Really doesn't matter. Once he traded the pick, DL just gave up on a draft he viewed as weak. Lindsey isn't good at finding talent in the 2nd round. Neto, a 3rd-string PG, has been his "find" in the 2nd. It's just as easy to let players get signed to the DLeague and poach the best available, unowned owns (like Cotton, Millsap and Johnson).

Favors' current contract pays him $23.05MM over the next two seasons. He can be renegotiated up to his max amount for this season, $22,116,750 (LINK), and get 7.5% more than that next season, $23,775,506.25, for a total of $45,892,256.25 -- nearly $23MM more than he's set to earn.
The most recent cap projection for the 2018/19 season is $108MM. Favs' can make a bit less than 30% of that number in 2018/19 -- in the neighborhood of $30.5MM. A 7.5% raise would make his max 2019/20 salary about $32.8MM, and bring his total 2018/19-2019/20 compensation to $63.3MM.
Without a renegotiation, under the assumption that Favors gets the max from the Jazz in 2018 (unlikely?), Favors four-year total salary would be about $86.3MM. Ignoring inflation/the time value of money and contract length -- both of which are important considerations -- the two year extension after the renegotiation would only have to total $40.4MM for Favors to break even.
You'd think the Jazz could, at the very worst, negotiate a 4-year ~$80MM renegotiation and extension, which would include the max this season, a 7.5% raise next season, and then $34MM split between the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons.
I'd be surprised if Johnson is gone any significant time before his guarantee date, which is in January I believe. He will certainly be cut then, but he is on until then guarantee it.

Certainly through training camp. But in getting down to 15, perhaps he's the odd man out.
Hill, Exum, Mack, Neto (4)
Hayward, Hood, JJ, Burks, Ingles (5)
Gobert, Favors, Lyles, Diaw, Withey, Pleiss (6)
Not sure who CJ beats out to make the Day 1 roster. Do they cut a PG or Pleiss or Withey?

Don't the Jazz have to get roster size down to 15 before then?

Is Lyles not playing? Or did he retire from the summer league for good?
