Carrick Felix Injured from Practice

I saw in the Trib today that Evans contract is up after this year so he and one of the other guys mentioned could be used to match salaries for a player.

Yes, the only guys with guaranteed money next season are Hayward, Favors, Exum, Novak, and Hood for about $36 million. That's about 60% of what our guaranteed contracts for this season are (about $57 million, which is the minimum salary this year). Basically, Jazz can't really take any more money into next season so trading contracts like Evans doesn't make sense to me.
 
So sending a guy to the D-League still counts towards the 15 player maximum if they are guaranteed contract and you're looking to retain his rights. The non-guaranteed just get cut and DLeague teams decide what to do with them and any team can sign him at any point.

The Jazz have 13 guys with guaranteed contracts: Hayward, Favors, Kanter, Booker, Exum, Novak, Burks, Burke, Evans, Hood, Gobert, Clark, and Felix.

Outside of those guaranteed there is 2 spots for guys to make the roster between Dahntay Jones, Toure Murry, Kevin Murphy, Dee Bost, Jack Cooley, and Brock Motum
I hope motum gets one of those two spots
 
Felix was the end-of-bench guy I was most excited to see play. He seems like a good role player in Quin's system. High motor defender that can check 1 through 3. Good spot-up shooter. Pace, pass, defend. Hopefully he heels quickly and can learn a lot by watching.
