Favors got extended

Not necessarily a steal, but definitely smart to lock him up before unleashing him this season.

Edit: Excuse the mixed metaphor.

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.

This.

Also, I'd take Hayward over Favors right now. Hands down.

Does this extension say anything about the faith the Jazz have in Burke? I think Favors' offense would go through the roof with a good P&R PG.

And favors isn't one dimensional???

He isn't even close to being as good at defense as boozer or memo were on offense.

Yes, he kind of is. But that was my point. So were the others and they were paid equal or more. Although in Derrick's defense, his offensive numbers are respectable even if he does nothing more than clean up the garbage and gets put-backs or FT's. At $12M, Favors is not getting Boozer money. And part of the reason he's getting that much is that he can play the 5. In fact, I think next year the Jazz will go after a quality 4 so they can have Favors play half his minutes as the starting 4 and half as the backup 5. Then the rookie or FA they sign can get 30 mins at PF.

I'm actually hoping if the Jazz can't get Wiggins, they get Randle. That would be a truly amazing trio of bigs, with a little Gobert occasionally thrown in for comedic relief. Jazz could then get a wing with the GS pick. And add another either via trade or free agency (Rush would be a consideration). At PG, the Jazz would have Burke and Neto.
 
Good deal. Maybe a bit of a gamble, but $12 million a year is not a bad number at all for a big with his elite defensive skills.
 
I can live with it, but I was hoping for 10 mill/yr.

Ten million for being a athletic big man and re-bounder..................is completely worth it. One million for potential.........I can understand. One million for loyalty and wanting to stay in Utah, which is very important. Two hundred and 50,000 too much, but I can live with it. Hope he will get on board being a center, until and if he develops an outside game.

I'm afraid of what were gonna pay Hayward now. 12-13per is a realistic.
