Thanks for the reply!Yes, but it’s complicated, and would require assistance from Indianapolis and Memphis.
Step 1 - work out a sign and trade deal with Indiana for Rubio and Bogdanovic. This should be pretty easy and strait forward - as long as the numbers work.
Step 2 - adjust the deal with Memphis so you don’t have to use cap space to trade for Mike Conley.
Three parts to this - A.) Add Exum to the existing deal. B.) Get Memphis to fully guarantee Korver’s $7.5 million contract. C.) Improve the draft compensation to make it worth their while. Best way would be to give them next year’s pick (without protections) and then leave the current protections on the 2022/23/24 pick the same. Maybe throw in some cash to offset them buying out Korver.
Conley $32.5 million vs. Exum, Crowder, Korver and Allen ~$27.5 million.
Jazz would keep Favors, add Conley, add Bogdanovic and keep the full MLE of $9.2 million and the Burks trade exception of ~$4 million. But it costs them Exum and another draft pick to pull it off.
Conley, Mitchell, O’Neale, Bogdanovic, Jingles, Favors, Gobert, Full MLE free agent, Neto, Niang, Burks trade exception, maybe Bradley, the three rookies.
That's how I do them. Hurts my wrists to have palms downWasnt he trying to do knuckle pushups while he did that?

For sure. I always try to qualify my posts for the simple reason that my 40 year old mind that I did not treat too well in my 20-30s may have forgotten something haha.you can take out "IMO" because there is hardly any competition. maybe summer 2004
To be fair if cousins Thompson Klay Draymond and curry were healthy then that first paragraph still holds true“If the Warriors can add Cousins while still keeping Curry, Thompson, Iggy, Durant and Green. . . it’s all over. They’re unstoppable. Shouldn’t even try to compete. Nobody can beat them.”
Jazzfanz - this time last year.
Quit being whiny children and go compete. The Jazz are a top 4 team in the west AND they’re in the process of getting better this offseason.
Lakers don’t scare me - LeBron, Kawhi and AD are all injury prone lately. Talented, but there’s no sure thing that any of them are healthy at the end of the year.
Agreed.In all of my complaining about the Favors situation, I really hope it’s not lost on people that I know he’s a great dude and very good player. For that reason, it has been and continues to be ******** that we are stringing him along through all of this. Let him go get his payday, let’s shake hands, and go on our ****ing way.
What up FC?Turns out having a good team with a chance at contention...is appealing to free agents.
And an all time lucky bounce against PhillyYeah, all it took for the Raptors to win was season-ending injuries to two of the Warriors' All Stars.
Favors has been a consummate professional. Came off bench behind Jefferson and Millsap, played on injured leg in playoffs a couple of years ago, and stood in for Gobert when he was injured. I will root for him wherever he ends up (unless it’s the Lakers!).Agreed.
I love favors. His is one of 4 jerseys I have (his is my favorite since it's green).
But for himself and for us, he should go elsewhere. I will always root for him

Are they really planning to have this starting lineup?
MCJ - DM - Ingles - Boj - Gobert
If so
1. How will this team not get out-rebounded every game? All starters minus Gobert are below average rebounders. Boj is terrible at it.
2. Who will play 16 minutes at C?
3. That's a lot of shooting but very little athleticism, strength and pace. Won't they really struggle against certain teams?
Not if we have balance with Conley >20 pts, and Gobert and Bojan ~18. I'm penciling in Ingles around 12.Mitchell still needs to emerge as something like a 26 or 27-pt scorer in the league, but he'll have the right pieces around him to do it, if we pull this off.
Willie Reed is a serviceable backup. And now Dennis goes hunting for a big with the room MLE. There are some decent bigs who are going to get squeezed in free agency.I've been thinking exactly this. I'm worried about the defense as well.
Yep and honestly it's easily better than that one too imoEasily the best one since signing Boozer and Okur in 2004.
Me too. I'm committedI'm gonna be really bummed if he ends up staying in Indy.
