I think this is a guy the front office totally whiffed on. It's like they had beer googles on after the MVP Summer League performance.

In Ian's last action with the team he got 13 minutes vs. the Blazers 3 points an assist and a steal and +5 while on the floor. I wonder when he got the bullet behind the ear?

You mean the rest of his money to walk away....
We gave the guy two years and a bunch of money. Turns out he doesn't have an NBA position. He might be back... this was purely a contract flexibility move.
It is interesting to me that Clark's SL success came as a scoring PG. He was running high pick and rolls and killing it with floaters, etc. He never got the chance to do that in Utah with Trey, Gordon and Alec.
In the role he was playing he clearly was a below average 3 and D guy. I don't feel that bad that he is gone but I wonder if he was given Trey's role/minutes for a couple of games what we would have seen.

I remember the game vs. Golden State last season when they were killing the Jazz and he got in in garbage time and hit a bunch of shots in a row that forced Mark Jackson to call a time out and put his starters in to quell the riot.
I was at that game - it made for a very disappointing birthday present. I remember hoping to see more from Clark after that, but it didn't happen.

Considering the FO's recent signings we're way more likely to end up with Frederic Weis.

if the FO had the balls to get rid of Gobert's friend, this spells trouble for Evans.
Would be very surprised to see Evans back considering how little he has played. Ian's uncle whom i worked with is very upset by this news.
It would definitely be frustrating to be waived at this late stage in the season, even if it was pretty obvious Clark wouldn't be with the Jazz next season. Hopefully he gets another shot and find some more success elsewhere.
In terms of the Jazz possibly waiving Evans this season still or just not re-signing him in the offseason?

Jeremy's contract runs through the end of the season. I don't know maybe waive him and sign Jarvis Varnardo?

I would think not re-signing him, but we have seen some interesting movement at the end of our bench ever since DL arrived in town. At times I think he is more concerned with the end of our bench than our team as a whole.
I agree with you, despite Evans being a fan favourite I would not re-sign him next season.
Lindsey seems more concerned about finding rough diamonds in D-League and in the draft rather than being more proactive in trades and free agency.

If they are looking for assets Evans ain't it. Good dude but the end of the trail is in sight.

which is sad. Evans is so uniquely gifted and cursed. Someone has to be able to put his unique talents to work for him. Unfortunately, he is starting to get up there in age. Really hope some other team picks him up and finds a use for him. He comes with his definite negatives, but with the right fit, could be a really good player to have on your team.
