Would you trade Favors for Love?

Hmmmmm. I'm not even disagreeing, but poll NBA fans around the country. I bet 90% of all non Utah fans say Love is better.

Where does it end?
Favors for Kawhi?
Favors for Durrant?
Westbrook?
Davis?
LeBron?
Lilliard?
Would you guys do that?
 
I ****ing hate Love. For some reason I've never ahem, loved his game. Something just seems off about him in general.
 
Kevin Love was the most overrated player in the NBA. Put him on the Jazz and he will again become the most overrated player in the NBA. I would do the trade because he could land us a number one pick in a loaded draft. I have no interest in Love outside of asset accumulation.

However, Gobert can cover all of Love's deficiencies and Love can cover all of Gobert's. He also fills that go to guy role we lack, while taking some serious pressure off Hayward. Gobert-Love-Hayward-Hood_Teague would be a fun WCF finalist loser to watch. I'd rather have Conley for the defense as that's the key here, but I'm afraid he's going into decline. Conley is gettable BTW.
 
On bad teams. With decent rosters and coaching. Boozer at least was a cornerstone of a very, very good team year in and year out. Also, keep in mind what happened when he was replaced by Al Jefferson.

Love dominated on his own. Boozer dominated being set up in a solid offense. The two are in separate tiers. Maybe two between them.

That's not coming from Boozer leaving us jealousy either. What you're saying about how good Booz was here is spot on. He still wasn't Love, not close.
 
Nope. Not even a consideration. Don't you all remember Boozer's defense? When you're a playoff team and you're playing an offensively-gifted team, you're going to need to impede them when they're on offense. Guys like Boozer and Love can't do that. He may score and rebound but Favors keeps improving and plays defense.
