Favors next season?

I don't see it. Especially if Crowder looks excellent this last bit of the season. Favors is still in his prime and still deserves to start somewhere.
 
Favors will move on to a team that gives him more touches and more Benjamins. For now, Crowder is going to be our solution at the 4.

Yes, right now he is. How much do you think we will give him when Quin obviously doesn't trust them together and has been playing them separate as much as possible? Do you really think in Favors' mind how he's being used with Rudy on the floor is how he imagines his career going forward? Spaced in the corner waiting to shoot 3s?

I think DL likes good basketball players and having financial flexibility. Favors is a good basketball player. We're going to get that 6th seed and pull an upset. Favors will help. Good experience for whatever our core is moving forward; and maybe Favors will be a part of that.
 
I would prefer him to stay. I dont think we can get a better player at the 4 to replace him. So assuming we get him for a reasonable deal I prefer to retain him.

I have no idea how he feels about staying though.

If we dont keep him. I would like to see us make an offer to Jabari or Aaron Gordon. It probably gets matched but we should still try, we would have to renounce Favors rights to do that though.

How many 3s has Favors shot? I MEAN....this seems like a really hyperbolic description of the role he's been playing.

Yeah, wow.

But let's engage here anyway.... Favs wants to play the 4.... I'm sure he knows that comes with shooting some threes. I wonder, though, if he's crying in practice when DL stands behind him and makes him shoot them.
 
If Favors gets a good situation for more cash, you'd have to respect his wishes on it. I wouldn't blame him, but I do love him as a Jazzman.
 
I really don't see Favors coming back next year.

For his sake, I hope he gets to go somewhere and be their starting 5.
 
I'm more interested in about a month if Crowder or Favors is the starter. If Favors is still the starter I'd see a way for him back next year.

Since Rudy got back - 9 3s in 102 minutes of play with Gobert on the floor. That's 3.2 3s per 36 minutes. For comparison, Jerebko shoots 3.1 3s per 36 for his career(4.4 this year).

I don't think he cries because they are making him shoot them, because he's been a freaking soldier for us and I love the guy and how he's conducted himself and how he played through serious injury on one leg for a full season and he won us a series in the playoffs on one leg. He's not the type to moan, but at the end of the day him and his agent will get together at the end of the season and will weigh his options. Him spacing in the corner for 3s is just not great for his skillset and for his future paydays. It's really as simple as that.

And don't get me wrong, I've probably been the poster here who's defended Favors most and has been saying for the last 2-3 years that Favors and Gobert can coexist together(the introduction of Rubio has been testing my resolve there) and be successful and I still think that.... BUT... this doesn't change the fact that Quin doesn't seem to trust them and seems to want the floor spaced. Favors best attributes and touch around the rim is wasted in such situation. I just think both him and the Jazz will see this as a problem long-term and he will most likely walk in FA.
