    Denver wants more of a proven younger player.

    New Jersey wants Melo.

    We're in rebuild mode.

    I'd package LaMarcus/picks in this three-way for Derrick Favors and see if we get Denver to bite.

    Favors is raw. But, he's going to be a helluva player when he puts it all together. He's already showing glimpses of it. He's a true PF too, not some softy that shoots face-up jumpers all day and is allergic to rebounding.

    I'm willing to bet you've probably seen Favors play twice. Its okay to admit it.

    Huh? He's a max player for the next 5 years, isn't he? How do you not take this into account for the 'long-term' plan.

    Please don't bring that up. Cho was probably charged with trying to find the best hotel rates for road trips on expedia.com while experienced GMs were vying to trade for Collison.

    Okay so you're saying he's part of the plan because his contract says he'll be here for five years, but

    A) we don't know that for sure

    and

    B) Just because he's on the team doesn't mean he's part of "the plan". Darius Miles was on the team for years, but wasn't part of the longterm plan. We have no idea what Roy's future holds, so we can't assume that he's going to be a part of the future here.

    Favors will be better than Aldridge. Book it.

    I'm bookmarking this post. We'll suddenly "rediscover" it in a couple years.
