Pleiss

I think we're going to be happy with Pleiss. Of what I've seen of his offense, I think a lot of it transfers. Hard to stop that height. And he doesn't seem weak, either.

He better have triple checked his sources before reporting such info.

More important than what his actual sources are, he must out them, just like precisely no one else in his field would do or does. Because gregbroncs sez.

Don't we have like 3 guys who can just be cut by mid-season and aren't fully guaranteed?

Can, but why? If they aren't at the salary floor, then why on earth would they? Like I intimated, some of these guys are no-risk gambles that can be used as trade assets.

Like they decide they don't like them and they want to try some other guys out to keep the non-guaranteed thing going. It's what they did with Felix/Murray, right?

Ingles, Millsap an Cotton were hits (to one degree or another). I see Cooley and Johnson not being brought back though. They could try out 1-2 DLeaguers with their spots.

I think what GB was saying was what I was saying ... Jody should've tried to corroborate the source because it was such an outlandish rumor.

The last couple spots could be non-guaranteed until around he 10th of January, IINM (when by NBA rules players have to be released or their contracts become guaranteed for the remainder of the season). Not sure how the contracts of Cotton and Millsap are structured, but it would be pretty standard to have Hanlan and whoever else we might sign (Cooley, Johnson, Motum, Saunders, etc.) to have non-guaranteed deals.

I think we'll see less of a revolving door this year. Snyder was new and hadn't seen a lot of these players. Lindsey signed a few who seemed promising, but just didn't pan out. Now the team is MUCH deeper, they actually found a couple of guys they like through that whole process (Cotton and Millsap) and there just isn't much room on the roster, even at the back end.
 
This is from rotoworld.com.

Tibor Pleiss arrived in Utah on Saturday to discuss his future with the Jazz.
Pleiss is a seven-foot German center who currently plays for FC Barcelona in Spain, but he saw just 13.9 minutes per game last season. He does have great size and is an excellent shooter, but he wouldn't have more than a limited role off the bench if the Jazz decides to sign him. In terms of fantasy, he can be largely ignored in most leagues.

He can get about as much time with Utah as he did for FC Barcelona. Ideally, Gobert should play about 30. I know he wants more, but with the intensity he plays at, Rudy should be kept fresh, especially on the back-to-backs and those 4 games in 5 nights stretches. Besides, we're going to be blowing teams out. Pleiss can play a lot in the 4th quarter.
