Derrick Favors and the Jazz have agreed in principle on the terms of a two-year deal, league sources told The Salt Lake Tribune on Monday morning. Terms were not disclosed.
Favors, who was an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career, will travel to Utah from his Atlanta home to officially sign his contract later in the week.
Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey, coach Quin Snyder and assistant Tony Lang traveled to Atlanta to meet with Favors on Sunday, where the Jazz tendered an offer. During the meeting, Favors and the Jazz talked about his potential fit going forward, something Favors had a bit of concern with.
