Favors and Diaw
for
Randle, Kuzma, Deng, Thomas Bryant and a lottery protected future first.
Why for LA - they think they will get everybody in free agency next year (fat chance) so they need to dump Deng. Favors is a great player to help LA try to make the playoffs and yet he doesn't have a contract that hurts next summer. Kuzma, Bryant and Randle aren't as important as trying to target bigger fish next summer.
Why for us, and I will list the reasons:
1. Favors probably leaves next year anyway. This is great value.
2. I would immediately flip Randle for a first rounder elsewhere. He is a restricted free agent next summer.
3. Bradley, Kuzma and Bryant are three bigs with great potential with varied skill sets. At least 2 (Bradley and Kuzma) will be on fantastic deals longer than Deng's awful deal.
4. This is a deal to hopefully find a gem in either Kuzma or Bryant but also to gain a future first rounder (2 including Randle).
5. I never want to tank, ever. But this deal allows us to play youth which usually means less wins which would probably mean a better 2018 draft pick.
6. Minor here, but Kuzma is a Utah product which would lessen the sting of Favors leaving for some.
We could play Kuzma, Bradley, Deng, Bolomboy and Bryant at PF.
Thoughts?
