder is just "meh" as a player. He shoots a low percentage.

I don't think the OP is suggesting trading for Favors. It's about using the MLE this summer.
 
Favors and Crowder would be perfect bench pieces. Damn.

Realistically, the Jazz are going to have to start getting contributions from one of their diamonds-in-the-rough both because the money might not exist and that the Jazz don't control the fates of Favors or Crowder.
