So we're making moves for the sake of making moves? Nene's contract ends this year anyway. Does that move really improve the team aside from getting younger? No not really.
Yes, yes it does.
1.) favors will play many more games than NENE
2.) favors is much better defensively than nene or gortat
3.) it allows us to dump gortat next summer in the pursuit of KD or just to dump him
I'll admit we might lose a little something offensively with favors and gortat on the floor as opposed to gortat and nene but that combo is looking like it's only gonna get 10 minutes or less a game because nene is so bad defensively at anything other than center were he's just ok. Favors and gortat I know can hang defensively as a 4/5 combo better than nene/gortat. Plus favors is still just 23 (I believe, maybe 24) and has room to improve and is on a very friendly contract and is just a better asset than nene. If we need the space in the summer someone will take gortat for free most likely if not a second rounder or 2 will do it
