Clarkson finalizing buyout with Jazz

[Shad]

Id love to keep john Collins if he's okay riding the bench for another year

I bet John is gone by the 4th of July. We cleaning out the closet.

If the closet needed a thorough cleaning after only 3 years of Danny Ainge he needs to be held accountable and shown the door.

Why not just buyout Sexton?

my question is why not just buy out Clarkson? much harder to trade than even Sexton.

Obviously there is some "favor-tism" with the Sexton deal. They did him a solid for sitting a lot of games in the prime of his career for a tanker. Clarkson doesnt get that same favor because he just straight up wasnt really good enough to justify playing.

I'm guessing Collins (or even Lauri) get moved at some point. They need minutes for their top 10 picks Ace and Hendricks.

Hendricks hopefully figures it out, quick.

 

[JazzGal]

My heart hurts. Glad he's leaving though. Too bad he couldn't last year instead of wasting time like he had to do.

I've always wondered what portion of the remaining $ players get in buyouts.

How much are the Jazz paying JC to not play for them next season?

 

[framer]

At least we will never have to hear Boler and Thurl say "FLAME ON" ever again.

Oh they aren't done. We still have to ay against Clarkson.

 

[Miggs]

"Ace in the hole" or "Ace up the sleeve" will be the new catchphrase anytime Ace scores.

Hopefully it’s not the Ace of spades. That wouldn’t go over well.

 

[Jazz Fusion]

Hope JC lands in a good spot. Knicks also looking at Westbrook.

At least we will never have to hear Boler and Thurl say "FLAME ON" ever again.

Now you'll hear Ace in the hole, Jazz have an Ace up their sleeve, and Thurl talk about Bailey not being related to him and whatever new idiotic phrase they can think of...

Probably his salary minus a minimum contractor or more.

All the best, Flame.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Thank you Jordan Clarkson

 

[HeatCheck]

Reminds me a bit of the Boston situation where Brad Stevens had to come in and clean up Danny's GM'ing mistakes. Now it's Austin doing the dirty work. Not a slight on Danny we all get old at some point. Heat fans are hoping that Pat Riley steps down in the near future too.

 

[Rubashov]

Good luck to him, he deserves a fresh start
