Favors secretly on the trade block?

The Babbit example was extreme on purpose but I believe it works even for much better players. You can throw Ryan Anderson, or Olynyk... and I still don't think the fit trumps the disparity in quality between healthy Favors and those players. To me fit comes into account only when the overall quality of the players we compare is pretty close. That's why for example I didn't mind the talks of Love for Favors in the summer. What I mind is things like Favors for Julius Randle or Favors for mid first. I see absolutely no reason to do a trade like this. I'd rather get 1.5 years of Favors at his current deal and then lose him for nothing than give him up for that laughable of a value.

I disagree on Anderson versus Favs as they sit at their current health situations. I'd be looking at getting a guy like harkless, Wilson chandler, etc. that can switch out on the perimeter, hit an open jumper, and hold position in the post.

Before the nurkic trade would Favs have netted us Harkless and a first or Chandler and a first? I'd probably do one of those deals even though it might be 75% of what we could get at draft time. Say Favs gets hurt at the beginning of the season next year. He then has no trade value and his cap number hurts us... we'd have also poured in 2 years that he didn't help us. I guess we could sign him at a discount in that scenario but I'd be terrified to do that.

Maybe we could trade him for DWill and the circle would be complete.

A couple I know of are Ron Mexico and cappy smurf.
I'm certain there are other too. Of course no is unequivocally against trading him (anyone would do a favors for lebron, steph, davis, kahwi, etc) but there are people who don't want to trade him and think he and Gobert are just fine together.

You don't deal someone at their absolute rock bottom trade value level, especially not if you think they can get better.

Melo isnt coming to Utah, don't be ignorant. And that would be a beyond terrible move even if he did want to come to Utah.

Atlanta isnt trading us Millsap to create a Favors/Howard front-court, don't be ignorant.

I'm perfectly fine just keeping Favors one more year on that absolute steal of a contract, making a deep playoff run, and waiving adios to him in 16 months.
We got nothing for Millsap, nothing for Jefferson, close to nothing for Boozer. And that is not bad management, that is just the reality of contracts for non superstar players.

I consider that the loss of an asset. We could have gotten so much for some of those players, AK and others. Small market contention is striking at the right time and drafting well. If a guy isn't part if the long term plan but you have a roster of guys who are, trade that odd guy out for something to build around the others.
