When Derrick Favors signed his two year-$38 Million deal with the Jazz this offseason, there were mixed feelings among Jazz fans and media. Most fans were thrilled with the idea of keeping Favors around in Utah as the longest-tenured player on the team and one of the staples of the franchise over the last handful of years. Some thought Favors was overpaid and that the Jazz needed to move on from the idea of having two traditional big men, especially sharing the same frontcourt for most of the game. These mixed opinions intensified as the season started and went on, as the Jazz struggled mightily with a tough schedule and just weren’t playing very good basketball.
