Favors is solid both sides of the ball and at a bargain. I'd rather keep him.
But, using your argument, Jazz could trade Hayward instead for the 3rd or 4th pick (1 and 2 are impossible to get).
Why? Because Hood can start at the 3.
And with Hayward gone that frees up a bench spot for Hield or Murray or whoever.
Luwawu did not play again today. Wonder if injury is serious enough to stop him from coming over and working out.
Zagorac had 20 and 8 against the best team in Serbia. I would love him with our first second round pick, but think he will go before that. Would not be shocked to see him go end of first. Especially a team like the Spurs.

True, but a) Hayward is a better overall player than Favors, and b) Lyles is going to start taking minutes from Favors this season, whereas Hayward doesn't have anyone challenging him for minutes at the SF.
A line-up with Exum/Murray/Hayward/Lyles/Gobert with Hood and Davis/Maker coming off the bench is a good, balanced line-up.

It's the mental aspect of Skal that scares me the most.

U actually think Murray would start over Hood as a rookie? I see him as more a career 6th man or good role player.
I'm all in on Maker. It would be interesting having him and Lyles playing together in the second unit. U could really play a wide open game and spread the floor and create serious matchup problems and out small ball the GSW's while still playing a traditional type of lineup.

So in all seriousness, do the Jazz really have the backbone to pull the trigger on Thon Maker at 12? Or do the Jazz just view him as a 2nd rd prospect at 42?

Well, you and I differ on various players' value. I think Hood is pretty close to Hayward quality: somedays better, somedays not, but overall the same inconsistency as Hayward, with the possibility of being more consistent than Hayward going forward.
I like Lyles but defensively he's more significant drop-off from Favors than Hood is from Hayward. I know I'm fighting the general opinion of Hayward as some kind of All-star (doubtful), but I think people's minds have been swayed by the constant pro-Hayward propaganda. And don't get me wrong, Hayward's good - better this last year than ever before. But he's not as good as everyone at 1280thezone are saying. I'm not convinced.
Probably will do the same thing they did with Gobert. Buy a pick and grab him. Or something along those lines.
