Yeah I know this is the Jazz forum. So, how does this affect the Jazz?
 
S***!! I was REALLY hoping he would end up in the east. With Kawhi likely going to the Clippers it's very possible the two LA teams could be the one and two seeds in the west next year and meet in the western conference finals.
 
Lakers are interested in several guys. Favors is one of them.

Favors would do well for the Lakers, but they have a ton more needs than a PF/C right now. They could easily start LeBron, Kuzma and AD in the frontcourt. They desperately need PGs, SGs and SFs.
 
The Pelicans should have demanded Kuzma be part of the deal...the Lakers would've caved eventually.
 
I think the Pelicans did a great job. They got 3 first round picks and three solid players for AD. The Spurs got DeRozan and a top 20 protected pick for Kawhi.
 
So... the Lakers hold out for FA now. They'll get Favors at C if we get Conley. Or they'll have Kemba or Kyrie.
All according to rumors, now. But they've got plenty of cash to sign a third.
 
AND. Kiss any hope of Kemba goodbye. The Jazz could have been competitive against the Hornets, but the Hornets and the Lakers?

Conley is the answer.
