Clarkson finalizing buyout with Jazz

[homeytennis]

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.

Will Melo be happy or sad?

If the Jazz keep Collins I'd be ok with it. They need some vets.

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

Like what moves? The only moves I want to see is tanking moves. Can we also lose Lauri please?

I don't know I said it may It also may not
What would be your Lauri trade? Do you know?
Now please leave me alone Thank you

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

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

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.

Hendricks hopefully figures it out, quick.

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

 

[bigmike]

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?

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.
