What's new

Nikola Mirotic

Cavs biggest issue is JR and Crowder have been really bad this year.
 
If Love gets center minutes and Crowder gets PF minutes it is hard to get Favs and TT on the floor. Not sure either guy would be happy to be playing less than 15 minutes a night... Favs in a contract year.

Maybe they play through their unhappiness. If the GS Cavs finals series were starting tomorrow and both teams are healthy, which player would you be more likely to use in the series... Thabo or Favs?
Probably Favors.
 
Probably Favors.

I doubt it... TT can hurt the Warriors on the offensive glass... Favs really doesn't. Both guys can switch out... Favs a better shooter, but if you are shooting long twos against the warriors you already lost.

Thabo can help guard Thompson and Durant while stretching the floor.
 
IMO, it would be a failure on the part of the FO to not move Favors before the deadline. Which is why I expect them to do it.

Favors needs to embrace the reality that he is now a 5. It's not the end of the world - the new 5 is basically like the old 4. Adapt or die, dude.

There can be no doubt that Favs is on the trading block. The decision will be, is getting a player back better for us in terms of talent and cap space or is letting him walk at the end of the year better. That is not near as easy of a decision of folks make it seem. As for playing 4 versus 5, I think Favs has adapted really well. I would bet that he is very happy at the 5 as long as he gets to play. Don't see that as an issue at all.

I will give them Rubio and Burks, but I'm a pushover.
 
I've been looking at possible Mirotic trades. This one makes a lot of sense for everyone involved.

Jazz receive: Nikola Mirotic
Bucks receive: Derrick Favors
Bulls receive: Mirza Teletovic and the Bucks 2019 1st
