I think there is a decent chance we regret trading Favors if it happens. But I think I have come around to trading him or at least trading for another starting PF. It seems he will never be fully healthy. Although the Jazz knows a lot better what is going on with him so maybe they think he can be back to how he was early last season. Although the fact that they never seemed to try to work on an extension isnt a great sign. Maybe they are playing him more to get him traded instead of shutting him down for a longer amount of time, who knows.
I would be okay with Love. Although his injuries concern me as well but he could fit well although his defense is atrocious but it cant be worse than Diaw's. Love is going to struggle to guard the PFs of this league. He is going to struggle switching as much as the Jazz do on defense. But he is good offensively. I think I would still take last seasons healthy Favors over him but that guy might not exist anymore.
I dont like him at all and it would be rough to cheer for him but I would be okay with Boogie. If we didnt give up too much to get him that could be the best player possible. He has the most potential to make us title contenders. He also might kill all our chemistry and send the team into the ****ter but I think the risk is worth it.
Multiple league sources said the Magic turned down the chance to deal Nikola Vucevic and either Evan Fournier or draft picks to the Kings
It seems like we could offer that much for him. Favors Burks and some picks? Not quite as good but they Magic did turn down that offer so Sac might take less. Maybe giving up Hood and Lyles?
I have always been okay with picking up Millsap if we dont give up much for him. I dont think we can retain him or should retain him, since he is getting old and will probably get a very high offer. But if we could trade the GS pick or something of that value or lower, great. He isnt going to win us the title this year and he would probably be gone next so its hard to justify him.
I am not sure he is on the trade block but Patterson would be a good pickup if we didnt give up too much as well. He is also a UFA so I would not want us to give up too much.
I dont think they are available but Dieng or Mirotic might be worth a try. Mirotic is not shooting that well this year but maybe having better spacing and a new team would help. I am not sure what it would take.
I would like Ilyasova but I dont think he is up for trade but he is also a UFA. We could pursue him (and many others, lots of PF UFAs) in the off season or 76ers but trade him for very little since he probably leaves in the off season.
Thadeus Young would be a good fit. Pacers are in a win now mode so I am not sure what we could give them that they would want but he would fit well here.
I wish we had just retained Booker. He isnt a stretch guy but we could have really used him this season and his energy.
Wilson Chandler would be a good pickup. I am guessing they are still asking for a first round pick for him.
I dont think Brook Lopez could work with Rudy defensively since neither can guard PFs well enough and/or Gobert should be chasing stretch 4s out to the perimeter anyways. Which is unfortunate since offensively they could work together very well. The Nets might be asking too much for him as well and probably other teams would give up more for him than the Jazz would/should.
Faried would be fun to have but he would probably muck of the offense too much. The same goes for Nerlens Noel, although I think his asking price is too much and they are trading Okafor most likely instead.
James Johnson could be a decent fit. He can play some defense and shoot the three.
I am not sure of anyone else but I am sure I missed a few and a bunch of these are unlikely. Just who popped in my head. Although again I think a healthy Favors is better than most or a lot of these. The Jazz FO know a lot better what Favors is dealing with and his future. We also have to consider he has low trade value so we have to give up other assets to get someone.
