Favors got extended

So what is he making now. $7.5 approximately. With this deal he is going to make $12 million, man life is good in the NBA. This is why I have no sympathy for NBA owners. I am glad Favors signed a new deal but I would have tried to get him for less. I know maybe they did but it seems like a big raise for not doing very much.

I hope the Jazz know what they are doing because you can draft all the talent in the world and screw it up by overpaying guys like they did with AK and Ostertag. It is only a great deal if Favors gets his act together on the offensive end. Unfortunately it puts Kanter in great position if he outplays Favors. Another concern is now Hayward is going to want Paul George money. So far Hayward has played better than Favors so his agent might just say the bidding starts at $49m.
 
Good job. Jazz had to make this deal - they couldn't risk getting handcuffed with a ridiculous RFA offer.

And even it doesn't work out this is a trade-able contract.
 
If the Jazz front loaded the contract then I feel better about the deal because they can go a year or two with bigger contracts because they have the cap space with the GS three contracts expiring. I still worry about overpaying guys and then losing out on other Jazz players.
 
lol he is not overpaid but if i was the gm i wouldn't give gim 49m he is paid more than stephen curry and jrue holiday

LARRY SANDERS! is clearly better than favors even he played alongside with jennings and ellis.

Bigs are more rare and worth more unless the Guard is a superstar, Hayward is not. Favors is the anchor of our defense and this is a decent deal for him. Hayward is not going to get an offer starting at 49M nor should he.

Jazz can afford to make a mistake with Favors, Hayward or Kanter. The deals are much shorter, and they don't have the same cap/tax concerns. AK was a MAX deal; contracts for Hayward and Favors are/will be much less. Besides, these deals will expire by the time the 2014 draft picks need to be re-signed. And I think we've already seen the Jazz have - at best - a decent PG in Trey, but not a superstar. Don't need to set aside MAX $ for Burke.
 
I was wrong...sort of. Lindsay has more loyalty to Favors than I thought.

Good for Favors and good for the Jazz.
 
Lol! 49 million?

Jeez. And to think, jazzfanz for years called real starting big men who could actually score (Boozer and Memo) overpaid.

Favors fouls way too much and has yet to develop a single offensive move. I wouldn't have extended him quite yet. I don't know if he can even play more than 25 mins per game due to his foul trouble and offensive liability. People act as if he's Karl Malone. In reality, if he could just be Larry sanders, bird man, or hell, Bogur (post elbow injury) that would be a significant step for him.

If favors can bet himself 49 million just imagine what Hayward and kanter will. Those guys can actually score too.
