The Suns waived former Jazz great Jared Butler despite his huge game this week.
The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section
- Thread starter Handlogten's Heros
- Start date
My prediction for the top-5 guys in the '24 class were Sheppard, Castle, Ware, Cody and Knecht. I'm not completely sold in Buzelis yet, but he's up there, as is Jared McCain in Philadelphia. Another guy is Jaylen Wells from the 2nd round, but I never actually watched him. Filipowski deserves an honorable mention, at the least.
I have no idea what happened to Knecht. He seems to have lost his confidence and aggressiveness. He got a bad start in LA, then got sent back to LA in that rescinded trade with Charlotte. He could probably use a change of scenery at this point.

They've still got Ty Jerome and KCP in their backcourt. They'll tread water. But yeah, they're pretty snakebit.
I honestly think the Jazz might be better than Phoenix. They've got Mark Williams and Maluach at the 5. They've got Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn at the 4. Dillon Brooks is a dolt.
Green out to start the year tho. Very thin on playmaking.
Javon Small time.

They have Booker, they play better defense than us ( which is not difficult). Still see them in front of us.

Did
Didn`t JJJ play in their last pre season game? Their local expert said on their season outlook-show on Dunc`d On that they expected JJJ to be ready for the season opener.
Nique Clifford looks like a great pick for the Kings. Watched his highlights from the Lakers game and he was making some impressive plays.

Weber State product Dillion Jones got the axe today. First round pick by the Thunder in 2024 and shipped to the Wiz in a salary dump.

Sharpe and Camara extended today. Eason likely extends now that the KD extension is in.
So let’s talk about that cap space we gonna have next year and how Walker might be the best RFA left on the board. Big brain stuff.

Am I seeing it right that the Blazers waived the last year of Camara's rookie scale contract to extend him and pay him early? Or was he just on a 3 year rookie deal?

Kobe Bufkin was waived today. So that means that the players taken just ahead and behind Key in the 2023 draft have hit the waiver wire.
So, I think Walker might actually be asking for the moon. He either gets the moon from the Jazz, or it might precipitate him getting moved (maybe to the Lakers) which he probably wants, given all of the nonsense the Jazz have been doing.
I guess I hope this is the case as cope for the Jazz most likely just completely fumbling this.
ESPN says this:
So still a few hours left. Apparently rosters are also set for the regular season at 5PM ET.
He did have a team option that would have paid him $2M....but IIRC, had they exercised that team option he would have been unrestricted the following year so they just gave him the money now. Jokic had the same thing....second round contract stuff.
POR has some nice pieces and players, but it's really hard to see them getting anywhere in the west. This year could be another honey moon season for them, but if they have real expectations to make the playoffs I think they will disappointed and they may try to make a move for a star.
