Favors next season?

[TheStormofWar]

I get that but we act like he’s just now started working on it. It has looked more natural but it doesn’t go in. I think he’s worked on it and I’m not sure he ever gets it really consistently. He’s been in the program longer than anyone and still doesn’t have it.

His elbow jumper and mid floater has been great this year. I haven’t looked at the numbers just see it falling a lot when I watch.

Agreed, but part of his time was with Corbin. I'm probably overly optimistic, but he does take the shots and they go in occasionally (20% or so this year, and surprisingly 30% last year). If he can get it to 35% within a few years, he'll extend his career quite a bit. Given Quin and Co.'s track record, I think it's doable. We'll see though.

IIRC he started on working on this three last year. Even then he was finding this 'unusual'. Now he seems to understand the game has changed and he really needs to adapt.

His shot chart is below. Also added LMA's chart too for comparison. From

I can’t see the charts on my phone... I just think he tops out as a corner three shooter that maybe hits 35% on his threes.

I’m for keeping him on a value deal. Dude is straight class and the quotes you see are exactly who he is. I’m not in Utah and attend games in Oakland and Sacramento. My son and I hang out down by the tunnel pregame and Favs always stops talks and signs whatever my son has. Waited for him to take off his jersey before a playoff game. I love the guy and love that he is grateful for what he has here. I think it’s 50/50 that something works out.

He can be effective without the three... I think he can get better but it won’t be the key that unlocks this and I don’t think it should be factored into the decision... that’s all. Corner three is nice but it’s the above break three that really stretches the defense. He’s 20% on almost exclusively corner threes. His shooting motion is good from 15-18... pushing past that gets a little awkward imo.

If we can get the #3 or #4 seed, our draft pick won't be all that high (low 20's). I can definitely see a scenario where we look to trade Burks and trade down or out in order to comfortably re-sign Exum and Favors. Something like our pick #22 and Burks to Atlanta for #30 (they own Houston's pick).

I'm all for keeping Favors if we can sign him to a declining contract. Some kind of $13, $12, $11 type deal. If Ingles and Favors are on declining deals that end when Mitchell is due his first major contract, then our FO would have done well.

No ****ing way Favors signs a **** contract like that. Stop thinking your signing him for less than he currently makes.

Don’t know what the Jazz will be able to offer Favors this offseason. But he’s going to have to think long and hard about staying here. Jazz are building something special. Yeah, he may be able to get more money someplace else. But I think this team can contend for a championship. If he stays he can be a part of that. Grass isn’t always greener elsewhere.

Love the guy and hope we find a way to keep him.

Also, DL has proven hat he can hit big in the mid 20’s. Why sacrifice that option just to dump Burks? They’ll either trade him for a guy they want who costs more (Carroll, Faried, Porter, etc.) or buy him out after the deadline, or he will work on his game like never before knowing a contract year is coming up and kill it in pre-season and the jazz will have to find minutes and a role for him and then they re-sign him.

Fixed.
A guy can dream.

Ever the optimist. I love AB. But he’s just not a good fit for Quin’s team. I was encouraged early in the year when he was getting solid minutes, shooting well and playing better defense. . . then he ended up in the doghouse and never got out. He’s a true professional. Never bitches. Never complains. I hope they move him to a team that will make better use of his strengths and he breaks out. . . especially if it lands the Jazz a guy who can slot into the rotation or an asset of some sort.

Moving from the Jazz to the Suns would take serious desire to disappear into NBA oblivion. I guess money trumps it all, but the Jazz are on a 28-5 run, while the Suns are on a 3-30 run.
The only way I see tanking teams getting Favors is paying him twice as much as the Jazz. I love Favors but if one of those teams spend a good chunk of their cap on Derrick, they'll be tanking for years to come.

Yes but phoenix ain’t a bad place to live during the season and if the come with a 4/60 type offer I don’t see what we’d be willing to offer that makes it work.

I think we are planning on having space in 2019 and singing both Favs and Dante to LT deals will definitely compromise that space.

How I see it working if Favs comes back is he goes on the market and gets offers for the full MLE (4/40) because Dallas and Atlanta are not buying. Jazz offer a 2/30 or higher but the second year is a team option. He banks 15M and if we don’t find something better he gets another good salary. If we decline the option he gets back on the market when there are more teams with space. I suppose if he’s willing to come back for 4/40 I’d do that as it is just a good allocation of resources. I’d try and descend the salary next year.

I think at that point we might have to pick between Ricky and Favs next year. If Dante is ready that’s probably an easy choice. Both guys may find the market to be more tepid than they like.

If you're the Jazz show him Hoods stats after he left. Less minutes, less points, less shots and I'd bet a lot less touches though I didn't try and look that up.

Pretty sure there was some tongue involved here.
