Those guys are all about the same tier as Favors. I guess its arguable they fit in better because they are better shooters but they also all lack rim protection and rebounding that makes Favors good for us. Niko is probably the only one I would trade Favors for if contracts were all equal. Harris I would have to think more about.

i haven't seen him play heaps but if Harris is a decent shooter and defender he holds some appeal.

A Beverly or a Harris won’t push us past the Rockets or Warriors. But a George might.

I think that team can beat GSW.

Rubio / Beverley / Exum
Mitchell / Royce / Allen
Ingles / Crowder / Thabo
Harris / Jerebko
Gobert / Udoh

He has been a good 3 point shooter over the last 3 years. I dont see the good defense but I have not watched a ton on him. He isnt a good rebounder and there are some other things I dont like about him. But if we lost Favors he would be a decent option to pursue. I would prefer Gordon or even Jabari over him personally but they are probably not attainable by us either.

I do because of the effect floor stretching bigs can have... you look at RPM for forwards and small forwards and you see superstars at the top... superstars and guys like Olynyk, Mirotic, Aminu, Marvin Williams on the PF list... and on the SF list you see guys like Ariza, Carroll, Middleton, Tucker and a lot of guys that play small ball 4. Jared Dudley for years was up there... average dude, but can play small ball 4 and okayish defense.

That space provided by shooting bigs provides crazy amounts of benefit. When you add the fact we have a rim roller that creates gravity and a PG who lacks gravity at times and that space can be huge.

It's a minor miracle that we figured out how to survive on offense with Rubio, Rudy, and Favs on the floor... coaching staff and players figured it out. Imagine what they can do when they don't have the space constraints.

That's my theory anyway.

Will need an ankle sprain... but almost every team needs GS to have an ankle sprain.

If Durant or Curry is hurt I agree. Or if Exum or Royce take a big jump and Mitchell, Rubio and Gobert keep improving.

I'm not sure this team would beat Golden State, but it would come a hell of a lot closer than our current roster.
 
Just look at the Charlotte/Brooklyn trade. Guys, a team just took $17 million in 2019 to avoid $7 million in 2018/19 salary so they could avoid twice that in luxury. The luxury tax is massive for some of these teams. There is no telling what we could get if we had Burks + $10 million in cap space. Considering we would be one of 3 teams in the entire league with that type of asset, we could get a massive future asset for our troubles.
 
Actually, I would try Udoh as our Durant stopper.

Who picked up an all-star level player in that Charlotte Brooklyn trade? Or even a player near Favors level?
 
Its an asset. Charlotte gave up a major asset (2019 cap space) in order to save luxury money.

We aren't going to get a current all star with our space. However, we can get an asset which could turn into one.
