Favors is our best player. If Lyles gets to be a decent player, you keep him and add him to a big rotation of favors and gobert. That is a big, versatile lineup. Add in a few minutes of small ball with Gordon at the 4, and favors/Lyles playing center, and that is a unique team that matches up with a lot of lineups.

We are pretty set at 3-5 if we can stay healthy. We need more from out guards. Burks/hood are the only kind of sure things we have there, but can they even play full seasons?

Until we know more about Exum, point guard is the biggest need though. Trades should be focused on guards more than anything.
 
I hope you are right.
I'm very worried about favors health however

Agreed. I am very concerned on Favors (and Gobert),

I hope he is not the type of big that misses 30 games a year. That is not helpful.
Same goes for Gobert.
 
That trade that people discussed last summer that involved favors and the #12 pick for the #4 pick looks pretty good right about now.

If that trade was a real thing (probably wasn't) that was actually discussed and had happened then the jazz could have picked porzingas and then went hard after a guy like millsap.

Lots of ifs involved there but Millsap, Gobert, porz rotation would be pretty sweet.

Favors for Millsap was a **** idea then, and is a **** idea now. Nothing has changed in that regard. Favors for Porz would be an amazing trade for the Jazz right now, but a very risky move before the draft, since the guy not developing would mean the complete failure of this rebuild.

Good post.

I'm pleasantly surprised by what lyles is doing right now.

I'm not surprised but pleasantly correct about how withey is playing.

When healthy we should be pretty solid at all positions, including point guard, but point guard/shooting guard should be the area of focus

Who ever said favors for millsap? I was talking about what was being discussed last year. Favors and #12 for #4 and then offer allot of money to millsap in free agency

Then it's irrelevant. Why not offer KD a lot of money in FA? You can't make a trade based around the hope of a player signing with your team as an FA in the future. Favors missing games because of back issues is worrying, but it doesn't change the calculation that much. Favors is a proven player who loves playing for, and living in, Utah. Prozingis was seen as a long term project. Hindsight is 20/20, but it would have been a very VERY difficult choice back then.

Chances were greater of signing millsap last summer than kd. Allot greater. Especially since kd was not a free agent.

Regardless. You said favors for millsap is a bad idea. I was saying that no one was talking about that.
It was favors (and #12) for #4. With the plan to spend a good amount of money on a power forward to replace favors as porz develops. (Millsap being one of the candidates)

As for hindsight, I said in my original post concerning this discussion that looking at things now, it looks like it would have been a good deal since porz looks really really good and favors isn't playing.
I never said the jazz screwed up by not doing the trade (if the trade was even available in the first place) and I never said that I thought they should have done it when it was being discussed last year (though i was one of the few who was saying it should at least be considered)

I Was just playing the what if game and day dreaming

What if Jazz listened to Jeff Hornacek and drafted Leonard instead of Burks?

I wonder if the Jazz failing so hard on that made them listen to Corbin when he vocalized wanting Trey Burke?
