But if Kanter + Favors isn't as good as (Kanter or Favors) + (Jefferson or Millsap), then it sacrifices wins. Good for tanking; bad for revenues.
Favors & Kanter the Future.....NOT THE PRESENT

The bigman rotation is not the problem right now, IMO. Inside and outside shooting woes of the Jazz come from the inffective picks, bad spacing on the floor, IMO. BigAl has struggled and not shown consistency in his shooting, but, he gets the ball where he wants, mostly. Other than that, big men got the ball generally way outside of painted area, which is a direct result of the bad execution in sacrificing bodies to set effective picks to get the cutting/running man to intended spot. Also, we are used to seeing Jazz get easy layups after the inside passes by bigmen to slasher and cutter wings. Neither Enes, nor others have been able to find the wings when they are slashing or battle to take advantage over their matchup by post ups.
I think once the picks, cuts and passes get more precise, both outside shooters will get better looks, and bigmen will get the ball where they are more effective. Players should get used to each other to get a feel for each other and to learn where are their favorite spots, weaknesses.

A big part... Probably the main part...
Of the concept of "rebuilding" is playing as if the future was the present.

What's funny is that the vets have been committing stupid mistakes that only the younger players are supposed to do...
In fact, the younger players have been compensating for the vets.
CJ's stupid foul? Offset by Hayward's shot.
Al Jefferson failing to rotate.... Even once.... Puts Favors in foul trouble since he actually tries to come over and help.
Raja Bell, Devin Harris, CJ, and Al failing to even put a hand on someone... Puts us down by double digits before we know it.
Raja Bell's shooting? Puts pressure on everyone else to have to score... While the defense doesn't even respect Raja's range anymore...
Al Jefferson has yet to pass this year. He could learn from Kanter, who doesn't think it's his role to shoot every time down the court. Kanter does other things, like box out, rebound, and attempt to stay in front of his man. Al could learn from that. There's more to basketball than just jogging down the floor, demanding the ball, and shooting your "big weezy" shot.
Burks actually runs the ball up the court and tries to set up his team. Harris? Walks the ball up the floor and shoots whenever he can.
Our lone win this season came despite the vets, not because of them.
We need to play the "vets" less. Maybe they can learn from the rookies and second year players not to commit foolish mistakes, actually rotate once in a while on defense, and actually you know, do this thing called a pass.

I think he's saying that nobody should start at the 5 and 4.
Maybe just start Ty Corbin and Gary Briggs instead?
Maybe Sloan will come out of retirement to play basketball again.

We won with Favors and Millsap, so that's a good place to start. Really though, it depends on who we're playing as to what the starting lineupand rotations should be.

Wow, you waited 3 years and 21 days for your killer smack down comment that consisted of 6 works? Why would you resurrect an unimportant, deformed, died of natural causes, baby back from the dead? This post was forgotten about for a reason. It sucked 3 years and 21 days ago. And guess what?? IT SUCKS TODAY.
I'm not done, lets elaborate. In the past 3 years and 21 days, what has happened??
- Commissioner Stern resigned, and Commissioner Silver was appointed.
- The price of gas has decreased by a national average of $1.34 per gallon.
- Floyd Mayweather has agreed to fight Manny Pacquiao
- Isis is now our new #1 threat
- Hillary Clintons balls have risen, while your balls have dropped.
