That's fine by me. The options were waiving him, trading him for one 2nd rounder or trading him for two 2nd rounders. I'm glad we got two.

Now here are our 2nds the next few years:
2020 - none
2021 - GS
2022 - ours and SA
2023 - ours and GS
2024 - option to swap with Cleveland

Agreed. Here's the thing too is this makes the Jazz looks damn nice because they didn't just cut him. They got him to a preferred destination that needed a starting C (Pels looking damn nice now, BTW) while guaranteeing that deal and getting some small assets. Utah probably did the best they could given the situation, stayed classy, and the did right by a long time player. They did well here.

Great post. I agree 100%. They did right by Favors. That makes me happy.

This is one of the things that doesn't get brought up enough. The jazz continue to treat their players right-giving Exum an above value contract, giving Favors a good contract last year, sending him somewhere he wanted. These moves show the Jazz value their players, which builds a good reputation in the league, and especially with agents, which is honestly one of the more important things for a front office to do.
 
I would have been happy getting one 2nd for Favors as it appeared he was merely going to get signed by some other team after we signed Bojan. Two 2nd rounders is great. It feels nice to accumulate them rather than keep trading them away (Korver Cleveland trade, Conley trade).
 
Man, im really sad favors is going. **** gona make me cry....im about to shart my self.

Mixed feelings about this...but i guess it had to be done...such a hard decision.

But look at how much Wiz got in return for Sato though...

It was common knowledge that we had to let Favors go so we could sign Bojan. Getting anything for Favors was a bonus.

Satoransky was a restricted free agent Washington could have kept. They had more leverage.

Multiple S&T's still a possibility.

Crowder + Korver + Grayson + Rubio: ~$34mm
Total salary Jazz can take back: $42.6mm
Conley + Davis: ~$37.3 (if Phoenix and Brooklyn play ball...)

Favors to Pelicans; Bojan S&T into Favors trade exception (a 4-yr contract starting at $16.9mm w/ 5% raises is worth $72.67mm).

Jazz still have the full MLE and BAE to play with. Unlikely, I know, but I'm still holding out hope.

Jazz should absolutely be working to make this a reality. The money has basically dried up, so having an extra $9.2 million for one player, $3.6 for a second player AND the Burks trade exception would be amazing. Throw as many 2nd and the rest of the cash into making this happen.

You mean this thread? :)

I don't think they are likely though. And certainly nothing like that has been announced or leaked.

edit: and there are at least two specific things the Jazz have done which indicate they are planning to operate below the cap, namely a) sign Boj for almost exactly the amount of free cap space they have and b) sign Davis for exactly the room exception value.

Doesn’t mean that they can’t use the deals that they’ve negotiated in their favor. Use assets to get the other teams on board, and then focus on adding one more critical piece in a compressed market.

I'm sure they're trying.

Does it benefit the other teams at all? Or just us? Because they might not want to help us if they get no benefit to it.
