Over the coming months, there will be no shortage of speculation about how different the Jazz’s roster might look next season. After all, Ricky Rubio, Thabo Sefolosha, and Ekpe Udoh are unrestricted free agents; Kyle Korver is contemplating retirement; and Derrick Favors’ salary does not become guaranteed until July 6.
While the first three on that list seem unlikely likely to return, and Korver would be welcomed back with open arms should the 38-year-old decide to play out the final year of his contract, Favors’ future in Utah is ambiguous.
Which is a bit ironic considering how publicly keen everyone is for him to come back.
