Favs Reunion

[NUMBERICA]

Yup, things MIGHT be different with DM, Ingles, and Bojan slinging from the perimeter.

Correct. Might.

 

[NAOS]

Correct. Might.

My gut tells me we would have been a better team this year if we were starting Favors instead of Conley. I know that has glorious levels of hindsight, but the point is the substitution of Bricky with Bojan and then run it back.

true, but I don’t think we ever get Bojan if it wasn’t for us already getting Conley.

I'd love to have Favors back, but I thought this thread was going to be about a favorite Jazz players reunion. Or favorite Jazzfanz posters reunion. Slightly disappointed.

I disagree. But this board has hashed this out. Dead horse.

 

[Park Bites]

if we could get Favors back i might not be to upset f we traded away Robert. Sorry don't throw things to hard at me

Andy Larsen said something similar in a reddit AMA about a month ago. I miss Favs...

Q: Andy, if the salary cap is dropped next year, do you think the Jazz would prioritize re-signing Clarkson or using the full MLE on a quality player? Or just go into the tax and do both?

A: The obvious answer to that is "Depends who the player they can get with the mid-level is." I honestly think they have a real shot at getting Derrick Favors with the full 4-year mid-level if they want... do you try to keep Clarkson, go for Favors, or both? Both might be the best answer.

Q: I love Derrick Favors as a person and as a player, do you think him coming back to the Utah Jazz is an actual possibility? I hated to see him go and I think we are missing a player with his calliber in the current roster.

A: I do think it is an actual possibility, yes.

 

[Getting Traded]

I'd love to get Favors back, but you should realize he probably can only play 20 minutes a game over the long term because of his back. And I think that would fit with us perfectly.

I wonder if a lot of this could be as insurance in case we feel compelled to trade Gobert. Incentive even.

What were Favors’ advanced numbers like the last couple years here sans Gobert?

That's a myth

Very good. The Jazz also had a bad record without Gobert but Favors plays wonderfully when he has space and isn’t overplayed.

Like last time, I think Favors will be more valuable to another team than the Jazz. He played center for the Pels and played it well with a 19 PER and averaging 14.7 rebounds per36.
I don't see him dropping from 17.6 million a year to 8-9 million a year.
