SI.com Top 100 Players......

[Getting Traded]

So yall think your top 3 is underrated and other all star players are overrated. You wonder why the Jazz fanbaser is the laughing stock of sports. The way yall have treated past players. Like YOU own them. But keep doing your thang because I see the Jazz always killing it in free agency. Ibaka and LA are both better then aNY player on the jazz. Don't count Kobe out. He has an incredible work ethic. He is also one of the greatest ever you dumb asses

That's only if Kobe can stay healthy. That's the big question mark.

Second best rim protector with a 3 point shot is overrated how?

I just never feel like he has that much of an impact on a game.

If you honestly take Favors over LA then you are not a great basketball mind. Not one GM would take Favors over him. Drinking the kool aid strong on this one buddy.

He is not that far guy! Favors 100% better defense and LA 100%% better offense. This is 0%!!!!!

What makes Aldridge better than Favors? Favors is much better defensively and Aldridge is inefficient offensive midrange chucker whose TS% and eFG are lower than both league average and position average. If you gave 20 possession a game to Favors(and gave him a competent PG) are you sure he won't score more than Aldridge? Because I'm not sure about that. I'd take Al Horford 10/10 before I take Aldridge.

LA is a black hole too.

I would take Favors over LA at their salary and age. Right now he's about as good as LA (though LA is probably slightly better) with more room to grow and improve while LA is at his peak, or on the downhill side. I'd say their are a lot of GM's that would take Favors over LA if they get them at their current salary.
.
Also as somebody else stated LA is a black hole and inefficient scorer and not as good of a defender as Favors already is. That could change now that he's going to a system not built around that kind of player.

Good post. Favors has gotten better every year and there's no reason to think he's peaked. LA is 30 years old; DF is 24. If you give a slight edge to LA right now (and I probably would), I think that advantage likely disappears in 1-2 years. Favors posted 16/8/2 last season on 53%. That's not shabby. LA averaged 23/10/1 on 47%. For the first time in his career, LA took quite a few 3PT shots and averaged 35%. He's also an excellent FT shooter, which Derrick is not. But give Favors more touches on offense, and consider his superior defense and the gap is pretty narrow between the two.
