Guys like Favors and RoCo are pretty high character guys, there are more high character guys around the league, we don't have a monopoly on them all. Also, sometimes a little controversy whips guys into shape too. NVE taught us that.

There is talk that he might be a casualty of Zion's return. He's on an expiring contract that is over his current value. Trade for him now, and if he is a guy that is working out through 1/2 of a season with us (and into the playoffs), re-sign him for a $12-15M contract. If not, look for sign and trade options or let him go. It wouldn't take too much to get him. Lee and 1 or 2 seconds (he was traded from Utah for cap space and 2 seconds).
Favors would be an amazing get. I promise you that Utah misses him. They were in a tough spot bc of his lack of fit with Gobert. In Dallas he would fit perfectly next to KP. Doncic, DFS, KP, Favors and yes THJ is a lineup that I think can contend this year. The beauty of THJ is that if he's not hot Rick keeps his minutes in the 20's and goes more to Curry and/or Brunson. I have yet to see any link of the Mavs to Favors (even since last summer) and I have no idea why. Mavs like hybrid 4/5's and Favors is perfect in that role alongside KP bc he plays 5 on offense and can guard 4's infinitely better than Powell.

A DeShawn Stephenson, Chris Boucher, Patrick Beverly, Bruce Bowen, Draymond Green, Matt Barnes.
Just one dirty little secret to disrupt the flow of other teams if necessary.
Most dirty player on the team is JJ. He would have saved us tonight.
I don't know if Iggy is dirty or not but he would have saved us last night and in many other situations. You can throw him on the other team's best player for 15 min a night and he would make their life extremely difficult. Even at his current age I promise that LeBron or Paul George or any star is excited to see Iguodala out there.
