Favors takes down all Jazz related stuff from his twitter

SCS said:
Actually the argument is that Favors doesn't fit next to Rudy. Which is pretty much a proven fact at this point. Even when Favs is healthy he rarely plays next to Rudy. And he doesn't play next to Rudy at all against certain lineups. He's basically the backup center at this point. Lyles has nothing to do with that point.

Dude that's exactly what he was referring to

Favors should be traded. He doesn't fit next to Gobert and we don't want to pay his next contract.

There are legit reasons to trade Favors. Him not fitting next to Gobert is NOT one of them. Numbers show otherwise. 3 years running Gobert+Favors has better net rating than either of them alone. This has to be the most failed yet persistent narrative about our team in recent years.
 
He is only piece who has some value that Utah might trade anyways. So it is normal, he might have heard he is on the trade line and got pissed.
Look at other guys;
Lyles + Exum they didnt fulfill half of their potential, they have no real trade value. Burks, as much as he sucks, he seems worse than he actually is right now. And Rodney better stays than traded unless he will bring someone like Demar Derozan on the table.
So %90 Favors is being traded on July 22.
 
Favors is a little bit of an odd bird too. I could totally see him simply having some fun at our expense too.

First off, NOBODY knows what kind of contract Favors will get. Completely depends on how healthy he stays next season.

Second, the series against GS means squat. The Cavs weren't anywhere close to beating that team with the best player in the world.

Again, if you want to use the Favors didn't play against GS....the whole dumbass argument is that he doesn't fit and Lyles fits better next to Rudy...

Zero games in the playoffs show Utah is better off without Favors.

The clippers series shows Utah is a lot better with Favors playing well, and nothing, I say nothing shows that Utah plays better with Lyles giving better spacing.

Nobody mentioned Lyles. I'm simply saying that Favors doesn't fit next to Gobert because:

- he can't spread the floor
- he's not athletic enough to guard the small lineups
- he isn't a great passer
- he doesn't dominate offensively enough to counter these other weaknesses.

This has nothing to do with Lyles.

Net rating in the season means jack ****. Favors had a couple good playoff games. He impressed me. However, he is not a force in any area of the game. Next summer, it will be determined that he's either worth $20 a year OR he is too injury prone to be worth the investment. Either way, we shouldnt need to be making that assessment. We dont need a $20 million PF who isn't a stretch 4 or an injury prone big.
