Rumor: Favors and Hayward for D'angello Russell and the #2 pick?

[tleikheen]

The defense and rebounding might be there, but to be a contender these days, you've got to have defense, rebounding, plus 2 30-pt scorers. Right now, the Jazz don't have even 1 30-pt scorer.

disagree...Jazz can have 2 >>>>30 pt scorers in Hayward and Favors if they shot 30 shots a game like Durant and Westbrook

I probably do it.
We still need to hit that homerun.
Russell and ingram have a better chance of being homeruns than hayward or favors do. (Hayward and favors are triples)

Maybe russell and ingram won't be homeruns either but maybe they will be

I <3 you fish but this is your worst post ever. I would neg you if you weren't fish.

Terrible analogy tho.

Russell is poo. Eff that.

Ingram or Simmons? Not convinved.

For everyone thinking Simmons is the next stud, how's his defense? Serial?

Hayward, Favors, Russell, #2 (Ingram)

How would you rank their value?
IE: Which has the most value to the least?

I would rank it #2 > hayward >/=favors >/= russell.
If that makes sense

The main decision that the Jazz need to make is whether they think they can retain Hayward and if they want to max both him and Favors. If they decide they don't want to max both of them, now isn't a bad time to move one of them.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If we're going to set back the clock, I'd consider Favors to Boston for #3 and either Jae Crowder or Kelly Olynyk. I'd probably take Jamal Murray at #3, but would look at all the other guys.

Russell isnt close to Hayward or Favors.

concrete feet Russel?

guy is lost in the sauce.

also hes aweful for the locker room. Hayward and Favors will be leaders if they aren't already.

As much as I would hate to see either of Hayward/Favors in a Lakers uniform, I would do that trade. While I don't blame people for being reluctant to extend this rebuild any longer, the team currently appears to be on track to become playoff regulars but not legitimate championship contenders.

As a small market team that is unable to attract high-end FA's, with a roster that is currently too talented to end up with a top draft pick, this type of trade is likely our best shot at acquiring that necessary superstar. Even if Russell & Ingram/Simmons are unlikely to ever develop in top 10 players, this deal would likely give us a high pick in a supposedly loaded draft class as well.

A core of Exum, Russell, Burks, Hood, Ingram/Simmons, Lyles, Gobert, #12, & a top 5 draft pick in 2017 is young, cheap, controllable, & extremely talented. While it's certainly a risk, I like the chances of competing for a title with that roster much more than I do with our current team. Especially when you factor in the potential of losing Hayward next year & Favors the following year.

I want to see this team return to it's winning ways as soon as possible, but if a few more losing seasons is the difference between making the playoffs & competing for a championship, I'll gladly wait for as long as necessary.

Poll options should be created without forcing voters to chose something they would not actually declare. In this one's case, just make it "no" and leave the rest out. I don't think trading two most valuable assets for unknown have to mean championship chance and vice versa.

Russell isnt close to Hayward or Favors.

I agree that favors and hayward ate much better players currently. But when I factor in potential, and to a lesser extent salary, I think russell is close in value as an asset to them.

I also think hayward and favors are currently much better players than whoever the #2 pick is. But again, when I factor in potential things change a bit.
