Has anyone gone through and looked at likely destinations for him. He is a Georgia boy right? So I think I have heard talk about that.
Are the Jazz at least in the mix?

Atlanta is the intuitive choice but they have Plumlee's horrid contract to deal with at Center and plenty of needs elsewhere. I definitely wouldn't call him a perfect fit on The Hawks.
One team that I can see going after Favors is Indiana. They have zero low post depth and some decent cap space coming into free agency.
I can see them having some success with a Turner/Favors 4/5 combo.
Young has a player option.
He'll most likely be an unrestricted free agent.
Plus he's undersized for a 4 and a below average rebounder pushing 30 . Probably time to move on anyway
If he has all that going against him, what makes you think he'd turn down that $14M PO?
And again, I dont see teams bringing in Favors to play PF.
I think he opts in or opts out with a deal in place that is longer and more overall money... so trades his 1/14 for a 3/30.
Favs is tough... I could see phx or Dallas offering decent money... 4/50ish. His market could be really limited though.
I think the jazz offer a 1 year 12-15M deal if he can’t find anything... not sure we want him complicating our 2019 cap space.
Just food for thought:
The Jazz have been a lot better with Gobert and Crowder as the bigs than Gobert and Favors as the bigs, Favors and Crowder as the bigs, or Crowder playing beside them as the 3.
Then again, I'm on my phone and shooting from the hip. But that's the data I remember when I saw it last (and it was dramatic).

Nah, favors is great at pf offensively and defensively. He overpowers on offense at that spot and is quick enough to keep up on defense. The only issue is he doesn't shoot the three. Although he is working very hard on that. But if you're center shoots threes that isn't an issue.They have Thad Yound and Favs would play behind Turner at C... I dont see that as viable.
Favs is a C in todays NBA. Not many teams but Utah are built to give him minutes at PF.

They can play Favors at the 5 and Turner at the 4 at times depending on the match-ups. Turner's can stretch the floor - he can hit the open 3.
Young's not horrible; but I'd view Favors as a huge upgrade and at probably the same money as Young's option year.
