Derrick Favors' family has moved to Atlanta.

He'll be following in the footsteps of Paul Millsap who also left us for the Hawks.

Korver-not directly, Carroll, any others? Jazzmen have done well in Atlanta.
 
We're gonna get Mirotic no matter what this offseason... Probably for something like Burks+2nds or something like that.
 
I may just be naive... I certainly was with our other UFA. I really hope Favors stays. Maybe he wants to have a different or larger role on a team. Maybe he doesn't like it here. I hope he stays. I love his contribution and he has been the ultimate professional through all the ups and downs here in SLC.

But, this news seems to be a pretty strong indication that he doesn't expect to put down family roots in Utah. :(
 
Don't want to be too cynical but l think this streak of good health Favors is having is either a fluke or one of those "contract year things."

I'd be a bit hesitant to give him a raise and another multi year deal with his track history of non descript injuries.
 
Listening to the dunk'd on podcast and right at the end they're projecting around the MLE for Favors, which is 9 or so million and if Utah offers 2/23, it might be his best offer.

Not sure Favors fits into Atlanta's timeline, either. They have one of the Plumlees at 12.5 million a year for awhile. Hard to have that much salary in centers. Works for Utah as Gobert is worth his contract.

Hawks MIGHT be more of a fit if Dedmon opts out. Have to look for that.
 
I glanced over the cap situation of every team and the most sense I saw was Indiana. Would fit their timeline and if Indiana thinks a Turner-Sabonis-Favors rotation would work, they could pursue it. Would fit Favors' desire to play a more PF role and I think he'd mesh with Turner and Sabonis fairly well.

Some money destinations are Phoenix and Sacramento, but I'd be hesitant, say, if either of those two offered 3/40 and he had an offer of 3/36 with last year player option from Utah.

Nets might work, but they've got dead money in Mozgov, and Favors isn't a homerun enough to offset fears of two bad contracts at same position.

I think any other team has other priorities, like Portland with Nurkic, or doesn't fit a timeline with Favors. I mean Favors makes you better, but if you're not competing for playoffs the next two years, why are you signing him?
