It Looks Like All the Non-Guaranteed Guys Are Gone

Selfish player attitudes can be changed by a good coach. So after the tank we need a good coach. If Corbin isn't it, then move on.

The writing is on the wall for all the non guaranteed guys. The Jazz sign Tinsley because???? Sorry but it was nice knowing all of them. I hope they get a good contract overseas.
 
It's simple arithmatic, the Jazz never have 15 guys on the roster at the start of the season so that they have flexibility for a trade or injuries. Tinsley makes 14 contract players. Now, they do have injuries so someone might stay on for a bit, but as soon as 3,Rush,Marv are better it'll be cut down to 14.

Not only are those three injured but Evans has missed games and Biedrins hasn't exactly lit the world on fire (not that anyone expected him to do so). In addition, Clark has $200K guaranteed. From late December (when the team hits 33 games) to January 10 (when contracts become guaranteed) the team could cut Clark for nothing. End result they could keep a 15th guy and when everyone is healthy they either keep that guy or Clark, whoever is playing better. The only downside is it costs them a little salary cap space in case a small salary dump becomes available.

Side note: I never understand the "flexibility" argument the Jazz make that the 15th player prevents a 2-for-1 trade. If the roster is full and you make that trade, you just waive a guy at that time. It's easy and teams do it all the time. Honestly it's just Jazz code for "we don't want to pay a 15th guy to wear a suit to games." That doesn't apply right now with three or more players sidelined.

I said nothing about them leaving on their own, I specifically said 'trade'. I am not implying that they will strop trying, I am saying that they will become selfish self centered hero ballers aka Mo, and will no longer have value on a team that tries to play an organized system style of basketball.

Because that's exactly what happened to OKC when they let their young picks play big minutes and had a couple of terrible seasons.
 
Rotowire.com's crew seems to think Dominic McGuire will stick around. His status is as follows:

"McGuire is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's exhibition against the Clippers due to tendinitis in his right ankle, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Spin:
The injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but the Jazz will likely rest him for the final two preseason contests to ensure that he is healthy when the regular season rolls around."

Lol

All I am saying is that if they start to play hero ball other teams will notice and their trade value goes down.
