I can't believe that this conversation is happening. Do you people (the ones that want to crucify Rubio and have Mitchell be the PG) understand the job of a Point Guard? I'm not some huge fan of Rubio, but having Mitchel as the PG is not the answer. A PG should have the capability of distributing the ball, and Mitchell's talents is to score. Of course Mitchell's efficiency plummeted when Rubio returned, but the efficiency of the rest of the team balanced out. Mitchell is no Point guard nor does he want to be. Nor should we want him to be. We want him moving without the ball because that's when he's the most productive contributing to the teams win shares.

Mitchell is a great passer. You surround him with more shooters and have PG defending him rather than taller SG, that will be good for him. He's also in his second year and never played PG before. He has a lot of upside there, more than he does as SG imo.

You can trade players into cap-space in the off-season. The Jazz can do Favors for Conley straight up.

K... does Memphis want $17M of Favs... cuz you have to guarantee it to trade it. We giving them the draft rights to who we pick? We giving them a 2020 pick (people were down on the 2019 draft... don't know what 2020 looks like).

It was a lot cleaner to do it at the deadline... timing, money and such will be tougher to figure out in the offseason.

They could still cut Favors after trading for him, no? But Jazz could also just cut Favors and trade fir Conley, so the point is moot.

Unless you're getting Klay Thompson, you cant start next season with Mitchell at PG surrounded by a bunch of guys who are just shooters and Gobert.

You can though. I actually saw them do it.

Jazz would need to cut favs, kill our trade exceptions, remove caphold a for Ricky, and then decline Neto to do it straight into space... I’m not 100% sure that quite does it.

They can’t cut him... he doesn’t count as salary unless he’s guaranteed.

Could trade Bradley/Neto/Niang after guaranteeing. Then we are left with small exceptions to fill out roster.

Getting him at the deadline would mean we could have operated over the cap and would have MLE for other needs.

I’m fairly sure that bridge is burned... unless they just wanted to do a salary dump.

They want 17 million of Favors more than they probably wanted 30 million in expirings they would have to have taken back in a deal at the deadline.

Remember their owner plays a significant role in their negotiations.
