I didn't say it was smart. What has Favors shown that says he can take you to a title?

IF it is front loaded, then there still isn't too much loyalty. It would be an easily movable contract.

Anyways, like I said, good for Favors and hopefully good for the Jazz.
 
the best choice for jazz is don't extend hayward. Because we gonna draft a sf probably. If enes kanter contines to play that good in offensive end and show his above average defense, he gets the max no doubt

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.

If he could score in the 18 pt range, he'd be a MAX player. Boozer and Memo were one-dimensional. They got paid for putting up gaudy scoring numbers and offering little resistance on the other end. Besides, Derrick isn't being paid anywhere near a Boozer, Jefferson, Malone (in today's dollars), etc. He's basically Larry Sanders right now (LS averaged just under 10/10/3 in 4 more mins/per vs. 10/7/2 for Favors).

Wow! I think you vastly underestimate Hayward. There's a reason Hayward has been invited to the national team camp the last two times. GH is an incredible all-around talent. Any team in the league would be happy to have him - and someone is going to offer him a handsome contract. Granted, he's started off a couple of seasons poorly, but he's still shooting 40% on his 3's. And he's an underrated defender. He's improved every season thus far and there's no reason we shouldn't expect either his scoring average to go up from 14/per or for him to get more assists. Only negative, IMO, has been his rebounding. But he's played with strong rebounders every season so there simply hasn't been a need for him to go after boards.

And favors isn't one dimensional???

He isn't even close to being as good at defense as boozer or memo were on offense.
 
Nice deal for both sides. Favors will live up to this. Gotta remember, he's 22. Larry Sanders was older as a rookie than Favors is now.

Of course I exaggerated.

However, it's simply unbelievable how overrated favors has become on this board.

IMO, kanter has already shown much more promise than favors. And that's not really saying much.
