Favors to OKC in works (Update: Traded)

It sucks to give up picks, but it’s all you can do. Will make LT easier to swallow. At least they were kind enough to give us a 2nd from their bag of picks.

DL screwed the pooch and we are selling for pennies on the dollar. It’s a sink cost so move on.

If we are keeping Conley, we are not getting out of the luxury tax.

Exactly. So I don't want to hear another person saying "we are going all in" for a title. You don't shed an asset with a useful player if you are "all in".

And I'm not even a massive believer in Favors, but he can spend minutes guarding AD, Giannis, Jokic, etc.

Disappointing

I am but I’m not. It’s a move that had to happen and I’m excited as **** to see Udoka who has massive upside imo.

It didn't have to happen. We could have just paid Favors and played Doke more.

I'm a big guy always pushing trades, so I'm going to look for angles for how this can be turned into a positive.

We get a trade exception now… but no way we use all of it.

Couldn't the Jazz get more than a 2nd rounder for him?

what were you expecting? OKC is doing us a favor by taking Favors and his bad contract. I do not like giving away draft picks but in this case we had to do it. The only good thing is that first might be very low the next few years and the 2nd we got may be a high second round pick because OKC is still going to be bad for awhile. That is if the 2nd is from OKC. This is a good business move but it could also be a good basketball move if Udoka gets playing time and does well. We have to find out if he can play or not. I just hope this is our front office thinking.
 
We need to see the protections here. We also got a second. I am not sure we didn’t do the equivalent of what Detroit did… moved back 20 spots to get off Plumlees money. Also remember when the Bucks gave up a first for PJ Tucker? They also got a second from Houston… so it was a swap of 24 for 31. It could be we are in the 20s and OKC is in the 30s. I want all the details before I get too hung up. There weren’t a lot of cap space teams and some didn’t want additional salary.

There is an outside shot we suck in FA and don’t use taxpayer MLE… if that happens can we use the trade exception and a second to get Nance? If the rumors are true that is doable.

Easiest prediction ever: Thunder play him regular minutes. He puts up stats on a terrible team. They flip him at the deadline or offseason as an asset.

Yep. They will trade him to some place like Boston for Tristan Thompson straight up and get cap space for next summer. Rinse and repeat.
