Trade Favors Before Long

I would be open to trading Faves if it got us back some better offense and still at least reasonable defense at the 4 so it wasn't such a bad thing when he played alongside Gobert.

I have yet to hear who that player is though. Even if Ryno was on a decent contract, I don't think his 3 point shooting would make up for the loss defensively.

Also, for people who are convinced that Favors can't play next to Rudy because of spacing, I've noticed the last two games that Favors has been standing at the 3 line, and then when he gets the pass, he takes one step in and shoots, and he's been hitting those shots at a decent clip. I hate long 2's, but if he's that more confident shooting there and he's making them, that makes him just as effective spacing wise. That one step in to shoot is negligible, in terms of spacing.

I will concur with this observation.

If he can shoot 45% on those long twos, there is no reason he can`t shoot 3s at 30+%.
 
He's scoring at a career high 18.7 per 36 and his assists are waaaaaay up but his rebounding numbers are abysmally low. Just 4.8 per 36. Any idea as to why if he supposedly looks so good?
 
The Jazz rebounding numbers are down as a whole. I think it is in part due to the fact that teams are averaging about 18 turnovers per game against us. We’ve also been giving up some offensive rebounds.
 
we've been shopping Dfav for like the last 3 years

Apparently everyone wants him for a only a 2nd round pick so we've kept him - he's a high character guy, kept a good attitude throughout, can u imagine trading him for a nigel williams goss or a bolomboy? Glad we've held on to DFAV

Once upon a time the Jazz had a player named Jeff Malone who they valued so much they traded him. If the Jazz can find a better fit, they need to trade Favs. Udoh has taken away Favs' role as a backup 5. Favs simply doesn't fit next to Gobert. And he'll be too expensive to keep. Jazz can't pay everyone. Just add up the salaries for next season and put in even conservative numbers for Hood, Exum and Favors. That puts the Jazz significantly into the luxury tax. I'd rather see Utah offload Favs and try to keep Joe Johnson.

Favors shooting long 2s is exactly what most teams want. That's simply a terrible option.

Yeah he was broken. Of course no one wanted to part with an all Star for a broken favors. But if he puts in some good time and we can get good value for him I think we should consider it.
