Favors on the trading block????

Wow.... I'll leave it at that.

If you think the best Center in the NBA should average less than 50% from the field and rarely get to the line then I believe you need to take a second look at your opinion.

Does he have the occasional great game... Sure.... But at times it is damaging to the offense. When the guy after 8 years finally realized that passing the ball put of the post can HELP the offense overall I wouldn't come close to calling him the best offensive center in the game.

He probably meant that he believes Al has the best post moves of any center in the NBA.

Spycam beat me to it. I think Big Al's the most offensively dynamic center in the NBA. He can shoot, hit that push shot, hit free throws, and make great post moves.
The downside is that he's a blackhole on offense, limited on BB IQ, and doesn't have the athleticsm...but he's got post moves that very few in the NBA have. A lot of centers would kill for that push shot.

But you're right...he is shooting inefficient right now.

I forgot about Marc Gasol though...he might be better at Al on offense actually.
Bynum and Howard both have the shooting problem...so they're not in the running for best offense
Bargarni really doesn't have a down low game
Hibbert is good...but not quite there yet. Bogut is so injured, can't even remember how he played offensively.
.......and I can't think of any other center that is used on the offensive end as much right now...

Yeah I refuse to believe that the Jazz are putting Favors out there on the market. I'm sure the Jazz have been offered packages to give up Favors and maybe that's where any rumors would come from? I just think there's no way we'd put Favors out there unless we were getting a quality young big with great upside which honestly the only one I'd deal Favors for would be Dwight.

Exactly. And I do believe Howard would play for us, as he's really a 'small town' guy at heart. IMO, Favors might be the best deal Orlando could get for Howard. And we have plenty of other assets that could be offered and still not hurt our future. Off the top, Favors and Jefferson and draft picks could land Howard and PF Ryan Anderson, who's a 42% 3 point gunner...

Only way Howard is dealt is if the other team also takes on Turkoglu's contract. No way they include another asset like Anderson. My guess is Orlando would want Favors, Millsap, plus the GSW pick.

The Jazz trade away Deron Williams but now we trade for Dwight a year later? Cmon please it's never going to happen...nor would Dwight resign with us.

Howard + Turkoglu would be near 30 mil; no team in the NBA would be able to match salaries on that and still have a competitive team that Dwight would be willing to sign an extension with. Favors and Millsap salaries are < $13 mil...
We all should know KoC wouldn't trade for Dwight unless he signed an extension, so I never bother to mention it. It's assumed.

Would still be better than Miles.
