The Jazz have temporarily lost his rights as he can sign with anyone but the Stampede hold his rights as I think with Cooley.

It's been a day and no one has gotten their walking papers today.

It looks like that last spot is between Cotton, Johnson and Graham. Which one gets to stay on the island?
It would make most sense to keep Cotton. Just my opinion. We have more depth at other positions, and our PG spot is either unproven, or ineffective if we go by recent history.
So keeping an extra unproven and ineffective PG is really improving the depth?

Not necessarily good depth, but another body in case of injury, and the odds that one of them will prove to be a good place holder.
It's not like our team will be any better no matter which one we choose. We might as well choose to keep someone in our least solid spot. Either that or cut them all and get a more proven PG some other way, but I honestly don't see much out there that would be better than Cotton anyways.

Ben Gordon is available. He got waived by Golden State ysterday. He was the third player taken in the 2004 draft. Has some mileage on the tires but might be a good placeholder for a year until X gets back.

Locke brought up a good point on his podcast the other day about how brining in a potential vet pg to take minutes might cause issues. We have this nice young group, that likes each other, thats working hard, and believes in the team. And brining in a vet to just be a filler could easily screw up the chemistry and camaraderie of the team.
With that said I have really been wanting us to grab a vet pg, but I do think Lockes concerns are valid.
Locke, via twitter says that the battle for the final two spots is down to 4 players: Cotton, Withey, Johnson and Graham.
I say Withey and Johnson take it. Cotton is the dark horse and Graham is toast.
He also said, again, "remember Joe Ingles was not on Jazz roster at this point last year. Lots can happen". Just caution or trying to hint at something?

I suspect that the front office and coaches are looking at the waiver wire to see what's out there.

I would too. I was hoping he would be the next Wesley Matthews.
He could be better than Johnson. I hope Quin gives him a chance.
I'm hoping for Withey and Johnson. I think Withey is a lock. Johnson showed he can score last season. I don't think he's reached his potential.
I like Cotton but his preseason was inconsistent and that is concerning. Had he played better Burke could have been expendable.
Let's not forget that Elijah Millsap has an unguaranteed contract as well. Has he secured a spot on the final roster?
I'm not a Millsap fan, I think there are more talented players in D-League.

I do miss Mr. Nobody. He was absolutely a god-send when he was here. Like Dennis Rodman with brains and shooting ability!
The way Coach Snyder talks about him, I would say Millsap is safe.
Johnson has also demonstrated he can't really dribble against any kind of pressure. He isn't the best passer either. That said Graham would have to do something great to have a chance.
As sad as this may sound, the Jazz could probably benefit from getting Randy Foye back from the Nuggets. Unless he's just completely done.
