The Jeff Green waive is strange. I wonder if it is a sign of friction/misalignment between Snyder and front office. It could be that front office wants to see more of the young players and coach preferred to stick with the vets. If the front office wanted to force the development of Brantly and Niang then this is the type of move you make. Will be interesting to see if TB gets more playing time over Davis in the coming weeks.

It was strange, but it's also the same thing that happened with Joe Johnson. The Jazz played him til the end they agreed to part ways.
 
I think both moves signal QS's rising power in the organization or upper management's acknowledgement that some of the decisions they made were incorrect.

Either way it's a good thing.

The idea of a conflict between Snyder and the FO does make sense. I can see with Quin not playing Dante, this was a submission to Quin. But the waiving of Green seems to signal a FO power play.
 
The Jazz needed scoring off of the bench and Clarkston will provide that. Green was a huge minus for the bench, and the Jazz have promising young players that couldn't possibly be as bad. I can't wait to see Brantley get some minutes

I'm just wondering how the GLeague guy factors into this. Is Quin going to expand his rotation to 11-12 guys to keep guys fresh or is the guy destined for duty with the Stars.

It doesn't. None of the young guys will play.

Gobert/Davis
Bogdanovic/Niang
Oneale
Ingles/Clarkson
Mitchell/Mudiay

That's almost certainly the rotation until Conley gets back. Then it will be something like....

Gobert/Davis
Bogdanovic/Oneale
Ingles
Mitchell/Clarkson
Conley

With Mudiay or Niang as the 9th guy. Probably Niang knowing Quin.
 
So first the Exum Trade:

After letting is sit for a bit, I get the trade especially since it was clear he wasn't going to get any playing time and the bench needs scoring so on the surface it is good. However I personally would've like to see Exum get some consistent burn off the bench to prove that he couldn't help the bench this year with his defense and energy.

However will have to see how the pieces fit together now and see if it is too many ball stoppers coming off the bench or if they can play the way Quin's offense asks.

Jeff Green release:
Didn't like it at first and prolly am in the minority that I thought he should start but be the first sub basically playing about the same minutes as he was off the bench. Which leads to why I get why he was released, the bench needed energy and that's not Jeff Green. That job is generally the young guys fighting for a job or larger role (see GSW's GLeague guys now playing). But Jeff did have the physical traits of what this Jazz team is sorely lacking a combo of length and athleticism so that still stings a bit.
