Added to Calendar: 10-19-23

This is Luka Samanic's last game before his contract-guarantee date (10/23). Same with Kris Dunn.

Dunn will earn $2.5M if his contract is fully guaranteed. Samanic will earn $600k with a chance to earn $2M if he sticks past January. I think Dunn is in the clear. I'm not sure about Samanic.
I wonder if they wait on Luka and give him his extra 600K… if nothing good becomes available just keep him until you can start alternating 10 day deals. With 3 two way deals I think maybe the waiver wire gets less interesting than I thought.

I don’t care that it’s just a two way but I’d find something better to do with Potters spot.

One guy we don’t “need” per se that I think doesn’t have a guaranteed deal is Javonte Green… he’s a dawg defender and fine shooter… surprised he hasn’t gotten a guaranteed min deal… he’s in GS camp.
 
Damn just realized this one will be blacked out and I don’t think I get the comcast Sacramento station on YouTube tv… boooooooo!
 
TH has gotten in before Luka all but one game iirc. I think he starts.

THT
Sexton
Simone
Hendricks
Kessler
 
I can see the Jazz saying au revoir to Luka. There are too many guys playing his position and I doubt Ainge sees him as a long term building block.
