Maybe, maybe not. Guys like Favors and RoCo are pretty high character guys, there are more high character guys around the league, we don't have a monopoly on them all. Also, sometimes a little controversy whips guys into shape too. NVE taught us that.

Favors is an energy guy who sets good picks and has been known to be a decent rim runner and is a really good defender (he is also a bigger, stronger body). There is talk that he might be a casualty of Zion's return. He's on an expiring contract that is over his current value. Trade for him now, and if he is a guy that is working out through 1/2 of a season with us (and into the playoffs), re-sign him for a $12-15M contract. If not, look for sign and trade options or let him go. It wouldn't take too much to get him. Lee and 1 or 2 seconds (he was traded from Utah for cap space and 2 seconds).
