Buyout Options

Oh Spellman being out there is unexpected. He’s an @infection favorite from the draft. Probably not someone the jazz would consider as he’s too unproven. I’d give him a call this offseason though.
 
Not picking up Spellman is going to be dumber than not getting Bogut and DWill when we were rolling with Diaw and Mack.

Spellman probably goes to Houston.
 
More importantly, I don’t think Omari ever calls DL, so it’s not a possibility.

I’m not sure why he’s even seeking a buyout or waiver... he has another year left in his deal. I just report what I hear.

It's funny about the "unproven" comment, because that sounds spot on for what they'd say and what the talking heads would reassure us with, as if the guys he'd be replacing are somehow proven. He could honestly replace both backup 4 and 5 guys, leaving just spot minutes to be filled, that you could give to Mudiay. Dude can rebound, defend, and shoot the long ball. But whiffing is a classic move. We waived Stanton Kidd to grab Morgan. We waived Jeff Green to get Rayjon Tucker. Heaven forbid we waive NWG for someone who would actually be in the rotation.

I think the play Minny is trying to do here is to waive him and hope someone claims him... then they drop under the tax... Heat did it last year with McGruder. I’m not sure we have any exceptions that would allow us to claim him... believe you either need to have cap space or a trade exception or a cap exception.
 
We honestly just need to play Morgan and Brantley... its kind of dumb that we sit here saying we need a 4/5 with some heft/athleticism that can do dirty work and we have these two mystery boxes that might have the solution we are looking for. Give those guys some run for hells sake. Niang aint going nowhere... if they fail you can pivot back to him. If Jarrell plays well waive NWG and convert his deal this year.
 
Is it too late to trade for a player exception? Can the Jazz give a 2nd to get an exception from another team?

You don’t really obtain exceptions. They come from sending out more salary in a deal than you’re taking back.
