The Jazz really do need a "dog" on offense because Favors and Hayward ain't it. I thought Kanter could be, but he hasn't progressed enough.

Still can't believe Favors is still so young.
Bari is definitely a dog though, on the offensive end you can just tell in his body language he knows he's better than whoever is guarding him.
Footwork like a chubby ballroom dancer.

I'd take Vonleh if he's there, honesty would be thinking about Dougie though.

We're spoiled in NYC. Walked through Central Park before the office today. The women sunbathing had me intoxicated.Nice call, Champ. She's a pretty one. Time to be a Kings fan as well
Wolters has really nice range. Wanted him in a Knicks uni.
I'm well aware Ilyasova stretches the floor and can shoot the ball well for a PF. Sanders has no trade value at the moment and I like Henson's length and defensive ability a lot, even if it is similar or matches Sanders' style of play. Redundant, maybe. Untouchable asset is not a label I would attach with Ilyasova.But you said trade their stretch 4 for a pg so kounmpo can play the 2, while henson & sanders start as the 4-5
Cleveland is winning that proposed deal. Just to drop back four spots. Likely have a possible pick of Vonleh, Randle, or Embiid. Knowing Wiggins, Parker, and Exum will go in the top-4 in some order.
Favors is just 22 with 4 years NBA experience. I'm not ready to give up on him. Burks is a 2-guard, Utah's made a mistake in the past experimenting with transitioning Burks to PG pre-Trey Burke.

There's places he's listed at 245 and some at 265. Neither is near 300 though.

Either way...he damn sure isn't a poor mans Lamarcus Aldridge in game or size.

Favors was in noticeably better shape last season than in ones past. 265 sounds about right.

A long guy that can do work on the block but has limited range (hence the poor man) and is decent defensively...eh just my opinion.

You can tell who watched and who didn't watch Jazz games this year.
Favors is a center.

I guess, I only was watching them more so during the 2nd half of the season when the tankapalooza was on. I see now that Marvin did start 50 games to Kanter's 37 but when Favors and Kanter were on the floor together, who was playing where, cause I always saw him at the 5 and Favors at the 4. Didn't Favors play at the 4 next to Brook Lopez for that brief time in Jersey? And when he did get on the court with Big Al last year?

Taj Gibson and the 2 Bulls picks pls....
I can't believe just a few years ago, Jason Thompson for Jeff Teague was on the verge of happening

They couldn't score enough nor defend together this year.
But yeah, Favors was the power forward with Jefferson last year.

What's the problem with just admitting that you've barely seen Favors play or that the Aldridge comparison was a wrong one?
Favors is a defense-oriented center who rebounds really well, scores off PnR and struggles with his jump shot and in the post. Aldridge is an offense first PF who's not a great rebounder, scores all his points off jump shots and makes a living in the post. Only decent defensively considering his tools.
Almost complete opposites.
