What's new

Trade proposed on ESPN

I'm with Hack, Favors is still hit or miss and questioning that now during his 3rd year is a bit scary. Love is a 100% sure bet what you're getting 20/10 at least just about every night. If Favors pans out and is slightly less of a player than Love I still think he could be a better fit here so I'm hesitant on the deal, but at this moment Love is a far superior player.

20/14 more like. Kanter and Love would eat up every damn rebound available.
 
What do you mean proposed on ESPN crater?

Jalen Rose and the guys were discussing trades they think could happen, or would like to see happen before the Rockets/Celtics game. So there's nothing to it rumor wise. Just interesting to get some national opinion.
 
I say no to the trade. I don't like Love that much. He is a fantastic rebounder and a good offensive player but plays NO defense. Love and Jefferson both have 2 assists per game. Al has 1 TO, Love has 2 TO. Love is averaging 35% fg this year, 20% from 3. He is whining and complaining about being in Minnesota. He plays no defense. He plays no defense. He plays no defense.

I have just lived through the Boozer and Jefferson era (hopefully). I have two young bigs who play defense and have potential that can equal/surpass Love. And I know we love to over-rate our players, but Kanter and Favors could be the real deal, unlike so many of the players we have hoped for (Alec Burks). Why would you give that up?

We all whine about wanting top picks, but are ready to throw away one that we actually do have for a very, very good player, but a player that has never led, never won, never done what we want a player to do. Love is a Boozer-type player.

No thanks.

Priority #1 for the Jazz: Get a new coach.

Priority #2: Make sure Al is gone.

After that, the sky is the limit.
 
Would you do this deal if Wolves would take Kanter instead of Favors?

Nope. I just don't think Love is the answer. If they take Millsap and trash for Love it's a go. But if we have to also include a young big then I say no. I see Favors and Kanter as a pretty good front court going forward. Kanter the offensive player with Favors the defensive guy. With both not being completely worthless on the other end of the floor.

Hell I'd probably trade Millsap and Jefferson for Love. But Favors feels like a throw in on that trade. He is worth more than a throw in and so is Kanter.
