What's new

Rumor: Jazz want to - and can - acquire Milsap. May trade Favors in draft day deal.

This wouldn't be skipping a step... it would be taking 2 back. Trade 23 year old Favors on a great contract for the uncertainty of maybe acquiring a 30 year old who wants to get paid. Lunacy.
 
Also goes without saying that we don't need to trade for Millsap as he's a FA; if you're offloading Favors, you're doing it because you want to add someone that can be more of a stretch 4 to take over for Millsap down the road.

Burke + Favors gets you Porzingis though I'd counter that Favors is worth more than that.

Exactly it makes no sense whatsoever.

Not gonna happen-- I refuse to believe this rumor even approaches having any truth to it.
 
I want to murder these stupid *** reporters. **** you Jody Gennesy. I will never take him serious ever again. Oh wait, I never did anyways.

This pisses me off because Favors has to listen to dumb rumors again.

This is not happening. There is no way that it does.
 
This angers me so ****ing much. I would be INFURIATED if this deal went through.



- How many good years does Sap have left?
- how many positions can Sap guard? Compare to Fav
- Sap has learned the three-pointer. Great. Fav started hitting threes of play last season-- was Paul hitting threes at age 23?
- Favors somehow averaged 16PPG off of some of the most disastrous PG play in recent NBA memory-- what's Sap's career high, despite playing with the likes of Teague and Deron?
- are we REALLY about to trade the player that has easily been the most LOYAL to this franchise since John and Karl?


**** Jody, and **** his source.
 
If the Jazz think Porzingis is the real deal, I could see them making a deal like this. They'd have to think he's some kind of All World Dirk Gasol kinda player.
 
I don't see the trade that is 'rumored'. It just seems like more baseless speculation since nobody can actually suggest what we are looking for or a potential partner.

At least try and package him for Towns or Porgz. I mean Millsap? REALLY?!

You never trade a borderline all star, top 10 at his position player at the ripe age of 23....on an amazing contract for a possibility,
 
I honestly believe that trading Favors would be looked at down the road in the same way that the Harden deal is now. OKC got hosed and gave up a future MVP caliber player to save money after making other bad financial decisions. And they've compounded that by making even worse financial decisions (Waiters/Kanter) since then.

If the Jazz trade Favors, he'll go on to be a star elsewhere. Of that, I have no doubt. He's on the brink of that now.

They Wouldn't be trading Favors FOR Millsap. They would be trading Favors for something else THEN signing Millsap to replace him. I'd hate to trade Favors. Love that guy like a brother. However, I'm really interested in what is being offered to make the Jazz consider trading Favors. I don't think Porz gets it done. It would have to be a backcourt player or there would be no need to obtain Millsap, right?

Except they'd be trading Millsap to "TRY" and sign Millsap. It would not even be a sure thing. Nothing about this rumor makes any sense whatsoever.
 
Deal might be Favors, Burke and 12 to the Knicks for 4 and Calderon with the target being Prozingis? Then Milsap in free agency?

In what universe is Porzingas any kind of upgrade over Favors. Or even equal to. Or even on the same court. Also Milsap. Also, I call ********. This sounds like a best buy pillowfort deal.
 
If the Jazz trade Favs for Millsap, that definitely makes Utah the official loser of the DWill trade.
