Favors takes down all Jazz related stuff from his twitter

Well, what would be the optimal pairing? You need a stretchy big who can play defense at least at the level of Favors. Prime Ibaka? Millsap? I guess I would agree, but I definitely wouldn't throw out this pairing for players that are severely lacking skill and/or defensive ability. Quality always beats fit IMO, unless the quality is very close.

Probably Patrick Patterson, as far as realistic pairings. He could be had for MLE?

Do you know they gave the Cavs an 11% chance to get out of the East prior to the playoffs? LMFAO

That's based on their numbers. Would you agree that the Cavs and LeBron specifically doesn't particularly care for the regular season? If LeBron played at the same level in the regular season both their win/loss record and net rating would be much better in the regular season. He just doesn't care and the performance of his team is not representative of the real quality of the team. This is not true for huge majority of teams.

Patrick Patterson IMO is not good enough to replace the value Favors gives this team. That's why the Raptors went for Ibaka to replace him when they could. Patterson's a better fit for us, but he's not a better player than Favors(not even close) and wouldn't give us better results IMO.

In RealGM's mock off-season I got him for the MLE, but I think in real life he will probably get better offers.

This is clearly true.

I thought Favors did a lot of his best work in that series at the 5 (didn't he?).

So, IF the Jazz trade favors do they need to find a replacement starting pf and replacement back-up center?

That seems like a difficult task. I hear the reasons for trading Favors, I get it, but boy does Lindsey have a task to fill in those voids.

I think you trade Favors for an asset and sign Olynyk. He can play PF next Gobert as well as Favors and gives us a more athletic C option if Gobert needs a break or we need to spread the opponent out.

Olynyk + Favors asset is better than Favors.

We won a playoff series against a good team while starting a 35-year old Boris Diaw at PF. I think we can figure something out.

You cannot sign Olynyk. The Jazz don't have capspace.

The Favors/Gobert believers can hang their hat on net rating all day, but its clear Quin does not believe in it.

He did when Favor's was healthy. Favor's was not healthy at any point last season so you can't look at last season. Before that they played together a lot and played very well together by any standard.

Health is by far the biggest factor with Favor's. His contract is the second.
