File-This Dec. 23, 2015, file photo shows Utah Jazz's Derrick Favors (15) going up for a dunk past Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Oakland, Calif. Favors knows he’s been the forgotten man in the Utah Jazz grand scheme. “I’m pretty much used to it,” Favors said. “The whole time I’ve been here has been like that. It seems like everybody seems to forget about me all the time. That’s what people kind of forget, I can score the ball, too, when I get the chance. “I definitely prepared myself this summer to be a big part of the offense, whether it’s scoring or being a playmaker.” (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)

FILE - This April 7, 2017 file photo shows New Orleans Pelicans forwards DeMarcus Cousins, left, and Anthony Davis joking with each other as they sit on the bench and watch the second half of the team's NBA basketball game against the Denver Nuggets in Denver. The Pelicans' back-to-the-future experiment, centered on the All-Star front-court duo of Davis and Cousins, begins in earnest now. The stakes are high and immediate, because a third-straight non-playoff season could spell regime change, as well as an exodus of players, including Cousins, who are in the final season of their contract. Davis says Pelicans players know they’ve got “one year to basically figure it out.” Cousins says he senses a “special season” coming. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, file)
