    Not sure, that's all just a guess. I know at one point last summer he was thinking about just going back overseas.

    IF we were able to sign Kanter to the Tax-MLE (or whatever free agent) and retain Hood for the max allowed of $4.15 million (I know big IF), then we could go over the tax apron as much as we wanted to though. So it's best to avoid using the Full-MLE unless trades cleared more than just a couple million off our salary number.

    That is interesting. Favors could be our center until Nurk returns and makes Kanter not important to re-sign. We could maybe flip him at the deadline too if Nurk was healthy.

    I'd still be mad if Bazley is available at 25 and turns into a good player though!

    We could still buy a 2nd rounder

    Not one high enough to get Bazley and besides last year the cost was a lot greater than cash to get 2nd rounders. There was only one pick last year that was traded for cash and that was pick #52. All other 2nd round trades the cost was at least two 2nd round picks. There were 5 trades like that.

    I guess if he only played center for us it would work. His 21 % three point shooting is not a good fit at PF these days.

    Yeah, I think he's a horrible fit at PF on our team. It's weird that he's only 27, he plays like he's much older than that.

    I would consider Zach the 4 if he and Favors were together.

    Edit: Not that it really matters.

    Spacing would be fine with them together imo

    Yeah, I agree.

    I just read something that Utah has not made Favors available in the Conley talks yet.

    Favors is a center. His best numbers have always been with him at center. He has the size and skillset of a modern day center. He plays PF because the Jazz have a better center and no real PF options (although they played better for most of the year with Crowder at PF instead of Favors).

    So, I'm not the only Blazers Homer on the boards. No way does Houston do that.

    They want Paul gone and Paul wants to leave. Dunn isn’t a bad PG to put next to Harden, and ET+Turner would be rotational players in Houston and then they are off the books. They could lottery/Top 8 protect the pick.
