Jazz waive bye bye to Cotton and Graham

[NCJazz]

He had some good games last year too. I think he is an NBA player, but this is clearly the right move for us. He hasn't played well in really limited time. Withey became available for cheap and Tibor hasn't played well yet. We needed Jeff.

Cotton will play somewhere in the League again. He should consider going to Europe for a year or two unless he gets an NBA gig this year.

China becoming very popular as well because the season is short enough that a player could possibly finish there and still play in the NBA in the same season.

Possibly.

Any interesting PG's been waived? Seems more likely to me they waive Johnson before he becomes guaranteed then go on the 10-day contract spree with some D-League players before settling on someone.

I doubt they are going to waive him with all their PG injury issues but McConnell from AZ and the 76ers looks like a good player.

Yeah, I don't think Johnson should be in the market for a house or an extended lease quite yet. I'll bet we acquire a waiver wire wonder.

 

[Jamezz]

Really too bad. Cotton was a summer league beast but just isn't big enough for the NBA and doesn't quite have the freak athleticism to compensate for the size difference.

I disagree, his athleticism wasn't more of an issue than his decision making:

What are the guaranteed status of Marshall, Wroten, Jackson, and Canaan? I want to say all 4 are guaranteed. So it seems like McConnell would be a sure cut.

Surprised by Cotton this preseason, I thought he could be a good backup. Glad we got wolfie though, and TB must be breathing a little easier.

Yeah, in that play it was great. He could never drive and elevate through the slightest contact at his weight to finish at or above the rim with power. All of his finishes where english-based prayers high off the back board.

Surprised if Jackson is guaranteed. Wroten and Marshall are injured so still a chance TJ could make it. Also even guaranteed guys of course can be cut. Philly is way below cap line still. Of course they are paying big bucks to McGee and Wallace for waiving them.

Though I doubt the jazz interest in McConnell since his game closely mirrors Neto's and it's arguable he is a worse shooter and athlete.

Jackson is guaranteed through the first 2 years, they just signed him this year.

Guaranteed one-year contracts don't really factor in whether you cut or not for Philly because they still have to pay up to the cap floor anyways. So if there really is no "saving money" incentive they will keep whoever they think fits, which I really have no idea between Jackson and McConnell. Wroten, Marshall, and Canaan should be locks.

Best player candidate for MIP of the Jazz is out? **** happens. Things just got less exciting.



Remember:


Rudy Gobert was sent to D-League.


He turned back from fighting his inner Balrog.

As the White Mithrandir.
