What's new

Motum offered contract

he won't make the real team, but it is obvious the FO wants serious competition in camp. Pleis, Lyles, Booker and Motum will all be duking it out, hopefully bringing out the best in all of them.

Hood and Burks will be competing hard for that starting gig. Whoever doesn't win it is likely going to be in serious contention for league 6th man award.

Exum is the assumed starter, but he'll have 3 ankle biters nipping at his heels/fighting amongst themselves.
 
No problem with this - Motum is a decent end of bench guy . More than likely he's back down under come November.
 
Wow... haven't we already got enough players?


LOL ...
We need 18-20 for training camp and have 2 roster spots open. There's a good chance DL/QS are debating over Cooley or Motum as their last big (I think Jerrett will be waived). Cooley is a banger and rebounder, but has few other skills. Motum is much more talented offensively. And the other final spot may come down to Johnson vs. Millsap. That's assuming Utah keeps 4 PG's.

Motum is good enough to sign with a Euro team. Maybe this keeps him around through training camp.
 
Folks... Jazz did this last year. Don't get too excited about it.

Wait... No!!! THE SKY IS FALLING. AHHHHHHHH!!!

Sheesh.

This is an insurance policy against an injury. It creates competition for players who are on the outside fringe looking in to go out and win a spot. It also keeps a player we would be comfortable keeping on the roster in our camp and not someone else's. Motum didn't have the best summer league, but he fills a need more than Cooley. Trades can still happen between now and October and there may be multiple spots to be had. Motum has got to be Adam *****'s nephew because they play a similar game. He is Jazz material. Let's get see what he does between now and October.
 
Keefe, Keefe...is that a bad word?

Well, that was my guess and I thought maybe it was some weird term from the Urban dictionary and that's why it got censored.
 
"Brock Motum is the cheap version of Trey Lyles."

Brock Motum is the cheap version of not a NBA caliber player...there I fixed it for you Hack.
 
As long as he never plays in any game that actually matters (garbage time excepted), I have no problem with this.
