Haas Injury Question

[homeytennis]

Does his injury cause him to be counted as one of the fifteen regular roster spots until he is healed at which time the Jazz release him?

No. He can be cut at any time. They still have to pay him if he is unable to play basketball due to his injury by Opening Night, but he doesn't count as a roster spot. The amount they pay him depends on his contract - if it's an Exhibit 9, they pay him $6k and that's it. Otherwise his contract becomes active and they pay him salary until he is fit to play basketball again, or until the end of the season. Although "per team policy, details of the contracts were not disclosed", I would expect all our training camp invitees are on Exhibit 9 contracts.

Haas is a large angry human... he's a stars player, but for all of our safety lets give him what we promised regardless of health.

I can now foresee a wave of homeytennis threads speculating on whether the jazz might be interested in Player X, who is currently injured, but certain to be released from Team Y once he's cleared for contact.

There is a storm brewing...

My concern was that he would initially count as one of the fifteen and the Jazz would have to dump a player.

Let's talk about how massive this guy is. He's ginormous. Purdue listed him at 290, there's no f'ing way. If he's under 300 I'll eat my shorts.

Agreed. He is a giant. Legs are trees

Guess we won't see him this year. Maybe a 2-way player next season in order to keep him?

According to Eric Woodyard The Jazz waived Haas today.
