The Inevitable Favs Reunion

[Handlogten's Heros]

It is happening... lots of smoke around it. Tony Jones has said multiple times he wants to come back... it is a super Jazzy move to bring back a guy we love. I'm not sure I want to pay that much for a backup center but I love Favs and the guys all love Favs. Ingles can run pick and roll with the second unit that way. Here are two ways it happens:

1- the best route is we trade Ed, Tony, and 2 second round picks to NO in a sign and trade deal. NO may do it because they are operating over the cap anyway and if Favs wants to leave this gives them some trade fodder for later in the season... TB may have a little trade value (his raw numbers are good)... and they get two second round picks.

2- sign him outright using the MLE and then look to deal TB and Ed using second round picks to teams with space.

3- Sign him outright and say goodbye to JC because we don't have the dough to go into the tax and can't find a home for Ed and TB (it should be doable).

It just feels like its happening.

I'm so down for getting Favors back.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Yep it's destiny. And it opens out options in case someone offers something major for Gobert.

 

[Eminence]

I'd really love him back.

It can definitely be done without Clarkson. And it should be done, he would be the perfect compliment. And i adore him.

 

[latin jazz]

We probably sign him with the MLE (8-10M a year). He is definitely getting a pay cut. We can keep JC too.

Putting Favs back at the 4 will help solve several issues for the jazz. At least Rudy will be free to leave his man to contest the shot knowing Favs's got him covered.

It would be a step back to sign Favors if we lost Clarkson.

All of your ****ing whining about needing to be a better team and that our roster is built like garbage, and you wanna go back to what we knew more than anything else wasn't working all those years?

Because it wasn't working. It won't work. He would be a backup/depth and anything more than that would be a straight-up mistake.

I am great with this depending on the particulars. Him playing alongside Rudy with any kind of regularity whatsoever is a non-starter.

except we won't have the same roster? our team is built like garbage because we gained offense at the expense of our defense. we did a zero-sum instead of net improvement. Getting Favs back in the lineup while keeping all of our offensive weapons would definitely serve as a big plus to our lackluster rebounding and defense.

the team will have plenty of spacing still with Rudy/Favs combo as long as we keep three of DM/Bojan/Ingles/JC on the floor. trade Conley for a 3nD then put DM at the point we may still manage to keep our playoff spot next season.
