Utah Jazz May 27, 2013Favors ready for the jump

Salt Lake Tribune — Utah Jazz: With trade behind him, Derrick favors Utah by Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Published Apr 9, 2013 12:35AM MDT When Derrick Favors arrived in Utah, he was a teenage NBA rookie who had just been traded by a team which repeatedly reassured him that he wasn’t going anywhere. Favors was confused, bewildered and a little disillusioned after being the centerpiece — at least from the Jazz’s perspective — in the blockbuster trade that sent All-Star Deron Williams to New Jersey.
