Jazz Sign Kris Dunn for ROS + 1-Year

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Good deal for all.

Dunn gets the rest of the season to prove his value to the NBA and Utah gets the flexibility of seeing whether or not they need him next season during training camp (guessing the team option date is either during camp or after camp).

Obviously if Utah is able to acquire a PG in free agency or the draft, the need for Dunn becomes substantially less.

Oh nice!

Nah. This is good. It feels like DA is still planning to be aggressive this off-season. He might need to clear some roster spots without guaranteed money attached to them. This allows them the opportunity to look at their options in FA and the draft before figuring out exactly what they need to do.

THT (Player Option)
Sexton
Dunn (Team Option)
Clarkson (Player Option - likely extended)
Agbaji
Markkanen
Fontecchio
Olynyk (Partially Guaranteed)
Gay (Player Option)
JTA (UFA)
Kessler
Jones (Player Option)
Azibuike (UFA)

Idk, we'll see. The team option deadline is already at the end of June. Also, I’m thinking Clarkson might want to move on.

If Clarkson stays the Jazz have JC, Bull, THT and Ochai as well as Dunn as guards. If they draft or trade for a guard, that makes the backcourt a tad crowded.

Well deserved. I just hope the jazz broadcast stop with the Dunn Puns for the love of god. Bolerjack - Get errrr dunnnn.. Remember Larry the Cable Guy?!

This is from the team's press release: "The Utah Jazz have signed guard Kris Dunn to a multi-year deal. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released." The word "multi" seems to imply longer term than this year and an option for next. I know "multi" is not real specific but if it was for this year and next why not say "two year deal?"

My question is that with every team having a “policy” that terms aren’t released, how is it that all the specifics get out to a very defined degree? Like, where do the cap sites get their data?

 

[ONE LOVE]

Does this mean were also tanking next year?

It strikes me that there is a lot of non-guaranteed money in the deal.

Yeah, the rest of this season and next - next season not guaranteed.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Why is my opinion less legit than, say, yours?

Because yours isn't an opinion based in reality. From the get go all you said was that the guy was trash. Then as he got minutes and played extremely well in those minutes you kept insisting that he was trash. As a minimum contract guy Dunn is an absolute home run.
