The Utah Jazz have a conundrum at power forward. Do they continue with Derrick Favors? If so, at what price? And if not, who is the replacement?
If you’re a Jazz fan who pays even cursory attention to the team outside the games, you’re likely aware of the following: Favors is a free agent this summer, and his return is far from a sure thing.
In fact, prior to Utah’s dramatic turnaround in the second half of the season, it was Favors’ departure that almost seemed inevitable.
“Derrick Favors is probably the most likely Jazz player to be traded, as he has made it known to the Jazz front office that he intends to not [re-sign] with the team in free agency this summer,” KSL’s Andy Larsen wrote in late January.
