The Inevitable Favs Reunion

If the choice is Favs at the full MLE or Meyers at the minimum and we retain JC and use our MLE for something else then I’d probably take Meyers.

The shooting would help but those two are in different worlds defensively and if we run the same defensive stuff we are now then the center has to be pretty damned good on defense.
No question.

But maybe in that situation, we actually have to run some different defensive schemes, and I think that would actually make us a better team overall.

I feel like Leonard's value is probably more around the BAE-amount. Which, I don't know, probably still sounds better to me than Favors at the MLE (I'm probably undervaluing Favors, I am just sick of overpaying for his total contribution [he couldn't play big minutes even if we/he wanted/needed him to which puts a hard ceiling on his contribution] and pulling **** to make it work).
 
He is thinking of playing in Spain. I think that sounds kind of cool.

I think it's worth kicking the tires but I don't think it'll happen. Having Conley at some point has to be worth ****ing SOMETHING, though.
This could be our saving grace, though. If all the sudden we have Gasol coming off the bench, it makes it a lot easier to have Conley off the bench, too. How much is that worth if we translated it into Gasol's salary?

Let me put it a different way:

Favors at the full MLE and Conley starts...

Or Gasol at the MLE and Conley comes off the bench?

You love Gasol... he looked kinda washed in the Boston series. Would be nice to have a center that shoots a little.

I wonder if the raps do a one year overpay for a lot of their guys and try and keep it together before going after Giannis.
 
I am going to be so ****ing dejected if Favors gets the MLE.

THE JAZZ NEED TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS INSTEAD OF CLINGING TO SECURITY BLANKETS, CAPPING THE CEILING ON THE COURT, AND HAMSTRINGING THEMSELVES FINANCIALLY TO DO SO.

Nah, he certainly wouldn’t be my first choice. But, looking at the artificial constrains the FO places on themselves, parlaying a Gasol signing into a Conley move to the bench may be the ceiling of potential offseason moves that don’t include Conley defaulting to the starting lineup next year.

And I agree he’s probably washed. But washed Gasol > TB. And he can shoot the three and spread the floor. Plus him and Conley off the bench isn’t bad as a tandem.

Ahem. Gasol is a fabulous passer. He’d be the only big on the roster that could do it.

I’d be fine with it... although... mikes buddies are 0/2 so far.
