No more plumbers!!! Fix the issues.

It's obvious the only way to significantly improve the roster is by letting BOTH Favors and Rubio go, not just one or the other. This is why I don't understand why some fans are so hell-bent on keeping Favors. It's also why it's concerning when Dennis Lindsey comes out and say's "Derrick Favors isn't part of the problem, he's part of the solution."

So if a very good FA doesn't sign with Utah this summer, do you just toss out contracts to average ones because you have cap to spend?
Look, i'm Lindey's toughest critic. I lambaste him relentessly - even too much for some on here who accuse me of only making posts of that nature.
The preferred action is to sign a very good or great FA. But what IF Utah can't attract a player like Tobias or Brogdon, etc.? Does Utah just jettison Favors and Rubio? Because once they do and get under the cap, that's it. They even lose the MLE and only have the room exception.
I'd hate to see essentially the same team return. Jazz could still make at least one strong change by using their MLE, though. So strike out in free agency, and I think Favors SHOULD return. Maybe even Rubio if he agrees to a 1+1 deal. Then the Jazz have the same ammo at the deadline - i.e. $30m in expiring contracts.
And BTW, i'm not a Conley fan. Had he tried to pushbthe deal along or said anything positive, that would be different. Instead he had to deny ever saying he DIDN'T want to play for the Jazz. So **** him.

- I'm not saying that the Jazz need to keep Favors and Rubio. Maybe I should read the article, but I am skeptical that it is worth my time. I assume from the posts here that the article says to move on from Rubio and Favors. So okay, then what? How does that get the Jazz an allstar?

It doesn't necessarily have to be someone who's been an all star but someone who has all star level talent like signing Tobias Harris or trading for Mike Conley. Kemba Walker would be most peoples top choice but I'm not sure how realistic he is.

Locke had a great observation of n do we want to spend 18 million on a back up center...where the rest of the league spends 1-2 million.

This is what a lot of us on here have been saying for a long time. It's ridiculous to be spending that much money on a backup center, and between Favors and Rudy we'd be spending $43 million just on the center position next year. There are definitely better uses of that $18 million.
