Gobert out for 4-6 weeks

This season sucks.

Not great news, but I think it makes some things clearer for Lindsey.

Now Lindsey can work to trade some of his short term contract guys for assets.

Bring on Tony Bradley.

I agree. However I have had to already temper my expectations. If Gobert's injury allows some other players to get a rhythm and their confidence back the Jazz may be better in the long run. It may force the other players to not rely Gobert to bail them out as much on D.

I like this. Give Tony Bradley some game time and see what he can do. What's there to lose?

Hopefully they can blow up Favors trade value a bit more before the deadline.

So if Gobert is out for a while and Favors gets traded, this becomes a tank season. The other one-year guys like Jerebko and Udoh come into play as well.

I would add Joe Jesus to that list. He definitely has value for a contender. Not so much on this Jazz team

Cleveland. They need a real 5 and a defensive boost.

They might be willing to part with the BKN pick in order to have a better shot against GS. A Shumpert/Favors swap works in terms of salary matching.

dude, ain't no way we can pry the BKN pick, IMO.

I agree that CLE is a potential landing spot for Favs. What are some other teams that should be in the market?

lmfao dude, no one is giving up any kind of first round pick for Favors, much less a lottery pick.

I think the best case scenarios are:

1. Jazz trade Favors + a favorable contract <-----> Jazz receive a player under contract for a year or two plus a less favorable contract. But DL would really have to like these players since he's obviously been clearing space.

2. Jazz are able to snare a late-first round pick. I think that's possible.

Dion Waiters just cheap shot Andre Drummond. The guy needs to be suspended.

The Bucks (to be good) and the Lakers (to shed future salary)? Maybe the Mavericks and Nets (they need a center badly [but either don't care much for improvement or are abjectly lacking assets])?
