Clarkson finalizing buyout with Jazz

[Rubashov]

Ded Ex is available.

Isn't he still on the books in Dallas?

This one hits the feels. I used to live right down the street from Wagner High, Clarkson's High School.

I bet he goes home to San Antonio. He deserves it.

So this is the second domino to fall
This may be the trigger for a bunch of moves by the Jazz

This is it. . ."the bunch of moves" is already happening.

Spoiler alert: none of them will be good. Let the kiddies play.

Thus concludes the 2013-2014 tank.

organic tank

 

[Coach Ellis]

Thus concludes the 2013-2014 tank.

Took me a second, but seeing as the tank resulted in Exum, and Exum was traded for Clarkson. . . this really is the end of that era.

Just rip the band aid off. Good move.

If we trade Lauri, Collins, or Kessler, we’ll be superbly atrocious.

Psh... Not once Cody starts playing at MVP levels.

 

[Miggs]

Wait to trade Lauri. Let him play 30 and sit 20 before the move. There should be a ton of “contenders” this January and February.

My guy going out. Hope he gets reunited with some former teammates.

Jazz kept Clarkson because management and the fans liked Clarkson. He didn't really kill the tank and we didn't really have the talent to play in front of him unless you count Juzang. Lots of people buy tickets to the games and want to see someone they know on the team.

I'm glad he played here, I'm sad to see him go, but I understand why he has to be moved.

Remember back when Clarkson was supposed to bring back a first round pick?

apologetic jazz fans every season: they are playing him so much because they want to increase his trade value!

 

[fishonjazz]

Sounds like he's going to the Knicks per Sarah. They were rumored to like JC for the past year and a half but Ainge Sr never pulled the trigger likely because of optics/not winning the trade is my guess.

This is why a buyout is good.
Clarkson still gets his millions from us, gets some more money from his next team and he gets to go play for a contender.
If I were sexton I would have preferred this route.

 

[fishonjazz]

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.

Clarkson seems to have got the better deal. He gets to play for a contender and gets more money.
Sexton gets to go to a non contender (probably a non playoff team) and gets no extra money.

What makes you think any contender would have had interest in Sexton?

Again, you are being purposefully obtuse when I have fully explained why Sexton would want his deal, but instead of listening you just plug your ears and say what you think based on no critical thinking.

I believe that Clarkson's new contract is subtracted from what the Jazz owe him. The salary cap hit remains the same.

The New Era has begun! Saw that from a mile away. Still, for a guy that dominated the ball so much, JC was pretty clutch and a great ambassador and teammate!
