Hard to tell if #Bulls plan on keeping Derrick Favors on the roster. He didn’t play in any games last season, but signed a 10-day with Atl at one point. Averaged 5.3 pts in limited action for OKC before that. – 8:33 PM

“I’m 32. I want to keep paying until my body tells me I can’t play anymore. I’m playing until the wheels fall off. I still feel like I’ve got a lot more years left in me.”

More on this storyline
Derrick Favors has made over $131 million during his 12-year career as the 15th-highest-paid player without making an All-Star team, and he’s looking to continue his NBA journey this season. Favors plans to sign with a G League team soon to showcase himself and stay ready for a potential NBA opportunity, league sources told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2023
The Utah Jazz recently traded away Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. During their era, why could those talented teams not take the next step? Derrick Favors: I think we just got hurt at the wrong time. That last year, when we went to the playoffs, and we lost to the Clippers, they were a good team, but I think we could’ve beat them, but Mike Conley ended up getting hurt. Donovan Mitchell also got hurt. We were down our two leading guys. You’ve also got to remember that we were going up against Houston and Golden State when they had the best record in the league and the best team. Houston had James Harden at the time, winning 65 games. I think some of it was matchups, going against two historically great offensive teams. We couldn’t match up with them, but who could in the league? If it wasn’t for Golden State, Houston probably would’ve won championships. If it wasn’t for those two teams, we could’ve won a championship. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2023
How long do you want to continue playing professionally? Derrick Favors: I’m 32. I want to keep paying until my body tells me I can’t play anymore. I’m playing until the wheels fall off. I still feel like I’ve got a lot more years left in me, and I still feel like I can compete at a high level. I still feel like I can help a team. I think I’ve shown in the past that I can adjust to any role that I’m in. I can come into the game on the offensive and defensive end. I can still do a lot of things out there on the court with the right team and the right situation to help a team either win a championship or be a mentor to a younger team. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2023
