Prediction: how many regular season games will Favors miss to start the season

Favors is turning out to be Boozer-brittle. Can't afford to pay everyone max money. With Lyles developing, Favs might be the most expendable, especially since he only plays 70 games/per.

I still think we extend him because I think it raises his trade value. Long term he may be moved but no reason to do it this year.
 
No, I wasn't talking about moving him this year. I think you do it next season IF Lyles is ready to start. And I think he's most tradeable on his cheaper deal. Acquiring team would have his Bird rights, correct? And they could then go over the cap to offer him a higher max than anyone else could.

That makes a certain kind of sense. It sounds kind of like a loser-ish sense, but, ok... I guess that helps me feel a bit better. But a slow start is a slow start.

It worked for Pops resting his stars against good teams but fielding the full roster against bad ones. I wouldn't call his Spurs losers.

Having players with strange lingering injuries worked for the Spurs?

Did you miss the last half decade when Pops rested his old men against contenders in the regular season? Of course we don't want an injury to Hayward but better it happens when we are playing tough teams than not.

There are games that you can afford to lose and there are games that you cannot. It's not a loser mentality to recognize that. It's smrt.

Those old men were practicing and with the team in every respect. They sat because they were with the team. There are important differences.

I've admitted that you've found a silver-lining; were you also hoping I'd forget about the dark cloud?
 
Maybe Favors injury is really serious but the Jazz are keeping it hushed to prevent season ticket sales from decreasing.

Or maybe I'm overly cynical.
 
Maybe he's not hurt and has improved so much this off-season we simply want to unleash a huge surprise on the league this coming Tuesday.
 
I just think back to last year when he was out 2 months with the case of a bad mattress.

I can't imagine how everybody isn't thinking back to the exact same thing. Thus, this thread.
 
Without being able to run/practice when Favors does come back he's probably going to need a month or more to get in shape. I remember him casually jogging down the court a bunch a couple of seasons ago... we're going to see a lot of that.
