I'd like to trade Derrick Favors for Lebron James ..

Depends on what we could get for favors. In a favors trade scenario we dont trade favors for lyles cause we already have lyles but i do remember a trade rumor 2 summers ago that was favors for the #4 pick which ended up being porzingas. And i remember another one that was something like favors and burks for wiggins (rather than kevin love)

I wouldn't mind having porzingas or wiggins on the jazz.

I'd love to have Porz, but the story on him right now is that his future is center, as he can't guard out to the perimeter. Admittedly, it's one of the few Favors trades I wouldn't mind. Even so, I'd rather have a team built around elite defense at the 4/5, than built around a dynamic scorer at center who is isn't great defensively.

Not interested in downgrading from Favors defense to Lyles in order to add Wiggins. Nice player, but again, I really believe in Utah's foundation of elite defense in the frontcourt.

Lebron on the Jazz would be interesting, because he pretty much never gets injured. It's like the old immovable object vs the unstoppable force.

I do not agree. Without Favors, I think our ceiling is getting bumped in the first round. Utah needs another inside defensive presence to go deep in the playoffs.

When i said that as long as the jazz have rudy and hill then they are good, i was kinda talking about getting into the playoffs. I just think that those two are the two most important players on the team. To go far in the playoffs they definitely need hayward, favors, hood, etc etc.
