Would give up a lot for Davis, including Kanter and both picks. I think a front line of Davis + Favors would just be too good defensively not to win a championship. Would not give up much for #2 on down, just not a ton of difference at #2 and where we will be drafting.

How 'bout this one? Say NOH gets the #3 and #13 picks, and we have #9 and #11. Would you trade our two picks and Millsap for NOH's two picks?

I would consider that trade but I would rather give them Jefferson and keep Millsap. It also depends who enters the draft. Besides I am not that big of a fan of Barnes so it is more than likely I wouldn't do it.

I think Kanter does a better job at times because he doesn't try to block shots, so he just uses his body to plant in front of the rim, but I think Favors is miles ahead of him on the defensive end and always will be.

Highlight defense is possibly the most overrated thing in the NBA.

Fundamentals matter. You defend with your feet first, guarding with your hands and playing for turnovers rarely means an effective defense in the NBA.

Being fair to Favors though, a lot of his blocks come from help D--where you want them to come from.
I agree on Kanter's post D too. Kanter's huge frame allows him more body and feet D than Favors. It's too hard to push him off a spot where Favors can get moved a bit. That changes his D from feet and body to arms and hops.

I wonder if the #3 and #13 would be enough to pry a James Harden type away from a contender with salary issues. OKC isn't in that spot until next year, but maybe another team? The #3 could keep them competitive and under the cap, while a Harden type immediately improves the Jazz, without risk, and while staying young.

I don't think the 9, 11, and Millsap would be as valuable in draft day trades as the 3 and 13.

Is Harden a restricted FA whenever he comes off his deal? If so, maybe. I would maybe do the trade with Millsap just to get Barnes. Then we would get Lillard @ 9.

Trade both picks and whomever for Davis. Trade only one pick and a Vet for picks 2 or 3. There its settled.

 

[BENTLEY]

What about trade one pick and both vets (Millsap and Jeffy) for Davis.

Ugh, it ain't gonna happen. Just hope the Jazz get 2 picks - that may happen.
