But that's prolly about it. Also prolly means news on Capela. He gone via injury er trade. So I call you to the stage to claim your prize like a golden glove award and you claim you didn’t play in the movie? I KNOW YOU WANTED HIM!!! Stu wanted Keyvon Pangos and Kenrich Dort II 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Bogi, Capela and JC will have to be off the roster by next season because Ressler will not pay the LT next season either. Unless, ofc, we somehow bring in a second superstar player (think Embiid or KAT) and he would justify paying it then. I find that unlikely. As for Favors this is a good pickup. Local guy who has size and was once a quality starting center/PF in the NBA. Depending on his game shape he's a huge upgrade over Frank the Tank. Definitely helps us defend bigger centers and can rebound. Size? He's 6'9.... Does he have any athleticism left?

He's also 260 ish depending on his game shape. He can bang. He's the only person on the roster besides Capela that can actually bang down low. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted January 11, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Of course Favor is a name we all know and love, but man, how is this dude a free agent this late into the season? He must have fallen off hard and expecting to pick up a needle mover in free agency in January is probably a little hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favors is still getting a check from Houston every month, being in the last year of that $10.2m (?) annual contract. ??? For a 10 Day. This isn't a vet min regular contract.

My understanding is that anything a player in his situation receives from a new team is deducted from what the team that cut him has to pay.... 10-day or vet min, or otherwise.

He must have fallen off hard and expecting to pick up a needle mover in free agency in January is probably a little hopeful. At least one decent theory is that he was making plenty of money sitting at home, and figured he would decide for himself when he wanted to go back. I mean, the guy is just 31 years old, and he's always been fairly productive.... Get this... since he got traded his rookie season, Favors has never ever ever had a WinShares-per-48 of less than .100. Not a lot of guys you could pick up off free agency today can say that. Better, he got the Al Horford treatment in OKC, so he's still got some tread left on his tire that he wouldn't have otherwise.... a "young 31." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favors has been more of a defensive big with limited 3 range. He can make a mid range jumper though, which is right up Nate's alley.
