You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

You’re right. Neither of you “know”. But not all predictions are equally likely. It is far, far more likely that Favors leaves if we waive him.

I agree with that. I do agree that it is very likely that Favors moves on if we waive him. My point is that it's not impossible to bring him back after waiving him. It all comes down to how much we can give him and how much he wants to be here.
 
Who else could we sign to start at PF or be our sixth man (assuming Crowder starts) for $12 million per year if we get Russell? Are we back to looking at Niko, Jabari, etc at that point?

If we lose Favors because of Russell, we have the following guys who can play some minutes at PF:

Crowder
O'Neale
Ingles
Niang

There are a bunch of guys we are looking at in the draft who could also play some PF.

I don't think we have to spend too much to make sure we have adequate PF coverage. Maybe somebody like Ed Davis, Vonleh, Taj Gibson or even Jerekbo. We could try to get Jabari, but I don't know if we could afford him AND Russell.

I'm guessing it was not Rubio/Crowder for Dragic straight up... I'm also guessing it may have been discussed but doubt it was ever close.

Yeah, I saw this yesterday being talked about in a Miami article. That trade would have been awful. Now if had been Rubio and Thabo or Rubio and Udoh, I could see the value. Utah would have upgraded the PG position and Miami would have shed Dragic's money for 2019-20.

I'm really glad that trade didn't go down.

I did some checking when I saw that yesterday. No credibility as that guy pulls stuff out his *** all the time. Miami fans were telling that guy eat a big bowl of Shut The Fudge Up.

Nothing about it seemed really truthful. That would have added salary for Miami and Heat made a few moves to duck the tax at year end.

I think we have interest in Dragic if we strike out. I think they would like to be off of his money. If it was our second or third good sized move I could be okay with it, but Goran may just be completely washed.

And that's why we don't get anywhere. We've had how many years for Favors to provide an outside game or work to create some kind of offensive game.

Sometimes, being a Jazz fan can be so frustrating. Is our goal to outscore teams 75-73 every game? Is defense the only thing that matters?

It's probably true, but also remember Favs is TJ's guy. He's gonna cape for him.

Randle is fairly intriguing at the right price... seems like a mature hard working young man. Married with a kid so he might be the type that prefers Utah's family friendly slower vibe.

He should be on the list for consideration... I understand the defense ain't good. Can it get to average or okay... because he adds some things that Favs doesn't. Unless someone wants Favs on his one year deal, waive him and move on. Give a few million extra to Ed Davis... now you have your great backup center. If we really wanted to keep Favs do it last offseason and move on from Ricky. To move forward we have to leave some good things behind.
