The Boston Celtics are actively attempting to trade up in next week's draft in order to select Myles Turner, according to

We're not trading Favors for Porzingis.

I don't even know who made that idea or where it came from, but it's so stupid.

We've done a better job of rebuilding than anyone who didn't make the playoffs.

Let's start a new rebuild by trading a proven 17 and 8 on a great contract for a rookie.

A spate of teams picking before the Bucks have also worked out Portis, including Detroit (No. 8), Indiana (11), Utah (12), Phoenix (13), Oklahoma City (14), Atlanta (15) and Boston (16).

When I asked the personable Portis whether any team has given him a “promise’’ to select him, he smiled and said, “A couple of teams have. They told me I was their guy. Or that I’m definitely in their top two. “I think they say that to everybody.’’

fwiw.

Who is saying that the jazz SHOULD trade favors for #4?

I don't think anyone has said that.

Lol. You are kidding right? Right? What's the difference than saying should and suggesting it? Not a whole hell of a lot.

The Porzingis hype machine is so out of control now I don't even think NY would accept the deal for Favors anyways. Shouldn't have to worry about it.

Utah will challenge for HC in the playoffs next year, and the Favors trade talk will go down as one of the most ridiculous topics ever on Jazz fans. Take that to the bank.

Quinn Snyder wants a PF who can stretch the floor in order to open up space to run his offensive system. We've got guys like Exum, Burks and Hayward who can get in the paint if there's space to operate. When Quinn complains about limited spacing he's pointing a finger at our bigs who don't space the floor. Porzingis is a guy who can create space and is mobile enough to play the 4. However, the more conservative route is simply to draft Looney or Portis. Turner apparently doesn't have the mobility to guard 4s all the time. He'll probably end up a 5 as result, which limits his value somewhat.

I think the coaching staff had viewed Favors as a 5 prior to Rudy Gobert taking the world by storm. Playing Favors at the 4 was a bit of an experiment at first, but it's working well, at least defensively.

I have not seen anyone saying that the jazz SHOULD trade favors. Quite the opposite actually.

I have heard a couple of people say it is possible that the jazz would think about trading favors.
Heard it last year too. Not really a big deal imo. I don't think anything will happen.

Favors is still limited offensively. He can hit baseline jumpers, hit elbow jumpers, finish pick-and-rolls and take dump-offs. His efficiency is good, but he's probably just going to be the 4th option offensively. He's a great post defender against 4s and an adequate defender against 5s. The idea of bringing in a 4 who is more versatile offensively is to open up the game for everyone else, basically to maximize the value of the other 4 guys while still creating offense at the 4.

So why has this topic gone on and on? Yeah no one thinks we should.

As a team, you still want at least 3 quality bigs to share minutes and handle match ups. Our front court is now thin after the Kanter trade, so it would sure take a lot for the Jazz to trade Favors.
