Hamilton Waived

But they were having to pay him for the games he sat. I know it's not a lot of $$$ but I doubt Larry Miller would have allowed that.

By my calculations $25K or so (if a minimum contract is pro-rated by number of games the team has played). IINM, Jazz are at about $57M in salaries, which puts them in the bottom third of the league. They certainly have the money to bring in players off waivers or on 10-day contracts for a test drive. Besides, waivers are tricky; unless you are the worst team in the league, you're not sure you'll be granted the rights to a player. Maybe the jazz really just wanted Ingles, but weren't positive he'd make it down to them. Or maybe they did want Hamilton, had planned on assigning to him to the D-League but he and his agent didn't think it was a good fit.
