Favors 3yr/27M

Oh and yeah my post earlier when it first came out at 3yr 30 saying I'd like it 1-2mil less, and behold it is. The next reports by Woj (instead of Shams) say 3yr 27mil with last year as player option.

So yeah 9mil per year...
 
I'm actually really excited about this. If we had kept Favors last year we couldn't have signed Bogey but now we have them both! We now have 48 minutes of rim protection once again and one of the best pick and roll combos in the league in Ingles/Favors. Also, our biggest weakness last year, our bench, is going to be so much better this year.
 
The Jazz FO has been repeatedly saying that they think the biggest issue we had this year was defense. Last year we had an elite defense. This year when Rudy was on the floor we were very good and we were way below average when he was on the bench. The offense is fine with last years additions of Bogey, JC, and MC. This should not surprise anyone who has been listening to the FO narrative. This is a team committed to the notion of rim protection as the basis of their defense. And you now have a young developing C who can be the number 1 or number 2 guy depending upon what happens with Rudy and Favs.
 
I think playing favs with Conley will help conleys game also ...

Play the high pick and roll Favs rolls the basket so easy and will enable Conley to pass or just pick and pop ...

No offence Rudy but we have missed Favors hands
 
So we drafted a player in the first round who will likely play in the G-League for 3 years. Great! Amazing! What a masterpiece by Lindsey and Zanik!

And this is coming from someone who absolutely loves Favors. This off-season has been attrocious.
 
Yeah, it seems we have really invested in the center position at the expense of getting any big, athletic wings. Without addressing the lack of athletism we can once again pencil the Jazz in at 50ish wins, somewhere between the 4-6th seed, and a first round exit (second round if we get lucky).
 
So... is Wood going to go less than Favors?
