I think it means they signed him for the remainder of the season but who knows?

Everybody wanted House signed for next season also

I preferred that yes. He might just be a minimum guy next year anyway. I would have like to get him on a second year team option if possible. He may have wanted to be a FA next year in case he shows out in the playoffs.
 
I like House a lot. He's been a live body. He's been fun to have out there. He has competed. I am excited we kept him around and am confident he will play over NAW... even if Quin has to give NAW a courtesy tryout.

House is someone I have wanted on our team in the past. The kind of irritating dude you don't like playing against. Not quite the full ******* we really need, but a great addition nonetheless. Not to mention he is probably automatically our best perimeter defender.
 
And for anyone asking 'Why not next season?', I would challenge that it may not make sense for House or us.

We'll want to keep our options open and even at a minimal salary, we might simply find other players that are a better fit for us that can produce more. House was a street FA for a reason - doesn't mean he's not good, just means that teams were happy with what they had.

And for House, he might be betting on himself. Rather than perhaps settling for a minimum contract for next year, he might use the regular season and the playoffs to parlay that into a better contract next year (maybe for Utah, maybe for another team).

All that said, I will be a bit peaved if he simply rides pine knowing minutes are going to be limited. Even if it's only <10 a night, I'd like him to spell Royce a bit. He might even be able to eke some of Gay's minutes as he's no spring chicken and we need that flexibility in the playoffs.
 
Minutes are going to be interesting.

Forrest needs minutes, House needs minutes. I would think they actually want to try NAW out, so he will need minutes.

Then there's the whole Gay/Paschall minutes thing.

I guess it's a good thing the Jazz have options.

I think this year's bench is definitely worse than last year's, but this year's bench is deeper with playable players.

I would have like to get a team option... that's what the Lakers did with Stanley. House may have said no... In that case I'd have given him a second year minimum. If he gets on the court... which he will... I think there is a good chance he shows out and gets a bigger payday.

The bolded portion of your quote... the reason he was a street FA was what??? The answer is he had sex... consensual intercourse. He was always a solid 3 and D player and without that sin he wouldn't have a scarlet letter attached to him. I think he shakes that nonsense off of him with a little playing time for a competent franchise. I think it is likely we can keep him at a bargain if we want next year but there is some slight downside risk.
