New Jersey Nets rookie Derrick Favors is one name that is frequently mentioned in the never-ending Carmelo Anthony trade rumors. And if there is one person who will veto such transaction, it is no other than Nets head coach Avery Johnson. The outspoken mentor has come to the open that he wants the 6-1o former Georgia Tech standout to remain with the Nets and be a big part of the future for the franchise, according to the Denver Post. Favors is currently posting norms of 7.6 ppg and 6.4 rpg in 13 games for the Nets.
“We want him here with the Nets and we love having him here. You know he heard his name mentioned quite a bit and it didn't affect him at all. We talked about it and that was the end of the story. Whenever you hear your name in trade talks, you should look at it as 'I am wanted somewhere else.”
