Favors secretly on the trade block?

I would trade Favors! His knee issues are a symptom of a much bigger issue; his back. He is still young, but the trajectory of games played to games played effectively can't be ignored. He's been useless in 50% of the games he has played this year, as opposed to only about 30% last year. He is not a great fit with Gobert, and in Utah there's talent left at the end of the money. I say ship him.

But he has been on the team a long time, was part of what we believed to be the core 4, and he really likes it here... I don't think we are allowed to trade him.

Seriously though things change. I don't think we need to force something but I don't think he turns into young Dwight Howard or Aldridge or antonio mcdyess or whatever other comp we had for him.

Sometimes guys can get traded... it happens.
 
I say trade him so you know it alls will talk about something else. All these trade Favors threads are an annoyance. You all don't know ****. Back problems causing IT band syndrome. Wtf are you talking about? Forget it. Just trade him already. And why your at it. Trade Burks along with him. Cause he doesn't fit and his *** is causing his ankle issues. And he's been hurt for 2 years and won't ever be the same. So glad you couch GMs don't run this team.... your opinions are out of this world bat **** crazy .

Umm. If 50% useless. What have his backups been? 80% useless? So what gives us better play? 50% of the time or 80? And his back is the cause of his IT band syndrome?? What?

So we trade Favors who is hurt and bring in someone to take his place? And this other team is going to want our PF who is useless 50% of the time? Or are we going to rely on LYles? I mean we are stacked and the 4. We have guys just ready to step in and produce. I mean that 80% is just a fluke and they will play better in the starting roll right? Against NBA starters? Great let do it then...

I don't know the details, but weren't a lot of people saying we had to make a choice to keep Favors or Hill financially?

Obviously, Millsap might not be the answer right now, given he is a UFA, but you have to start looking at Favors trades this year. Even if he's healthy, there is a chance we don't get to keep him due to financials. His value might not be high now, but I think it is likely that whatever value he gains from being healthier, he loses in becoming an expiring next season. If you're talking about wanting to be better for the 2018 season, then there might be value in getting a player now, and letting him develop chemistry over the remainder of the year so he integrates better next year.

Again, a lot of this hinges on whether there is a good trade to be found for favors, and you definitely want to keep him over selling him for pennies on a quarter (since Favors isn't at his peak value right now anyhow). Still, I think you have to at least start thinking about it.

Contenders for what? A second round showing? Sorry, but these last three games, just as I feared (as I worried about these three in another post pre-Dallas tipoff) has shown me that we are not nearly as good as I, or maybe even many of us, thought we were.

We are still the same good as I thought we were. 4th, 5th, 6th, ish seed. Maybe a first round win or hard fought first round loss.
I have felt this way about the jazz from game one until now.

Why does Miami want to pair Whiteside/Favors?

I would guess for the same reason many jazz fans don't want to trade favors and want to pair favors with gobert.
