Favors agent says only way he stays long-term is if Hayward leaves

His agent is getting ahead of himself here. If Favors has another injury riddled year, nobody is going to be throwing the bank at him. Also, say Utah re-signed Hayward but lost out on Hill. Utah could still put themselves in position to keep Favors with Hayward and Rudy as our only big contracts. So yeah, a lot could happen that would make this not necessarily true.

To me, if you read between the lines here, this is just Favors' agent saying Utah got him on a bargain last time around, and will have to pay up this time, which may or may not end up being the case.
 
I thought before seeing this article that the Jazz would be looking to move Favors this offseason. The combination of him not being ideal next to Rudy, his constant injuries, and his contract ending next offseason when we'll likely be over the cap and wanting to spend any money we have to re-sign our own restricted free agents (Hood, Exum) makes it hard to justify keeping him. But his agent needs to stop talking right now. He's killing any leverage we have in trade discussions.

I agree with this. It's not like Favors killed it last year or stayed healthy.

Favors' agent didn't say the only way Favors stays is if Hayward leaves. Read article for context. He talks about the difficulties of the roster and salary situation that we've all discussed already, but then they mention Hayward possible signing elsewhere and he says that under that scenario obviously Favors may become more important to the franchise to retain.

What else does "That's the one way" mean?

This
Good point
 
His agent is high as ****. I like Favs but the dude can't stay healthy or make a jumper consistently.

2015/16 Favs was worth something around $20Mil/yr. 2017 Favs aint worth jack.

Yeah, his agent should just say his client sucks and is mediocre.
 
Was writing a knee jerk post about his agent sucking at his job, but read the article and its a very fair statement of the facts. Utah probably doesn't have the money to re-sign Favs, even though Favs loves it here. I didn't see any malice in the article.

I will hate to see him leave, we have some tough decisions coming. Hopefully we can get some assets from those we have to lose.

Basically, it's saying that Favors wants a max or near-max deal. No real news there.

Did I just travel to a parallel universe where Favors wanting the max isn't (hilarious) news?

I wonder what else is different here...

If Favors looks next season the way he looked this season, he'll probably be lucky to get another 12m/y offer. His agent really shouldn't count his chickens before they hatch.

I dont think he said that.

Gobert is a 100 million dollar plyer

Hayward is going to be a 150 million dollar player

Favors would be a 50 million dollar player to make it equal a 300 million dollar front-court.
