When's the last time jazz made a roster change going into Christmas??

Wtf. Waiving Green can be a good for our future. But not if our plan was to sign a nobody and give Niang, the worst player on the roster, some more playing time.

FFS why do they have to be so enamored with a f****** specialist who can only do one thing on the floor

Only do one thing? Are you blind? I see him suck in a variety of different ways.

He entered the 2019 draft and was undrafted. Played with the Bucks Summer League team averaging 10 ppg in Vegas.

Hmm. He wasn't at the Combine, and I'm not sure he was at Portsmouth either.

The Conley trade totally screwed us. Imagine how good this team would be with adding Bogey and having Faves/Crowder off the bench.

Conley might still pan out for the Jazz.

The LV summer stats are from the summer league webpage.

The waiving has to be about as brutal as when Pat Haden fired Lane Kiffin as USC football coach on the bus ride home from the airport right after a road loss.

What was the original tweet from And that Donovan called out?

What was the original tweet from And that Donovan called out?

" I don't know if this has anything to do with what happened today but there was a notable non-bench-celebrator on the bench in this video"

What was the original tweet from And that Donovan called out?

It was a clip of a Rudy putback dunk from tonight, the bench celebration, and Green's lack of participation in it.

Andy said something to the effect that he wondered if this had anything to do with him getting cut. I interpreted that to mean maybe Jeff saw it coming, rather than that his disengagement with the team was part of the reason to cut him.

Has to be tough for the whole team. A lot of changes and upheaval in one day.

As I said elsewhere, Larsen is just terrible. Easily the worst of the Jazz writers.

Here's what Donovan tweeted to Andy:

Cmon Andy! Jeff has been a great teammate all year don’t so that.... We all rock wit Jeff!

Okay there Debbie Downer.

We all asked for changes to the bench, now we get them and yet you're not satisfied.

Yes, we all asked for changes. That doesn't mean waiving one of your 10 best players to sign a Gleaguer is smart. Even worse... we don't even plan to play that gleague player that we were apparently desperate to sign. This is Juwan Morgan all over again. We sign them. Then we sit them so they can look pretty on the pine.

Green could have worked as a bench player here with the right pieces next to him. He played a bunch of minutes next to Davis and Niang which was not a good pair to put next him in order to showcase his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. He's a real NBA caliber player who could have helped us in a playoff series.

Sorry I can't bring myself to get excited to watch Tucker added to our collection of young players who will never play while Niang plays more and sucks on a whole new level. Just not exciting to me.

Niang's been playing a lot of his minutes with Green, which forced him to play the 3. With Green gone he can now play the majority of his minutes at the 4 , guarding 4's instead of 3's could help his defense.
