In Favors, the Pelicans get a veteran big man who should help the team's depth at both the 4 and the 5 positions. He may start at center or back up both franchise power forward Zion Williamson and center Jahlil Okafor. Favors' experience should help this very young, very talented New Orleans squad.

The Jazz decided to ship Favors out mostly to change the team's shape, as new point guard Mike Conley and new sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic should provide a lot more offense. With Rudy Gobert entrenched at center, Utah felt comfortable moving Favors to New Orleans at this time. They will receive two seconds for him.

Favors is moving to a team that is expected to score a lot while playing a fast-paced style. That said, Favors only holds modest fantasy upside.
