Butler must have shown something in his GLeague exile. Quick bookkeeping question. Does that amount of money he earns on the two way get deducted from what the Jazz owed him on the guaranteed contract?

OKC reinforcing the tank... or setting up a big revenge game?

We don't even have to try and tank now. Butler for the win!

Definitely hoping for the revenge game. Would be great to see Butler play well.

Still wild to me the Jazz kept Balmero over Butler. Had to have been a personality thing cuz Butler is eons better

I don't know about that. Butler's GLeague team was one of the worst in the GLeague. I think more than one source alluded to his bad personality. Quin sure didn't trust him.

JC officially out tomorrow night, along with Sexton.

Sneaky tanking eh? Why not sit lauri

JC also on the same flight as everyone else for the 6-game roadtrip. So that probably means any talk of surgery is out the window and it's more likely he returns sooner rather than later.

Alternate injuries/rest. Sit JC one night then Lauri sits when JC is back.

I'm guessing SGA misses both games though. Still think its a split in OKC.

He's proably waiting to see how it heals. If it needs surgery it's his decision. A guy looking for a new contract might not want off-season surgery.

are the clippers now 0-4 with russell westbrick?

Even if there was some shenanigans going on Sexton should not be the one to sit because of them. His contract is why.

We need to develop him and his value, and every game he sits out hurts the latter because of his injury history.

We dont really have many appealing players to package on a big trade if such opportunity presents itself.
