Favors Expected to Make Decision on Monday
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
He played some good defense in game 4 against the Celtics in the playoffs. That is part of what won them the game. Whether he can do that night in and night out, who knows. So I guess he is a deacon in this church?
Something to the effect of if your salary is high enough and you only signed a one-year contract, then you can veto trades. Mirotic had a team option, which essentially made his contract a one year deal unless the option is picked up.
However, if Favors' second year is just unguaranteed rather than being a team option, I'm not sure how/if that changes things.

His defensive numbers are quite sad. He actually seems to have played a bit of D his first, shortened season. Since then, he's been a serious net negative on that end.
That said, you're right. He actually put up OK defensive numbers in the playoffs this spring. His offensive efficiency was very bad in the playoffs, though.
Defensive stats are terrible borderline useless for individuals. They are really only useful as a team. But he has seemingly been pretty bad at defense until lately.

$16m year 1 guaranteed; $20m year 2 non-guaranteed. Basically year 2 is an insurance policy in case Gobert gets hurt or everything clicks and Favors plays at a near all star level again.
You can't have that large of a jump (25%). It's limited to something like 17.31 the first year and 18.69 the second, or 19 the first and 17 the second.
His base salary for both years is 16M the extra 6M is incentive-based.
