Well unless you are sexual favors who wants to trade anyone in the way of his man love Kanter.

To me, that mindset is a problem. Our organization is too caught up on who likes to play here, and a sense of owing them for it. Rudy and Enes like it too. As a kid, Enes used to wake up in the middle of the night to watch Jazz games so he could watch Memo. Rudy bought a place here his rookie season and spends the majority of his free time during the offseason with the team.
Does Favors really like it, or is it just a comfort thing? Being traded rocked his world... To me, his love for Utah is just a telling sign of his lingering fragility a ddislike of stepping outside his comfort zone. He has a good thing here and should like it. But the reasons why he likes it aren't purely altruistic. The NBA is a business. The Jazz have owed him... A paycheck and time on the floor to develop, both of which he got. GM's aren't father figures, and they shouldn't be. Their sole concern should be building a championship team, and that's done by buying low, selling high, envisioning fit, and avoiding redundancies. Favors and Gobert are a redundancy. The money needed to keep both of them long term would be better served at another position of need.
We could probably get Dragic, TH Warren, Green, and a draft pick fora package of Favors and Trey. Phoenix knows they need rim protection if they're ever going to crack the playoffs.

I don't agree with these posts often, but that team would be nice. We need more 3 and D guys.
Trading Favors would be beyond retarded. He has shown improvement every year and is on a great contract. Let's see how far his range and skill-set improves next year to say if he can or can not play with Rudy next year.

Sure that would be ideal, but I'm not sure Utah can clear enough cap space to offer Wes a contract. Utah will be at the cap after holds for the draft picks and Enes. Conceivably about $8M could be jettisoned by letting Booker go and finding a trade partner for Novak. But that won't be enough for Matthews. If the Jazz want to keep Kanter, I don't see how they can bring in other FA's for much more than the MLE.

Would be awesome, but it's not going to happen. Jazz aren't going to get a top 5, much less top 2 pick this year. If they do, they're set up nicely for the future.
