Teams interested in Derrick Favors

According to league sources, one of the more disappointing players on one of the league’s more disappointing teams —Derrick Favors of the Pelicans—is being “monitored” by several teams. There’s still no indication that New Orleans, with Favors having missed time because of back spasms and the death of his mother, will raise a metaphorical white flag, sell off veteran pieces and look ahead to next season.
