I don't think Favors has much trade value because everyone knows he'll leave the Jazz this off-season. But perhaps if a third team is involved CHI might get their 1st round pick along with a mediocre/poor contract. They can't move Mirotic that easily because he has a no-trade clause and wants to leave. CHI did weirder things in the past so they might as well keep him too.
The Jazz have tried to deal Favors since two years but he was mostly injured/undervalued so no deal was materialized.
The elephant in the room is Jazz's need to start a stretch four with Gobert. Gobert's struggles is mainly about him starting with Favors. Last year he was pretty good with enough spacing, in fact averaged 17 ppg on elite efficiency late last season. We might be looking at another addition by subtraction situation. Although visibly unhappy with the Jazz Favors is a quality player, so that's the dilemma we have.
