I agree, but that's just where we are. Our 2nd best player is a unique defensive center with offensive limitations. We can win a title with Gobert, but we have to protect him and surround him with incredible offensive weapons.Center shouldn’t be the 1st or really 2nd most important position for any team though in 2019.

I agree on a couple points. At $18 million, Favors hurts us. However, bringing him back at no more than $13 is fine. I also feel that starting him doesn't get the best out of Gobert.I agree that we need to surround Gobert with offensive weapons, which is why I think we'd be better off letting Favors go. Having Favors in the starting lineup is hurting Rudy on offense and Mitchell for that matter. We need to have a shooter at every position but center. The spacing with Rudy and Favors on the floor together is awful. I would much rather use the $18 million we're paying Favors to try and improve the offense.
How much more flexibility are we really maintaining by signing him to a lower value? And again, he doesn’t have a team option. He’d have to clear waivers to be able to re-sign him.I agree on a couple points. At $18 million, Favors hurts us. However, bringing him back at no more than $13 is fine.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't bring him back. The guy is the ultimate teammate and backup for Gobert. He can play some minutes next to Gobert too. I just don't think he is a guy we throw away.
Trade Exum? Sure, I get the logic. Trade or waive Korver, same thing. Keeping Favors at $13 should be one of the summer goals. There are other expirings we can trade to make deals.

We have $33 million without Favors, Rubio, Thabo and Udoh. Add in Favors at $13 then subtract retiring Korver and we have $27 million which is a lot. If we waive Korver, we have around 23.5. We aren't getting a max player here but $23.5-$27 million could be used wisely.How much more flexibility are we really maintaining by signing him to a lower value?

What’s your plan for him clearing waivers? He’ll be snatched up by some low bidders and be labeled Waivers Favors.We have $33 million without Favors, Rubio, Thabo and Udoh.

DL better have my moneyWe’ve kicked the can as far as it can go. DL is becoming the friend who keeps promising that he’s got your money you loaned him. “I’ll have it by next week. I promise this time!”
He does. Next week. For reals.DL better have my money

If DL is wanting to bring guys back for the feel-goods, I hope he remembers how good it felt to get swiftly bumped off in the first round.
No they wouldn't. They wouldn't beat PortlandIf this team got in the other side of the bracket they would have gone to the WCF
So is that what you’d bank an entire year on — getting a favorable bracket?If this team got in the other side of the bracket they would have gone to the WCF
