We might be able to definitively say that Rudy and Favs don't work together well on offense... we never really got to decide because we had Ricky too. I agree... I don't think it'd be the best use of our MLE. If we got something for Ed and Tony and then signed Favs with the MLE I won't complain.

Yup, things MIGHT be different with DM, Ingles, and Bojan slinging from the perimeter.

He's averaging 30ppg since the trade.
Correct. Might.

My gut tells me we would have been a better team this year if we were starting Favors instead of Conley. I know that has glorious levels of hindsight, but the point is the substitution of Bricky with Bojan and then run it back.

true, but I don’t think we ever get Bojan if it wasn’t for us already getting Conley.

I disagree. But this board has hashed this out. Dead horse.

Andy Larsen said something similar in a reddit AMA about a month ago. I miss Favs...
Q: Andy, if the salary cap is dropped next year, do you think the Jazz would prioritize re-signing Clarkson or using the full MLE on a quality player? Or just go into the tax and do both?
A: The obvious answer to that is "Depends who the player they can get with the mid-level is." I honestly think they have a real shot at getting Derrick Favors with the full 4-year mid-level if they want... do you try to keep Clarkson, go for Favors, or both? Both might be the best answer.
Q: I love Derrick Favors as a person and as a player, do you think him coming back to the Utah Jazz is an actual possibility? I hated to see him go and I think we are missing a player with his calliber in the current roster.
A: I do think it is an actual possibility, yes.

I'd love to get Favors back, but you should realize he probably can only play 20 minutes a game over the long term because of his back. And I think that would fit with us perfectly.

That's a myth
Very good. The Jazz also had a bad record without Gobert but Favors plays wonderfully when he has space and isn’t overplayed.
Unless something comes from his Bird Rights, then the MLE is his market.
I actually haven't generally been a fan of bringing guys back. And it seems out it typically hasn't worked real great. That being said, I'd love for Favors to come back here. I think he's be the exception, if he's willing to come back for the MLE.
So sad that I legit was like, Ed who? for a couple of seconds. Probably one of the most disappointing signings ever for me, in terms of what I expected vs what he delivered.
Why wouldn't teams with cap space be interested? I guess I haven't looked at the cap space and free agent situation at all.
