Beijing time on November 21, the NBA free agent market opened, today a large number of players signed with the team. According to the well-known American NBA reporter Shams Charania revealed on social media, Derek Favors has renewed a three-year contract with the Jazz for nearly $30 million.
Shams Charania wrote on social media: "Free agent Derek Favors has renewed his contract with the Jazz. The contract period is three years and the total amount is close to 30 million US dollars." The
Pelicans signed first in the summer of 2019. Later, he traded Favors with the Jazz. Favors played 51 games for the Pelicans in the 2019-20 season, averaging 9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists, shooting 61.7% from the field and 56.3% from the free throw. Favors' career statistics are 11.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Before playing for the Pelicans, Favors had played for the Jazz for nine seasons. This year he signed with the Jazz again and Favors will return to his former club.
has long been reported that Favors and the Jazz have a common interest in reunion. Although the Pelicans want to keep Favors, they want Favors to accept a two-year contract extension instead of a four-year contract. This condition obviously cannot meet Favors' needs.
The 28-year-old Favors will become a completely free agent in the offseason this year. He was selected by the Nets in the 2010 NBA Draft as a pick, but was traded to the Jazz in his rookie season. Last summer, Favors came to the Pelicans from the Jazz by signing first and then changing, and became the main center of the Pelicans. The reason why the Jazz
traded Favors was mainly because his characteristics were similar to Rudy Gobert. Both playing at the same time was not conducive to opening up the offensive space. So after trading Favors last summer, the Jazz signed Bojan Bogdanovic, who made 39% of his career three-pointers, and made Bogdanovic the starting power forward. This year's offseason, the Jazz decided to adjust the lineup again, and reunion with Favors should be a good choice.
