They'd likely be down for a Ricky for Ariza swap too. Bigger need get a look at a guy and see if you want to keep him around.
Jesus, we should do that trade so damn fast if they would. That would be like the best trade the jazz ever did.
Favors for Otto Porter straight up makes a ton of sense.
Favors would immediately become their best big and would probably put up pretty good numbers as a full time starting center.
Washington gets an expiring contract and a good fit. Does our trade exception make the salaries match? Also, how do trade exceptions work?
Much obliged.Favors for Porter does make a lot of sense for both teams. However...
- you can't add a trade exception to a player. So we could only use a trade exception to get a player who falls within that amount. So for the Korver exception, we could only get a player who makes $4 million or less.
- so to get Porter using Favors, we would have to add in some salary. Favors + Thabo works. Favors + Udoh + Bradley also works. Favors + Exum works but Washington would probably want to send somebody else back since they are so far into the luxury.
Knowing Ainge, he would want way too much in return for Horford. I do think he'd be a pretty good fit next to Gobert though.
Much obliged.
Favors (expiring) + regular expirings to match salary feels like it should be a fair deal.
January 15th is the issue.

The bigger issue is I don't think we give up the hope of having cap space. I like Porter, but I worry he isn't the lockdown defender (he's fine but not upper tier) and that he is an elite role player but not a creator. If we could sneak Dante in the deal... maybe Crowder and still somehow have some space next year to add some playmaking that'd be great. Like, Grayson doesn't project to be a big playmaker to me so all our future playmaking rests with DM. We need more for when he is out, off the floor, or when the defense decides to hug him.
I don't hate the move. He'd make us better for sure, but that is a lot of our resources to get something we might be able to get on the cheap or in a MLE type player. Like does a guy Danny Green or Ariza give you 80-85% of what OP can give you? Older guys but will certainly be cheaper. I also hear OP might have a hip issue long term... the more I kick the tires on that one the more iffy I get on it.
Dwight is out a while now. That Washington team seems doomed. If Favors could be traded right now, that would be such a great solution for that team. He could potentially bring those guys together, get to play center, maybe even make the All Star team. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25414080/dwight-howard-washington-wizards-facing-surgery
Boston not going trade their best big men. They are not looking at the lottery like Utah. They have championship or bust attitude so they not trading Horford. This another dumb ideaMaybe he would give us Horford if we were willing to take back Hayward too.
... ok. The Celtics are one game up on the Jazz, after the Jazz have had the toughest schedule and the Celtics are in the eastern conference. But whatevs.Boston not going trade their best big men.

A “decent” FIRST for a guy on an expiring contract? Korver is half the price and under contract and the most they could get for him was two 2nds.I think they want a decent first-round pick for Ariza.
wonder what we could get for rubio
