Len and Knight are too expensive for the Jazz longterm plans.. Warren's pretty much the same build as Hayward, not an ideal fit either, he's no Harrison Barnes!!

If Bender's involved the Jazz are sending a 1st rd pick back ontop of Favors.. and then another PF must be secured..

I may consider doing Favors and Mack for Alex Len and TJ Warren... both are short term contracts and both can bring something this year.
That would be an amazing landing spot for Favors. Don't the Suns have the best medical staff in the NBA?

I know they used to. Not sure about the last five years or so.
That should just give you an idea how big men aren't really commanding a lot in the trade market right now. Maybe we have an upper-hand if Watson/Corbin really like Favors, which they might.
Uhh, we better get PJ Tucker. Warren hs more potential, but Tucker is the better player RN.
What I want more than any of these trades is for Favors to be himself again and help us go deep in the playoffs.
He's an awesome PF when he's healthy. We're not going to get another Favors for Favors. Might as well just hold onto the Favors we already have.

Or it could be about his contract $. Yes, he can contribute. But he's very expensive.
Right on cue, Ben Dowsett just retweeted someone saying that teams are showing interest in P.J. Tucker. Among those teams is the Jazz.

Tucker would be a good fit here.

Throw Chandler in somehow and I'm in. Withey ain't the answer folks.
? That's retarded. No way in hell do I wnt a backup center at his contract for 2 more years. Withey is the answer because Withey cost dirt for a position we only need if someone gets injured.
I'd do Bender for Favors straight up. Getting Dudley would be sweet as well for PF insurance since who knows who's going to actually be good at the spot in a given night.

I admit I wasn't thinking of the numbers with our own impending cap issues and keeping players. We need a big for backup, Withey's soft as charmin.
Additionally, I have almost no faith that Favors' health will turn around on this team. There are so many red flags about the medical/training staff here. I want Favors to do well, and if he's just going to sink here, then why not get something out of what's left of him as an asset and give him a chance to see if another team's medical personnel can do what the Jazz have thus far been unable to?
We don't need a backup center. Withey has been just fine in his minutes. If I'm DL I'm never paying anything more than the minimum (or very close to it) for a backup center.
Alternately and ideally, you have a PF than can play the backup C spot. If that player also has the ability to hit a jumper, ****ing perfect.
