NBA Trade Rumors: 3 players the Utah Jazz should trade away

#1 Derrick Favors

Golden State Warriors v Utah Jazz

Derrick Favors was drafted third overall by the Brooklyn Nets in the 2010 NBA draft, although he has been with the Jazz since 2011. The 27-year-old has played a major role in the Jazz's recent success, although doubts still remain over Favors' ability to play alongside Rudy Gobert.

This is a major problem for the Jazz, as the big-man duo are the two highest paid players on the roster. This summer, Favors re-signed with the Jazz on a two year, $32 million contract, while Gobert is halfway through a four-year, $102 million deal.

Aside from Donovan Mitchell and Gobert, Favors is the Jazz's most valuable asset, so the player could potentially be moved on in the next year. Favors' ability to play at both power forward and center will interest other teams, and the Jazz would benefit from trading him for a reliable shooter.
