Favors Thinks Murphy Can Help Him
In an interview with DIME Magazine, Derrick Favors says the Nets trade for Troy Murphy was "a good move" in part because the nine-year vet can "help me out with my offensive game, show me little strategies to use."
Otherwise, Favors said he sees Avery Johnson as "a good dude and a great coach", expects the Nets will want him to "come out and play hard", and has made his first big purchase with his NBA paycheck, a Camaro "nothing for custom, just regular factory model."
As for who he thinks will be rookie of the year, Favors hopes it's him but if not him, his Georgia Tech teammate Gani Lawal of the Suns.

Why a Camaro??? Those cars are cheap ugly and small on the interior for a 6"10 dude. Oh i forget he is from GA.
T-Will has a Camaro too
It might have something to do with the Transformer movie.
Also, please don’t knock the Camaro. I’ve owned a 1969 Z-28 as well as a 1978 Z-28 and they were anything but ugly.
They should grind it out in practice
They will learn from each other.
Assuming one of them don’t get traded.
"It's time", "I'll take my talent to ..." "Beat the Heat!"
Chooo Chooo ... all aboard!
he should have purchase a Cadillac Escalade
I wonder what he look like on driving a Camaro :)

Favors is extremely humble, but obviously a hard worker.
I like him a lot.
When the big fella was whistled for his fourth personal foul midway through the third quarter, Stan Van Gundy left Clark Kent alone. And in a phone booth measuring 94 feet across, Dwight Howard used that vote of confidence to transform into his alter ego. - Chris Sheridan
Favors don't like TWill?
“Not yet, I haven’t met none of ’em yet” when Favors was asked if he clicked with any Nets teammates.
TWill showed him no love in Orlando. That’s OK, TWill going to Denver soon
Okay, we need to stop with the Melo speak.
I thought it said “…his first big purchase with his NBA paycheck, a Carmelo.”Jeez
Consequences will never be the same.
