What's new

The official: Thank you Favors thread.

And with that the last of the Core 4 era makes a quiet ending with the cake never baking like anyone hoped.

Favors was always more likable than nerdward so in my book of Jazz History it will be refered to as Favors and the core 4.

Now hoping Jazz can find a way to get Atl or another east coast team to take Favors into cap space for a 2nd round pick.
 
What impressed me most about Favors was his professionalism. Jazz moved Jefferson and Millsap so Favs could be a starter along with Kanter. Then Rudy steals Enes' lunch money and becomes the starting 5. Since that moment, Derrick has heard constantly he isn't a fit with Rudy. He's been on the trading block every summer and at the deadline. But he never pouted, never quit on a team like Butler, Kwahi, AD, etc. He always gave everythig he had, even when hurt. He was a warrior and a role model for young basketball players.

Gonna miss you, Derrick. I'll always hope a team will claim you off waivers and then you come back to Utah next year. I know it's not going to happen, but you deserve a ton of credit for all that you've been through. From that crazy trade for DWill to now being moved for Bojan. May the wind be always at your back and the road rise up to meet you. Good luck wherever you land.
 


This was his finest moment. This was glorious to watch. Whiteside was fuming mad. Rudy was out injured this game if you recall.
 
Man, I’m gonna miss Favors. Always a class act. Always worked hard and never complained even when he could have. A consummate pro, great teammate, talented guy with a solid work ethic. Good luck to you. I really hope you land in an amazing situation for your talents and family.
