A Favors/Gasol combo doesn't make your mouth water? Offensively it is not a top tier combo, but they would clear up a lot of the defensive mistakes from the other guys. It would be a nasty combo.
You may be thinking of Wilson Chandler who doesn't have an opt-out in his Chinese-league deal.
I'm just as happy with a Favors/Kanter or Favors/Jefferson combo. Happier, actually.

I am so happy that this thing is nearing an end. Here is a little tidbit about the Jazz plans are for the FA market.
According to Brian T Smith
"Utah’s coaches have been meeting for months in preparation of the lockout ending and the 2011-12 season finally starting. Corbin has evaluated the pros and cons of changing Utah’s playing style, and the team already has free agents targeted."

I really like Marc but how much of Gasol's success and/or the team's was due to Randolph eating up space?

The part were it says "Where are The Jazz" gives a good idea what the Jazz can do. Basically says Utah has 10 million dollars to spend before hitting luxury tax. They could amnesty someone like Okur, and make that 20 million for 3-5 players.
So if we amnesty Okur, we could sign a 9 million a year FA.

Earl Watson is a so-so backup? WTF are you talking about? Earl Watson was the best backup PG the Jazz have had since Stockton was backing up Green.

I know this is a free agency thread, but, I think Okur for Farmar and Petro and a draft pick of some sort makes sense. I like Farmar, I think he'd be an excellent option as a backup PG, able to start in a pinch. Why would NJ do this? They clear cap space for a Dwight Howard run.

I will get destroyed for this, but why not keep Okur let him expire, and spend the money next year when we have roster spots open, and see what the young guys can do now, or if he proves he's healthy resign him cheap and still have money to spend.

I kind of agree with you. It hard to see the Jazz as major players in free agency this year, there are just too many questions with our young guys. Let’s take this truncated season and see what the young guns look capable of and then play the free agent market in the summer.

Thats what I've wanted from the start.
If we went after a backup PG not named Watson, I would be down for making a run at Shannon Brown.

Same. This is no time to panic or get hasty. Just play it cool, and get a better feel for our young nucleus before making any big trades or signings. For now, the only necessity is signing on a backup PG and making another small signing so we can reach the minimum player count.
