Favors and our offense

[BabyPeterzz]

Good grief. Any reason why?

Resting him on back to backs.

Of course, the point is you don't trade Favors "to get better", you trade Favors because you won't be able to keep him once you pay Hayward (max) and Hill (not max but expensive, say 4/70or80 or so) and you need to cash in now to get some pieces (back up defensive big and a youngster + a pick for example) or face having to just let him walk in 2018. It would by no mean be a happy decision to make...

Sign everybody. Players have far more value signed than unsigned. If you are contending, pay the luxury tax, if things are not working out, trade someone for max value (because they have years remaining on their contract.) You don't pay the luxury tax until AFTER the trade deadline, which puts us out until March 2019 if we extend Hill and sign Hayward and Favors before we have to make a solid decision about anything. It may be that Hood progresses to the point that Hayward is the one traded. March 2019 is a long time away.

Signing good players to big contracts is not a problem, ever. Signing sucky players to big contracts is what will kill you.

How is this even a question after Gobert and can't-shoot-worth-a-damn Diaw are huge parts of one of the most efficient offenses? Quin has found a way to defeat stretch 4 offenses.

Favors was the post player while Kanter was stretching. Now it seems Favors needs to stretch so gobert can do his thing.

4 out one in, Favors or Gobert in the duck in role. 5 out double high post. Slice option. Favors can play the center role that Gobert is killing, where they reset the offense by Gobert running the 4-1 to high screen and rolling. I think Favors would finish even better than the league leader in FG%. SM into HORNS.

Utah doesn't need to stretch.

Of course, the problem is that usually you sign a good player to a big contract and he becomes sucky in the lifespan of his contract because of decline, injury, whatever...

I get what you are saying though. If when Favors comes back long term it all fits well and the team is really rolling well. Well the FO is better of trying to keep it all together and take a chance on something great, they can always unwind some of it later indeed.

And if we were a top-tier team doesn't anyone think the Jazz FO might be willing to venture into luxury tax? Is that too far out of the question?

Hope so - but I doubt it.

I think they would go into the LT up to almost 10 million. I doubt they would go any further than that, as the penalty gets pretty steep at that point.

Greg Miller said the Jazz will never go into the luxury tax again as long as his family owns the team.
