Hood or Favors?

If there's one thing we've learned from this stretch of games missed by Favors, it's that Trey Lyles is no where close to being able to fill those shoes. Favors is just a flat out better player. Whether or not he ever gets back to being 100% healthy seems to be a big question mark, but replacing him with an inferior player because of better fit is and always has been fool's gold.

Favors with screwed up knee and bummed back is light years ahead of Lyles.

A guy misses 1 month of basketball and is limited for another month and everybody is ready to disregard years of solid two-way performances. Hood has never played with the consistency and at the level Favors played for the last two years and Favors is just a year older than Hood. I love Hood, but it boggles my mind why anyone would think Hood is the better player.
 
Hood.

Have always thought Favors play too soft. Great player, but something's always been missing, imo.

Why would anyone max Hood?
Burks received a 4/40 deal. That is the type of deal Hood will get (obviously it will be more money, because the cap is a lot higher, but Hood will get that "above average starter" money...because he is a very average starter).

You're ****ing clueless.
 
Favors is a good player, but he's a luxury we can't afford. Title contending teams simply can't spend 40+% of the cap on their PF and C. Those days of Bynum/Gasol and Duncan/Robinson are long gone. The Clippers can't win because they have 2 bigs eating the lane and cap yet can't shoot a lick.

We are blessed to have Gobert owning the middle. We need to have a PF by committee approach with Lyles, Diaw, and a small option. A guy like Barnes would be perfect, and who knows Hayward might be able to do it a little when Burks and Hill return. We need to target a stretch 3/4 and hope Bolomboy develops as guy to replace Diaw soon.

Agreed. Favors was a near allstar before his injury. Neither Hood or Lyles comes close right now, especially defensively where they both suck a lot. But that's "fans" for you. You get hurt 2 months and they already want to trade you to China.

Now the best move would be waiting to see if Favors can play 100 % healthy again for at least half a season. If so, he's basically irreplaceable.

Jazz is a contender only if Favors is healthy. The killer defense comes from having both Gobert and Favors inside, with Hayward / Hill outside. If you remove one, Jazz is still a very good team but probably not a contender anymore.

But his health is incredibly worrisome to me. He has what are generally minor injuries repetitively now and they have cost him time and performance like major injuries. I am very concerned that his body is already breaking down on him. I hope I am wrong but I would not consider a big contract for him until I was convinced otherwise, as in, starting to be very productive again very soon and playing the rest of the season.
