I really hope Favors returns, and I think it's probably about a 50/50 chance at this point. However, for the sake of fun with speculation, in the following I'm going to make the assumption he's not. A few ideas (second two are super reachy, reckless speculation): Jabari Parker - I'm definitely...

I'm just excited for Exum to win MIP next year. But in all seriousness, I think he's gonna be fine. We are all getting ridiculously spoiled by Donovan, but remember that young players often struggle in the playoffs. Dante is only a year older than Donovan (who is clearly a freak in his maturity...

Nooooo... This is literally the exact opposite of what we want. The Jazz have been feasting off forcing him into the mid-range. Last game is just something that can happen when you're dealing with superstars.

Hoping to see that caps-lock on Donovan's ritual pregame tweet... LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Tonight was a disaster, but I can't help thinking it wasn't for nothing. The referring was awful, I agree, but I don't think that can be pointed to as the root issue. The guys simply lost focus; they were thinking about Houston halfway through the third quarter, just like Matt and Boler were...

There is an undeniable qualitative difference between simply identifying a prospect as such, and singling out a prospect as someone you want a team to pursue. Cy is being complimented for doing the latter, and you are trying to draw an equivalency with your having done the former.

Can't even avoid posting half a dozen names when trying to claim 'first' on one particular player.

Gordon Hayward is about to be ditching his KDs for Donovan's signature shoe next year.

I think it's a pretty apt descriptor, as far as analogies go. And with clarification, it shouldn't be anywhere near this much of a problem. Plus, defending your use of a particular analogy can be half the fun of making it, in the first place. Frankly, it seems like the real issue here has more...

I think that if there is a chance to work a S&T deal with the Bucks, the Jazz should take a shot at it. Assuming, of course, they feel confident they could get his defense improved with some good coaching/solid system. I don't like the idea of playing the 'let's offer a contract they won't...

I have nothing against you, and nothing aligning me with Cy, but honestly your remarks in this thread are coming off as a kind of desperate grasping at a perceived opportunity to deride someone who was mean to you on the Internet. I don't think it's coming off in the way you think/hope it is to...

Doubling down on hyperbolic 'math' as being factually accurate is an interesting move...

Yea, I'm not sure who to believe. But it's interesting.

He recently refuted the 18mil offer in an interview. Made it sound like they offered significantly less. Edit: first reference I found searching for this:

It's kind of a shame they ended up winning the coin flip for their own pick. I feel like this would have been much more feasible if they went without it.

It may be foolish, but I still really think Exum has a shot at rising to the occassion.

Yup. Nothing to discuss here. Trash thread. 100%

Footie*

The whole thread has turned into a discussion on the semantics of football analogies. Anyone want to bring another sport into the conversation?

Also - no one is questioning Donovan's toughness, or desire to play. I posted myself in the game thread about how wonderful it was seeing him so determined to get back in the game after Quin pulled him. It's great. But it's silly to think the front office and coaching staff aren't considering...
