I'd trade Favors to Cleveland for their Brooklyn pick.

Cleveland is over the cap, they need to send something back that would be close in salary.
Kill the messenger!!!
I was going to say Korver and the pick for Favors, but see that Korver is not available to trade for some reason.
My hope is for the current players to figure it out on the court, then worry about the offseason in the offseason.
I don't think that is possible. Rubio, Favors, and Gobert cannot be on the floor together.
He can't run pick and rolls with them?
Rubio has been god awful. I wish you could have watched all his games this year. I was prepared for the poor shooting. Ironically, he is shooting better than he has over the course of his career. Defenders do not guard him at all. The Timberwolves game was embarrassing (watching his former team refuse to take a step towards him and watching brick after brick get launched). His assists are at career lows.
No one is leaving Rudy in a pick and roll. They are abandoning Rubio and just letting him shoot. And, Rudy's screen assists are AWOL now.
And, Favors, Rubio, and Gobert's defense hasn't been all that great either.
I think we have to stick with Gobert. I think he is playing really poorly right now, but have the belief that it is because he is coming back from an injury. I think he'll get back to form. I personally think he should have stayed out longer to heal completely. But, maybe he was worried about the kinetic energy and success of the lineup as it was rolling without him (didn't want to get left off the train). The offense for 10 games was beautiful. Favors was playing beast mode. The difference is night and day, Favors with Gobert and Favors without Gobert.
There was synergy with Favors, Jerebko, Ingles, Alec, Thabo, and Mitchell. They were showing as ball movers. Gobert, Hood, Johnson are ball stoppers. And, I see Rubio as more of a stopper. He dribbles a lot and I'm not seeing the play making that I had anticipated. Lots of turnovers.
11-35, 4-21 (3s). Stupid Mitchell, Ingles, and Crowder shooting. I mean, adding Jerebko and O'Neale's 2-6 would improve their percentage!
Does this post belong in the "Worst Team In Sports" thread? They played like it by losing the lead.
No, only because Houston is one of the best teams in the league and we've beaten most of the rest. We have beaten Cleveland, San Antonio three times, Toronto, Golden State, Boston, etc. There was a graphic on the TV when we had 28 wins saying that we had 19 wins against teams above .500. I think that does not speak well for games against those below 500, but I can't put them in the worst category right now. We have won 12 of 14 and 14 of 18 or something. I'm going to the Timberwolves game this Friday so they better win that one.
Thanks.
I thought you might take it more personal, losing to Houston, since you don't like them.
Thanks for the heads up.
The Minnesota game is also on ESPN! So I can watch along with you!
Do you know your overall lifetime record at Jazz games?
