Jazz sign Svi Mykhailiuk for 4 years, $15 mil

I really can't make any sense of this outside of he must be a really good teammate kind of player and they just want some good solder, won't complain about not playing, kind of vets


But he's also in his prime, age wise, so is he really cool about going to a tanker and not playing? Seems like the kind of guy who would just go overseas but I guess you can't say no to this money.

I thought we might go after someone like Wes Matthews, that kind of vet.
 
I'm incredibly confused as to why, especially given we signed Juzang. Aren't they essentially the same player?
Trying to recreate the Tech contract? Honestly - I just don't get it. Both Juzang and Svi could end up being more functional than Sensabaugh who I think you need to throw out there. He shares and agent with Lauri... which in the NBA means something of course. Shrug.
 
He hangs around the periphery of the league. Interesting that they'd commit to 4 years, rather than something like 2 years with a team option.

I will guess it is a 1 year guarantee... like Jock Landale got last year on his 4 year deal. IDK though its close to the minimum... the timing is weird... have to imagine there wasn't a ton out there for Svi.
 
So does this take us to 14 players? With $8 millionish capspace to use if we use exceptions for Eubanks/Juzang? (Or can we use the exceptions if we're still below the cap?)

14 players? What a strange signing.

No it's still 10 million. I believe the MLE is split between Eubanks and Svi? Maybe (probably) wrong tho

We could have Svi, Juzang, and Eubanks all go into exceptions. We have about $13M to use before they put pen to paper.
 
Wonder who Eubanks's agent is?

Or is this more of a Hardy favor?

I guess when you're creating the back of the roster for tanking teams, there are worse paths than throwing a few favors around.
I mean, I get Eubanks. I don't get Svi

I guess he did just win a ring. I'm sure he must be a good teammate kind of guy like Eubanks because he has been in the NBA for a minute despite being below replacement level (according to VORP)
