The Jazz have waived Elijah Millsap

I am surprised we cut him this early, the deadline was the 15th (or am I remembering that wrong). If we did cut him early, maybe we are going after Wood since he just got released. Who knows.

Article says deadline is Thursday.

Uhh, we are going to do the same thing we did last year probably, sign a bunch of 10-day contracts until we find someone we kind of like in practice, then most likely cut him before he becomes fully guaranteed.

That's what I'm expecting. A major trade happens if another team gets stupid, otherwise it's going to be boring is my guess.

Nice find. Still kind of weird we did it 2 days early, seems like most teams, and especially the Jazz, usaully wait til the last day to do these things. I guess we are going on a road trip though and it would be kind of inconvenient to cut someone during that.
 
Millsap just never learned how to not be a giant klutz with the ball. Sad too, cause I think he actually had a good offensive IQ (he made some nice passes every now and then) but he just had no idea how to slow himself down or shoot.

I think tomorrow is when teams can start signing DLeague guys to 10 day contracts so this makes some sense. I had the feeling he should have gone to Summer League to work on his offensive game.

Makes me wonder if DL has other moves in mind? Could we be adding other players or do we keep the 14 player roster & flexibility so we can be a facilitator as we get closer to the trade deadline?

I don't think it signifies trade. With Favors having back problems and Gobert still out, I think it enables the Jazz to sign a big. Typically that's why teams carry 13 or 14 - they leave flexibility to respond to injuries if needed.

Hmm.. with Favors and Gobert coming back soon if anything I think there's a glut of bigs ATM since Withey and Pleiss are doing pretty well.


I'd much rather we get another wing seeing as Burks is still no where near returning and in case Hood is out again...

Johnson is only good enough to be an end-of-the-bench kind of guy. I hope they use the spot to pursue a legit NBA wing player to improve our depth, as opposed to signing d-league guy like the cheapskates they typically are..

Me too. I'm tired of getting excited over guys like Jack Cooley, Tibor Pleiss, and Bryce Cotton. It's time the Jazz bring in some real players. Coach Snyder has done so much with so little... what if DL actually gave him something to work with!
