Derrick is tweeting like someone who is coming back.

 

[TheStormofWar]

Yeah, he's probably back.

So..... Dante?

So let's do a count. How many teams have money to offer Favs at least $15M/year?

Chicago and Atlanta have cash to spend. But it isn't just about the highest bidder. Favs feels under utilized and probably a bit unappreciated. If a team were to offer him more PT, and hence a better chance to up his stats, I could see him accepting a 1-yr deal to try to build his value for next season.

I think Bolden would be included in a Kawhi trade. I doubt they're looking to trade him to just anyone for a future pick.

Dante... should it be strange we haven't heard more about that?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong:
Qualifying offers and RFA... how it works is, you make him a QO at a predetermined amount, (roughly $5 mil, in this case) and that gives you the rights to match any offer. If he doesn't get offered, you have to reach a deal OR he plays on that QO for one year and becomes UFA next year, correct?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

So it limits our options now?

Our options were already limited... I think it’s the right move but I think we need to cut Udoh if Favs comes back... use the exceptions and get someone on a 1+1.

 

[Hitman]

It doesn't take 5 hours to meet with a guy who has been on the team for 7 years.

My guess is that the Jazz may be working a sign-and-trade.

Really? You think Dennis and Quin are going to fly all the way to Atlanta and just spend 5 minutes with Faves?

5 hours is reasonable, shows a level of respect by not taking him for granted and making a proper sales pitch.

Edit: Or 3 hours with a 2-hour lunch break.
