Can We Please Just Waive NWG?

Somewhere John Stockton is so so mad. NWG actually played well in the pre-season... wonder if someone picks him up.
 
I heard they did it now because they didn’t want to pay his per diem in Portland.
The question is will they trade or waive Morgan, Niang, or Shaq midway through the season to duck the tax. Per capulator they are $882k above the tax. I believe, per hollinger, the trick is to keep them and trade them at or near the deadline for no returning salary... then sign guys to 10-days every few weeks to meet the minimum roster threshold. Maybe its a bigger trade... but I'll bet you they end up sneaking under the tax.

I think mid season we might have an idea who is worth keeping. I think they'll drop dead weight is it exists. Otherwise they will keep an eye for a trade that gets us there and/or make us better. Otherwise if we are playing well, there isn't a decent trade, and all our prospects are worth keeping they'll pay the tax.
 
I'm kind of expecting a trade involving Royce, Conley, or Ingles at some point if the Jazz aren't clearly in contending status
 
I’d be ****ing shocked if Ingles was traded.
I'd say Conley is most likely of those three. Joe is Jazz culture... Royce has a solid deal and is besties with DM. Conley is a one year guy... there is zero chance we retain him if we also extend Rudy. The money ain't gonna work.
