After that retire his #.
Wow what a game. What a season Dfavs is having. Not complains, true pro and a team engine.
And pretty sure playoff time he provides us with something special again
 
If he continues to play well, then the Jazz will either pick up his option or extend him. Not easy to find a 4 who can give us more.
 
Favors is such a critical part of this team. We need to extend him. I don't want to see him in the last year of his contract.
 
I would go 4 years $50 million and guarantee the whole thing. $12.5 is a little bit of a bargain next year but $12.5 years 3 and 4 when he is 30+ will be good compensation for him.

Last year, Ilyasova got $7, Bjelica got under $7, and Randle got under $9. The market will go up this summer, but $12.5 is fair for a guy who plays less than 24mpg.

If the current high level of play continues we need to keep him. He's still not on his career best numbers but he's been having a strong impact lately. I really like favors on the floor while Gobert rests. That's working really well.
 
I think Favors is an excellent human being, a solid basketball player, a gentleman, and a scholar. As much as I enjoy having him on the team, a 4 year, $45 million dollar contract would mean that our team is set as is. A contract like that would mean that we could not add another player as part of a core 'BIG 3' which has been necessary for most championship contenders. If I could have Favors AND Rubio OR Middleton and a Royce ONeal type player, I would go with Middleton. Same goes for Tobias Harris and a number of other players that I think bring 4th quarter clutch to Utah in a way Favors and Rubio don't.

This doesn't mean to take away from Favors as a player or a person but the cost to bring him back goes beyond his contract and ends up affecting our ability to really compete for a championship in the near term. For that reason, I think Favors will not retire with Utah even though I would enjoy watching him for years to come.

Not true.
