Chris Johnson won't be back. Mack and Neto are both under contract and should stay. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, with the addition of Diaw I fully expect either Pleiss or Withey to be moved/cut because the Jazz have no need for both. We have our first four bigs solidified now. Pleiss and Withey at 26 years old apiece hold little development value. One goes, one stays on the inactive 13-15 and Bolomboy gets the last spot for development.

Yeah, he was only due a million though and he was out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Just saw this. Nevermind.
I wish they could get rid of Pleiss contract through trade. Can't see the team waiving him (6M left)
Also, if I remember correctly, in Bell's case we bought him out at the end of his contract (for almost 100% of what was left). We asked him to go home, root on his sofa and collect the checks.

Pleiss is the same awful guy his Europe tape showed him to be. Never should have brought him.

Got to LOVE a big man who can pass. The ball will be moving now that Burke is gone.
We are building an offense to fit Qs system.

The Jazz now have Diaw to mentor Lyles and Johnson to mentor Hood. The bad twist is that both Lyles and Hood will probably see a decrease in playing time. I might be worth it, tough, if everybody gets along.

Jerrett dislocated his shoulder in Summer League and was out for the season, so he wasn't going to play and they were on the hook for his salary anyway. Cutting him just opened up a roster spot.
Diante Garrett was traded, not cut. We still have the pick from that trade (New York's 2017 second rounder).

This will be great for both, long term. This is what the Jazz are building for, the future. We also have Hill to mentor Dante. Bye-bye CJ, hello to Joe becoming mostly a cheerleader but also a guy who can deliver and surprise when everyone else is having a bad night with his change of pace style.

Good addition, adds more depth & experience. He also fits our system & should be a good locker room influence. Love how the roster is shaping up.

Boris led both teams in +/- that postseason, along with assists (even though he didn't start the first two games). He was honestly the 2nd best player on that Spurs team, I don't think I've ever seen a better glue guy in a playoff series.
If he could give us 2 seasons of even half of that level of play I'd be amped.

They'll be better suited to deal with injuries than they were last year. Adding these guys at any point last year would have been the difference between making the playoffs comfortably and missing out. Hell, give all of Burke's minutes to Hill, Booker's minutes to Diaw (kind of a push TBH) and Chris Johnson's minutes to Iso Joe. . . that's the 4th seed last year.
