Teams that could use a more traditional center and or PF to pair with a stretch player

Celtics
Cleveland - Favors/Love wwould be a nice pairing
Milwaukee
New York
Memphis
Atlanta
Indiana
Pheonix
Chicago - I am sure we could get either Prtis or Mirotic
Dallas

Mirotic cant be traded for 3 months after his contract was signed. His salary would match Favors though. But he also has the rights to reject any trade in the first year so he would have to agree to it. He also only has a 2 year deal so he will be a UFA after next season. So he is not a good long term option. If he plays well he will cost a lot. If he doesnt improve a lot then he is worse than Favors and a downgrade for this team.

Portis is very young and has potential although he would be a downgrade for a season or 2. His contract is also way off so they would have to come up with a lot of extra salary. I think the only player that would match his salary to make it work is Robin Lopez, which we dont need or want and his salary would be a burden.

I also dont think Chicago would trade either of those for a Salary dump. They dont need a PF so all they would get is an expiring contract. Which they dont care about since they are tanking. I dont see why they would trade.

Those other teams might listen but what would they give us worth our time? and what would be the contract that we would take back? I have yet to see a decent trade proposal.

Although people really underrate a healthy Favors here. They also underrate that he is a great paring with Gobert and they have always played well together.
 
Gobert has 4 more years on his contract... that's 4 more years he could get injured... we better trade him now when he still has good value.

I kind of said it Joking because of the punching incedent. Mirotic would be the target and he does have a player option for next year but the Jazz would have his bird right and could go over the cap to re-sign him.

If the Bulls did trade for Favors they would start him at center and bring lopez off the bench. Lopez is almost a wasted spot on offense.

I do not underrate Favors at all as he is one of my favorite players but I just dont like the offensives spacing when he is on the court. One of the reasons that the second unit did so well is that they had better spacing with Udoh and Johnson a better fit.

I think Favors is a current center in the NBA with his playing style and he would have a lot more success playing full time at center but since we have Rudy it is time to move on from Favors. It hurts me to think it

It's a team option.
 
Have people been watching Favs has been really good. I wouldn't trade him for a late first round pick right now... it'd have to be better than that.
 
He put the clamps on Andrew Wiggins last night, and he’s almost seven feet tall... Team defense won them the game last night, Gobert just threw the ball away. Favors has looked great

If the jazz are in position to be a #4 or #5 seed, with a chance to win another 1st round series, I think you keep Favors and try to re-sign him. Same with Joe Johnson. Only way I move those guys for picks is if it's looking like the team isn't working out. After what I saw tonight, I don't believe that will be the case if we can stay healthy.

Honestly, right now I think we could even lose Rudy for a while and still remain competitive with Favors and Udoh at center. I've got high hopes of riding the league's best defense and an offense that isn't nearly as bad as people thought it would be.
 
I would be open to trading Faves if it got us back some better offense and still at least reasonable defense at the 4 so it wasn't such a bad thing when he played alongside Gobert.


We definitely need to keep Joe Johnson until he decides to hang them up. He is a Jazz kind of guy, a great influence on the young guys, and a formidable dude to have in those tough moments, the closest to a go-to guy we have right now. Love him.
