What's new

Is Favors in the long-term plans at this point?

What are the chances of the Jazz packaging a deal with Favors for Paul George?

Almost none. I don't see us wanting to rent him... he won't stay. What do you give up for a rental... how far does it get us? My guess is another team like Cleveland would give up something of value for next year even if it was a rental.
 
My Derrick Favors trade of the day... Wizards are in cap hell right now. Send Favs for Gortat... saves them about $2M in luxury tax and salary this year, but the expiring contract allows them to avoid the repeater tax next year... they also give us a 1st round pick next year to compensate us for the salary burden. Favs gives them an upgrade and maybe they find a way to keep him if he comes cheap.

Gortat is a decent functioning center and is quite durable, so if Rudy is out we know he will be there. Older so maybe he accepts a bench role well. We get a pick and keep the powder dry for 2019.

Until we trade Favs I likely will trade him to a new team everyday.
