Would have liked to see Nwaba with Jazz. But can't fault him for choosing Nets with their well-regarded development program.

What does the Nigel-Williams Goss signing mean?

That the Jazz have resumed their normal lazy ****ing moves and that the offseason is over.

This.

I can see it now. DL woke up a few days ago, hungover from the cocaine fueled chaos of the last month, and said "good hell what have I done" then immediately called and demanded we sign any previous 2nd-round pick we could get our hands on. It would be the only way he could sleep at night.

What did we expect at this point? The rotation was basically set after getting Conley/Bogey/Green/Davis.

Who tf do y'all expect us to get as the 13th/14th/15th men? An all star?

Denver has officially traded the rights to Donovan Mitchell for two years of Trey Lyles’ 18 minutes per game.

Solid work.

Damn I didn't even know that Denver declined his 3rd year option.

Exum might end up being that wing defender people were waiting for the Jazz to sign...

Groovy.

So either Brantley or Oni isn't making the team? Okay... why'd we buy those picks?

Two-way deals. I think we still have one more regular roster spot and both our two-ways.

PG: Conley, Mudiay, Williams-Goss
SG: Mitchell, Exum
SF: Ingles, Bojan, O'Neale
PF: Green, Niang, Howard
C: Gobert, Davis, Bradley

I count 14 at this point, unless I'm missing someone.

Not worth the money spent just to have them on two way deals imo

Not sure what you're expecting on the seconds. But if they turn into any sort of capable NBA player, they would likely be under control contract wise for likely a half-decade. They also become minor assets if they play overseas, which can be used in other trades. Utah loses nothing in purchasing those picks.

It looks like we will be shooting 3 ball till the cows come home. Love it

Quin's offense encourages it. Remember Quin telling Ingles to "shoot the ball!" when he had the look. Utah is looking completely loaded in that regard.

Apparently. 5th string point guard isn’t a thing, so they might as well have created some salary ballast for a potential future trade by getting a savvy veteran as a mentor instead of a project that won’t play.

It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I know this should be a quibble but it reeks of a phoned-in or pet move and that **** drives me bonkers as a matter of principle.

I don’t know what I’m talking about and my anger is obviously completely irrational.

 

[Coach Ellis]

So either Brantley or Oni isn't making the team? Okay... why'd we buy those picks?

Jazz can bring 20 guys to camp. Of the 20, two can be on 2-way contracts and up to 4 guys can have their minor league rights held by the Stars if they’re not signed to an NBA deal after being cut. The thing to watch is guaranteed money. That tends to dictate which guys are going to make the final roster and which guys will probably end up in the G-league.

I see our depth at PG as Conley, Mudiay, and Williams-Goss if we're going tradition. Utah will play Exum more on the wings than previous season (per Jones) and Mitchell will still draw time in PG as well. The thing is, with our injury issues Rubio, Neto, AND Exum last year, we were down to Mitchell and Ingles drawing duty there.

Given all that, I have no issues with carrying an extra PG for insurance.
