This is one of those times I REALLY wish you were wrong....

Jazz likely have two former lottery picks each earning about 10 million, and neither could net a 1st rounder back to the Jazz.

Good luck Mr. Lindsey.

If that's the case you don't trade him(I don't think that's the case, I think he should EASILY get you a first round pick unless medical examination reveals he's likely to never be healthy again). He's more valuable as a back up 5 than a second rounder that might or might not even make the team.
 
In 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 Favors averaged 16 and 8 with around 1.5 blocks. He's only 25. And his contract isn't long or expensive. We could acquire a first round pick for him. Probably a top 15 pick. Hell Marco Belinelli was enough to get a first last year lol.

Yeah but then life hit him hard, specifically in the knees and lower back. That combined with the fact that he is probably a 5 long-term in a league that has a surplus of young and talented 5's.

We should keep him in a contract year. We are all in a position to win here, including Favors. He's hungry and needs and monster year. We can either use his highly motivated play or his expiring contract.

I agree with everything here.

One thing that helps his value is he is extension eligible. A team under the cap could acquire him and give their excess cap space to him now and extend him for 3 more years. They could wait to do so. Outside of BKN and maybe Orlando I'm not sure who might be under the cap and have interest. Philly has too many bigs right now... Maybe Sacramento though WCS & Favs is a bad pair.

that was widely viewed as a terrible trade, so not the right example imo.
 
Good news the Lottery happens tomorrow and we can actually start looking at mocks with team needs starting wednesday I hope. I will start working on mine.
