Favors was tough as nails and made our 2nd unit hard to beat! I'd love to have him back in a Jazz uniform as he not only knew our system well, he executed it, too!
I agree, but it should be our MO. We should figure out how to get **** done. The GMs listed also are among the most active in the trade market. A sign and trade is not some exotic trade mechanism... 2013-2015 they were fairly common.
The difference is, is that some of these GMs wall into the offseason without cap space and make an offer to a guy with cap space they don’t have, then when they agree they start moving the pieces to make it happen. Hell, it happened with Hayward. The problem is that I don’t believe we’re of the mindset that we make an offer for something we don’t have. I suppose you could argue that we did that with Favors, but that didn’t really require us to trade him because we could have waived him. We’re like the guy who won’t buy a new car unless he can pay cash. That’s perfectly fine. But when there’s an interest rate less than inflation, go ahead. Or go into a negotiating and say “this is what I want” and be ready to put it on a credit card if your check bounces.
