Utah Jazz big man Derrick Favors keeps cool amid trade rumors: ‘I tune it out’

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The NBA trade deadline is set for 1 p.m. MT on Feb. 8.

Several reports have surfaced surrounding a potential shakeup within the Utah Jazz organization. Among the rumors, veteran big man Derrick Favors’ name has been thrown around the most consistent.

First, there was the Favors for Nikola Mirotic deal and now the Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly showing interest.

So much chatter has been made that it prompted the longest-tenured Jazzman to tweet out an endless “BLAH BLAH BLAH” GIF last week.

After Wednesday’s shootaround in Sacramento the Atlanta, Georgia native said it’s not hard to tune out the gossip.
