Play Along - if we HAD to trade

If I absolutely HAD to trade Favors or die, it would have to be for Ibaka. I can't see anyone else working for us and the trade feels kind of sideways and pointless, especially since we would need to include more outgoing. . .
 
I feel like people even here are undervaluing Favors. You realize he just had 28/14 season(per 100 pos) with elite defense at the 4 spot at age 23? He had better scoring and rebounding numbers than first team all NBA Marc Gasol and all-stars Paul Millsap and Al Horford, while having about the same efficiency. He's a future all-star if we are in playoff contention and he keeps developing his offensive game... All he needs now is exposure to get the recognition he deserves.
 
Conley is free agent next year BTW. If we make a serious push this year even without a PG, is there a chance he would consider us?
 
Boston would probably give up anyone on their roster.

Orlando could offer one of their better young players.

Lakers might offer Randle.

I'm w/ ya stitches... all the way... but that just means we're not good at playing w/ others...
the good Dr.'s rules... "If we HAD to trade him"...
I'm not playing anymore... I'm taking my basketball and going home to play by myself...
...or, maybe that didn't come out right...

lol. That would be pretty ironic to pair faves and kanter again.

We should be piling assets towards a Mike Conley sign-and-trade-- now there's a trade that makes sense. 2017 GS & 2018 OKC pick plus a scorer for him + filler. But I'd only worry about that if the end of this season nets minimal hope from Dante and Burke and Neto. Scrap Burke, let Exum play backup. Neto as 3rd string.

If Memphis underperforms prior to the deadline (it may have to be 7th seed or worse), I'd throw Exum (God forbid I know), the OKC pick, GS pick, and our 2017 1st IF AND ONLY IF there was crazy strong understanding and agreement that he re-signs here. Not sure how that is even possible. But I would.
