It never made sense. Favs was coming off a bad year where he got his minutes significantly reduced. The warning signs were there.

They also drafted another big 2 weeks before signing Favs. At the time they did that, they knew Favs was their target.

Hollinger questioned the Jazz because their primary need was athleticism on the wings. Secondary was backup 5 minutes. You can survive and find help on the cheap for backup five minutes in free agency. You can’t survive and find cheap athletic rotational wings.
