Rumor: Jazz want to - and can - acquire Milsap. May trade Favors in draft day deal.

Avery said:
If they want Millsap for his spacing and outside threat, I'd rather trade Favors to NY to get Porzingis so they can spread the floor.

Millsap is 30 years old and hit his peak while Favors is 23 and still has room to grow - simple as that.

Millsap is a free agent. Any trade involving Favors wouldn't be for Millsap - it would be for something else, and the Jazz would then bring Millsap in using their salary space to play the starting power forward. Again - not saying I agree with this decision; I love Favors. But it's sounding like a real possibility.
 
Poor Favors. He's shown nothing but loyalty and dedication to the organization, and he has to deal with these rumors about being traded for an inferior player who has a couple of good years left in him.

It really doesn't pay off to be nice.
 
It could a also be Philly. The Sixers can't afford to miss on this draft after the Embiid situation. They also punted on MCW. Philly could take Favors and Payne or Grant. That would be an excellent draft day for them. KOC may still have connections there.

If the Sixers don't think Russell is all that, it would make a lot of sense for them. Russell also said he didn't want to go to Philly. Not sure how serious an issue that is.

Right and then fans get mad when players aren't loyal smh.

My take? Lindsey went on and on about the versatility and strengths of Derrick Favors. I have a hard time seeing the Jazz get rid of him.

Sounds like the only way Favors gets dealt is if the deal is too good to pass up. That's what I hope at least.
 
its easy to piece together Snyder vouching for Millsap. could this have legs??

Also it's been reported that some members of the Jazz feel Porz is top-3 which is really kind of extreme when you consider Towns-Okafor-Russell..
 
I wonder if all the Favors rumors come about simply because he's the team's best asset. Solid, young, two-way big man, who can switch between the 4 and 5 and is on a team friendly contract? Just my opinion, but I don't think there is a single team in the league that wouldn't want him.
 
This wouldn't be skipping a step... it would be taking 2 back. Trade 23 year old Favors on a great contract for the uncertainty of maybe acquiring a 30 year old who wants to get paid. Lunacy.
 
Also goes without saying that we don't need to trade for Millsap as he's a FA; if you're offloading Favors, you're doing it because you want to add someone that can be more of a stretch 4 to take over for Millsap down the road.

Burke + Favors gets you Porzingis though I'd counter that Favors is worth more than that.

Exactly it makes no sense whatsoever.

Not gonna happen-- I refuse to believe this rumor even approaches having any truth to it.
