Whos trending upwards and whos trending downwards in the rotation

The beautiful thing about this team is the versatility across the board. So many players who can play multiple positions out there. It's gonna be a fun year.

I don't disagree - but I'm talking about what the FO will most likely do. I'm saying the FO will be inclined not to resign Favors, especially if Gobert and Hayward are retained, if Lyles continues to mature.

Yep the FO wants Favors to walk for nothing. That's their genius plan. We're just too dumb to understand it.

After 2 pre-season games I am 100% sure the rotation is permanently set and will not deviate through the course of the season.

Well, you personally may be.

If you haven't seen how this team has let starting/quality players walk or be dumped for nothing over the last 5-8 years then you haven't been paying attention. And once again, I'm not advocating letting Favors walk; but the pessimist in me certainly sees this coming.
 
I honestly don't know who is trending up or down but it was great to see Gobert making those free throws. Last year had sooo many instances of Gobert taking a dump at the free throw line at the most inopportune moments. Here's to it being a continuing trend.

Seriously, if you can't see the difference between the BEGINNING of a rebuilding phase and the END of a rebuilding phase there really isn't much hope for you. The Jazz were interested in developing their youth, now they are interested in supplementing their youth with vets. Some teams, like San Antonio are able to supplement vets with youth, but our "starter quality" vets weren't great pieces to build a team around. And don't start with "all star" because Eastern Conference All Stars aren't remotely the same thing as Western Conference all stars. If you ship Hayward and Favors back east, they would be "all stars" already.

Favors isn't going anywhere. He isn't replaceable. Not by Lyles, not by anyone. DMC? Replaceable. Kanter? Easily replaceable. Millsap? Replaceable (by Favors.) Korver? replaceable. Foye? wished we would have kept Foye. Foye was good AND cheap. Booker? replaceable, Al Jefferson? replaceable.

If we had it your way we probably would already have lost Hayward and we would be sweating the Favors and Gobert extensions because Korver and Millsap would be making 35 Million (at the least) between them. Jazz saw their future as Favors and Hayward. They spent the money to sign them and will do so again. Just like they will for Gobert.
