The Jazz know talent and have their standards. It was never explained why he was released as far as I know, but there must have been a reason. I doubt he becomes anything more than a end of the bench player, so no real loss. Even if they give him significant minutes, those minutes would have taken away from our young core's minutes had we given him those same minutes. I am surprised that we supposedly paid him his full salary to release him.
Because he suffered a season ending shoulder injury before the final year of his contract.

Grant was honestly one of the worst players I have ever seen on a guaranteed contract.

John Amaechi would like a word with you. . .
I just don't like this face. (or any memory of this scrub wearing a Jazz uniform)
Way better than Grant. I'm not talking just for their jazz career.John Amaechi would like a word with you. . .

Grant's case is just weird to me. He was a **** player one year in college, gets drafted just because he is big and can shoot, is a below average D-League player, but somehow got a guaranteed deal in the 2nd round? That just seems weird to me.
The Jarrett trade also included Tibor Pleiss, Steve Novak, Kendrick Perkins, and Kyle Singler. BLOCKBUSTER!!! One man's trash is another man's... trash.
Were you following the Jazz when we had Amaechi? Literally, the worst player we've had. He came with a lot of hype, too.
He also had a reason to get a guarantee. He played well the game year before.

I never followed him in Orlando other than the stats. Just remember being lukewarm on a "center" scoring 10 PPG who couldn't rebound. Everyone hyped his jump shot opening things up for Malone and media kept showing clips of his mid-range J. In fact, those clips may have been the only time his midrange J was seen. Plenty of worse people than Garrett have gotten guarantees.
Jarret was a scrub at Arizona who left after a horrendous year. He never deserved a NBA contract but somehow he got a guaranteed deal.

How many times is(are?) Portland going to pick up players the Jazz have had but threw away? GRANTES WES MATTHEWS was a totally great pickup by them, and I cursed them for getting him, but, really... how many examples of Portland just riding on our coat tails do we need before it becomes comical??

Jason Hart was better?

I think Jarret's guaranteed money was given to him by OKC and he was part of the Kanter trade. OKC must have initially saw something in him and then concluded like Utah that he had no NBA talent.
Hart was bad. Not Amaechi bad.

I think the issue with Hart is that he was at least trying to play basketball. Ameachi acted like he had never even picked up a basketball once arriving in Utah. He had no desire to play. You could have picked a greencoat guarding the Delta Center aisle and got more effort at center.
But, of course, Sloan only hated him because he was gay.
