Who Will Make the Cut?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

These seem like the only 5 possible outcomes to me.

I think Goss has a roster spot for sure since he played competently.

*And yes I know Brantley is on a 2-way deal, but I guess they could upgrade him?*

 

[Eminence]

I'd go Howard, think Brantley would benefit more from the Stars at this point (JWF as well). Can we cut somebody and bring in one of those 2-ways if we want to later?

 

[Jingled]

I think Kidd will make it over Howard because of his defense.

I'll go out on a limb and say the Jazz are exploring trades to move Kidd and help him find a home with another NBA team, they'll put Howard on the Stars for now to start the season, and they'll keep a roster spot open for another FA (like Rabb), a small trade, or someone who stands out on the Stars roster during the first month of the G-League season.

Shocked at how many people voted Brantley

I think it's Kidd and it's partly financial. I wouldn't be opposed to letting both go and seeing what comes through the waiver wire. I like McKinnie out in GS.. There are a few other guys I think that might have more upside than Kidd and Howard. If Christian Wood was waived I'd have interest, but I'm guessing there are character issues there and he might be red flagged.

McKinnie is definitely intriguing. But how did he fail to make the Warriors’ roster this year?

Howard was waived... Kidd won.

they have unique salary constraints... it didn’t make a ton of sense but they might need guys that are better with the ball now that they lost so much creation/shooting.

Yeah, I get their constraints in a vague/general way. Still, they need contributions in a lot of areas... and they value culture and consistency... and McKinnie wouldn’t have been expensive...

Maybe I’m missing something, but on the surface it’s hard to square.

They liked Chriss I guess. They have issues at the 5 with WCS out and likely view McKinnie as more replaceable? I love the idea of throwing out Chriss with their weak defenders... it will work great for the Jazz.
