I don’t think his next 2 seasons are guaranteed. They could just waive him if they want.
True. But it would be nice to get something out of him. Even just a second round pick
The announcer said he played with the flu tonight and he appeared to get worse the more he played. JWF and Brantley didn't exactly shower themselves with glory late in the game either.
Pure garbage signing. I’d have signed Jose Calderon or some other extremely experienced player on a minimum deal without blinking over NWG (saying nothing of players with any potential that the Jazz waived like Howard). If such a player never plays a meaningful minute in an NBA game in a Jazz uniform, their salary in a trade and their presence on the sidelines, in the locker room, and in practice would be worth more than Lindsey’s pet-signing.
I know this is kind of a silly complaint in the scheme of things but having your out-of-rotation players bring any value is nice, as is having more salary to send out as ballast in a theoretical trade.
I don't get it either. The Jazz have released far better players.
If they add him to a trade with Ed Davis, they can take ~ $10 million back incoming salary.
I do think a Davis trade may be coming.
Yeah something. Maybe his salary can be used to make a trade work like was said.
