There is really no way around this.
Favors needs to start because he deserves it, will eventually leave Utah if not given respect (given recent quotes of his) and is the future of this franchise.
So it's either Millsap or Jefferson. Many keep saying that Paul Millsap will be the one benched. Really? The guy who was our leading vote-getter for being an all-star? The guy that has been with Utah longer than any current player and gives it its identity now? The guy that happens to play opposite of center, Favors' position? Clearly Jefferson needs to be benched.
But we can't bench Jefferson. He's the type of player who just won't be benched. That's a problem for the team. If he came out and said, "I'll come off the bench if that's what it takes" like Millsap does, this wouldn't be an issue.
In conclusion, Jefferson is a roadblock, he's stunting the growth of our players. So he has to be traded. It doesn't matter what for, maybe a draft pick, another player we can cut. We don't need anything for him because we are going to have $$$ to sign free agents next off-season either way. If Jefferson is still on this team by the beginning of the season, I'll throw my glasses and my daughter onto the court.
