We HAVE to make a trade.

Favors shoots a decent percentage from literally one spot on the whole floor when he's wide open. Olynyk is a true stretch player. He's kind of a tweener PF/C, but I think he helps us.

So, he shoots them a lot more for a barely better percentage. How is that a good mark on him?

He's a career 37% shooter who takes quite a few per game. That has earned him a reputation as a guy you don't want to leave open. Teams are perfectly happy to let Favors get off a 3 per game if the trade off is they get to clog the paint and screw up our spacing. Olynyk, if I remember correctly can put the ball on the floor a little bit, and is a much better passer.

He's not nearly the rim protector or rebounder Favors is though.
 
On the average team I might prefer Favors, on Utah where he'll play significant time next to Gobert I pretty clearly prefer Olynyk.

And I love some Favors, great guy.

Favors is one of those guys who is better for the long haul of a season. During the playoffs, Favors would rarely play if we had Olynyk, spacing, etc. I wish we had both honestly.

A man can dream
 
What's the odds of Burks wanting this trade 100%. Probably asked Id say after not getting the start against the Pacers. Quin putting in Royce before him.... Alec has been really good this year. Anyway korver is a really good shooter
 
Don't be surprised when the Jazz make another move. There are quite a few teams struggling that need a change.

^Wizards are going to want a helluva ot more for Beal than Burks and a couple of garbage picks. I imagine their starting discussion would be Mitchell. That's absurd, of course, but Utah doesn't have any lesser assets they'd want. Beal is going to fetch a couple of decent starters and/or a high pick.

Absolutely outstanding move. For once, DL makes a move early.

I feel like this board's discussion picking Lindsay's record apart should get most of the credit.

I'm a moron, too, for thinking Lindsey would only kick the tires at the deadline. If nothing else, this shakes up the team NOW and sends a message that they better perform. Waiting another month or two may habe been too late. Korver isn't a huge addition. But he will open things up. He may even allow Joe to play a bit less. Ingles hasn't been as effective lately. His minutes are up just slightly over last season, but I think we're asking too much of him. He needs fresher legs, IMO. Also means a legit shooter will be at the 3 at all times. Korver is going to get a ton of open looks.

Glad Cleveland went with the youth movement. It was idiotic to give Love that huge deal. Once they lost LBJ, they were never going to be a good team. They should have traded him while they could.

So, since Favors has recently been shooting 35+% from the three and will be left wide open, we need to get him more shots? Works for me.

Having Burks would be one player in a package. Doubt they would want Mitchell they are tanking for Zion.

Yep, I’m guilty as charged too
 
I like Kelly Olynyk but more of a guy we get next year if FA doesn’t work out. He’s primarily be a backup 5, but would be better next to Rudy imo... that’d be a summer move.
