Smart trade, but I thought I heard somewhere that Favors doesn't like playing C?

Only if your team builds itself around Al and his game, but not under any other circumstance (does anyone remember how that experiment went?).
It helped the Jazz surprise a lot of people and make the playoffs?
I guess I wasn't clear. The experiment of making Al play as part of a team, not on top of a team. As in, the team that barely won a lot of games to start (with Al playing particularly poorly), then hit a horrific skid, then imploded, then the Jazz had no other choice than to give Al all the shots he wanted.
Numb makes valid points; I agree. Kanter does trouble me though. The Summer League was the first real chance to give Kanter some freedom to operate and you know the result. I guess I fear him becoming a bust, so maybe trading him now when his market value is still high -- or maybe it isn't ???

Yes he did but his umbels show that he plays better as a center right now. Besides there really are 2 interchangeable positions on the court. Pf/c and sg/sf.
No pics, please.
I want Al gone as well.
But if we're going to be competitive next year (and the Millers would make damn sure that we are to sell tickets) - then we need Big Al.
We're just not going to the Playoffs in the West with Kanter/Evans as our 3rd big (with injuries and what-not).
There's absolutely no way we're trading Big Al. The Millers won't allow it. And they own the damn team!!!
Whe you trade him it's not as if you're not getting anything back.

Over the long term, he doesn't because if he gets big minutes Favors and Kanter get less minutes. But he's capable of 20 points and 10 rebounds on any given night. That helps the Jazz win some games and be more competitive than if they didn't have Al.

You're trying hard for a captain obvious metal huh?
