Fans on a Jazz forum believe a sign and trade is in the works to make the money work.
Might be true but some of those delusional fans think it involves Brown and or the Nets pick lol. If anyone in that forum is reading this please tell your folks to keep dreaming.
Actually this (not Brown or Nets pick) is the only thing that makes sense enough to get everything righ.t . Cs were chosen. Utah made a last ditch effort to salvage something by offering an S&T... word gets out it's going Boston's way as the S&T gets some life from Boston's side. This delays the process as the negotiation plays out. Hope this is what's happened.
I mean, we do need a power forward, and they have had Favors on the market before. I like his fit here.
Would there be some advantage by doing those deals together rather than separately?
Well, Crowder and AB combined make $3.5M more than Favors next year...so there is that. If we wanted Favors and waited to make the deal until after signing Hayward, we wouldn't be able to sign him to the full max.
Still, Favors only has one year remaining on his contract - there have to be better options out there than an expiring for AB/Crowder/picks.
