Sounds like a tough call but there was no way to keep him and have a 2nd true center on the roster.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

No way.

He played well enough to keep cashing checks either in the nba or overseas. Sucks to see him go but I think he'll do alright with his career.

Good.

Yep, I was getting worried that they might cut Withey or Bolomboy. CJ is at a position that we can slide most of our roster into if need be.

didn't need to see that.

hate to see a moderately talented energy guy go, but that's the breaks of it.

I wasn't worried a bit. I think the delay in cutting down may have been due to exploring a trade of a PG. Jazz could have then kept CJ (provided a player didn't come our way). There was ZERO chance of Bolomboy getting cut. He would have been snatched up immediately. There may have been a small chance of Withey not making the team. But I think he was safe after the Favors' injury.

Correct move by the jazz.

There is a league full of guys with his talent. It kinda blows that he did hustle all the time. He gave 100%.

Are next DeMarre Carrol exit TBH.

Johnson's skill level is very low for league standards and his athleticism is just average. There is nothing that he can do well but to hustle. In other words: he can be either a very marginal player in the league or out of it. I really don't see any reason whatsoever to anyone shad tears over the Jazz cutting him.
