Marcelinho Huertas to sign with a Western Conference team?
According to Ismail Senol, Huertas has signed in NBA

According to Ismail Senol, Brazilian point-guard Marcelinho Huertas has agreed to a deal with a Western Conference team. Huertas had a deal in place with Galatasaray but asked for more time to evaluate NBA opportunities. It's still unclear for which NBA team Huertas will play and which kind of deal has signed.

Marcelinho Huertas, NBA'de bir Batı Konferansı takımıyla anlaştı. Galatasaray'ın oyun kurucu için hedefleri Jerome Dyson ve Errick McCollum.

It might be one of those situations when a player is using us as leverage, but who knows?

I thought the Tribune said the Jazz were at the training camp maximum.

I think we are at 19. We can carry up to 20 players in training camp. Only two teams in the western conference have capspace to sign Huertas - Utah and Portland. If another team is thinking about it, they would need to use various exceptions and will be limited in the amount they can pay him.

Definitely wanted this guy. If we can get him, trade Trey and sweetener for Olynyk.

Huertas had a strong showing vs Team USA in the 2012 Olympics.

I like his chances at shooting decent %'s much more than Neto.

He's declined in the last couple of years, but still has great vision and passing ability. Watching him in the World championship last year was kind of frustrating - way too many flashy plays that got punished by opponents. I kind of liked Neto better on that Brazil team(might have been bias on my part). But Huertas is definitely the better shooter. Neto is much better defender, though.

Thoughts on Marcelinho Huertas: Jazz have signed 20 guys, so they'd need to cut someone to sign him. But cutting Jerrett early is possible.

Hm, I might have missed somebody. I thought we were at 19. But yah... they would cut somebody if they want Huertas in.

You probably missed J.J. O'Brien.

Goddammit. 2 of my favorite teams are contending for the same player. What are the ****ing chances?

Booker, Burke, Burks, Cooley, Cotton, Exum, Favors, Gobert, Graham, Hayward, Hood, Ingles, Jerrett, Johnson, Lyles, Millsap, Neto, O'Brien, Pleiss, Withey is 20.

I had to list them all out to make sure too, though.

It's really puzzling to me why DL is only interested in PGs with limited upside... (except for Exum)?
