It's a $1.84 million cap hold. It's not massive, but it is something. You add that to Thabo ($5.25), Jerekbo ($4.2) and Udoh ($3.6), and you've got $15 million for guys who probably don't see the floor in the playoffs if we are completely healthy.

but it would be stupid not to pick up the option. They can always release his option.
 
The best thing Favors could do is find a team that really wants him and then see if they can work a sign and trade with the Jazz. That is if he wants the money.
 
If I'm the Clippers and Doc Rivers and I lose DeAndre Jordan, I'm interested in Favors. He's a low-post big who can guard pick-and-roll and contain on the perimeter. Doc knows the difference that Favors made in that Clippers series.
 
I still think Favors is a perfect fit in Atlanta. Look at how great of a job he did working with Donovan this year. Atlanta would probably love his stabilizing presence for that young team. He could mentor Collins and Spellman while getting paid there more than anywhere else. It would be a great "local guy comes home" story that works out for everyone.

For us, yes. For Favors, maybe not.

It is the best way for favors to get paid. They money available this free agency is going to dry up quickly on bigger names then Favors. If he works a sign and trade with another team he could potentially make more money then he could on open free agency. Honestly he might be looking at the MLE at this point.

Agreed. He would get it, but I think he's worth a bit more than that.

Atlanta is one of the teams that can actually offer him a decent contract with out working the SnT.

PG - Schoeder, Young
SG - Bazemore, Huerter, Dorsey
SF - Prince, Bembry
PF - Collins, Spellman
C - Dedmon, Plumlee

The biggest issue is that Collins and Favors are both inside guys and that doesn't make it an ideal fit. They are set in the back court

Depends on how they feel about Spellman. Favors would be a very good 4/5 for that team, and depth at either position is never a bad thing if the contracts and players are good.

lmao.

They didnt trade for Young for him to be a backup. He is the Day 1 starter.

I don't see any of those as guys who play much in the playoffs. I see them as guys who help keep you on track to make the playoffs (or get a good playoff seed) when you have random injuries here and there during the regular season. That's still a valuable role. That doesn't mean you keep all of them but I think it means you keep some of them.

The biggest issue is that Atlanta wants to be terrible and will use their space to take salary dumps and get picks.

Sacramento is one team to watch... they have space and are absolutely a terrible fit with regard to roster construction but they are also stupid dumb and would absolutely convince themselves that a roster of 2 guards and non shooting bigs would be great. I’m kidding... I think.

If Thabo was healthy he would play more in the playoffs... 3 and D guys get their most burn then.

If this is true I don't see why they would pick up Thabos option. I like the guy, but if you have a shot at getting a younger talented player that can develop at a bargain, seems like it is bad business to keep the guy that was hurt most of the year and got himself a suspension. I like Thabo, but I'm not seeing the incentive to keep him. I guess it depends on what is available.

You can pick up the option without any cap consequences if you are operating over the cap. Would have MLE and BAE available still... costs you 5M and a roster spot though.

He was great when healthy but this last injury may have put him to pasture.
