Sportando: Stanton Kidd expected to sign with the Jazz

[Handlogten's Heros]

Has that block where he snatches it out of the air.

He really jumped out on that play and I was like "who the eff was dat".

The difference is Bolomboy was already guaranteed and Royce beat him for the spot. I don't know if they'd guarantee both knowing they have to cut one, but maybe if there's no way they'd take a 2-way deal...

Nah, they signed Royce in mid July and Bolomboy didn't become guaranteed until October 1st, so they willingly went into camp with both of them guaranteed when they could have cut Bolomboy and saved money.

*this could be a reason they sell picks so they have the cash to do this kind of stuff*

Both Niang and Stanton haved play well. None of them are ******** the bed like Bolomboy did.

Its much easier to see Kidd's path to being a NBA rotation player than Niang's because of his athleticism to guard the perimeter.

Always a possibility someone else is going to make an offer to Georges. He's a RFA.

But he's also been at the Jazz facility all summer, went to the awards, etc. Jazz FO and key players really like him. And he's been their best player in SL. I see him making the team. Would be shocked if Kidd's deal is not a 2-way.

Bolomboy was partially guaranteed for like 300 or 400k

A few things:

1. If people like both Niang and Kidd and would be sad to see one go, it's another frustration with the roster spot occupied by a person whose ceiling with this team is a 15 mpg backup.

2. Remind me how many games/days a two-way can be on the parent roster? (I know that is a statement and not a question, but it's hard to essentially ask a question in the form of a statement).

3. HH, have you ever identified who this "higher up" was?

Well then they still opted to keep him on and give him more than double that for his full guarantee number.

I agree with this but I want them both so I think we should get 16 roster spots.

Yeah, basically all of those other players can't be cut. We basically have one space on the roster, and it's for a PF. I think 2-way contract increase team size to 17-- and I think it's crazy early to sign Kidd to a guaranteed contract so early on. At this point you have to think it's a 2way contract

500k of Bolomboy was guaranteed when he signed the contract.

Yeah, but his full guarantee number was 1.3 million (and it was 450K guaranteed according to hoops hype). So they willingly paid him nearly an extra million just to get him in training camp to compete for a roster spot. The first year of Kidd's rookie contract would be 840K, so it would not be unprecedented for Utah to pay that amount just to get someone in training camp.
