Would it be legal to give Kidd like a $500,000 signing bonus, sign him to a make the final 15 contract, and then if he doesn't sign him to a two way contract or a Stars contact with paltry GLeague money?

- Start date
That would make more sense, but at the time it seemed to be everyone was under the impression it was October 1st.

Agree... maybe they sign both and guarantee like $275k (the G league max two way salary) this year and winner gets the spot. Not sure it's legal, but I could see the guys signing one of those deals. Have a mid October guarantee date.

It's not, the league prevented that loophole. You can sign them to minimum deals with the Exhibit 10 attachment which gives the Jazz the right to convert it to a two-way contract before the season. The problem with that is it can only be a one-year minimum which limits the upside from the Jazz perspective.

Yeah I couldn't find anything else, so it makes some sense... many of our reporters were also under the impression we could trade the NG players and take on salary too... Jazz are kinda tight lipped about this stuff.
Long story short... I'm a huge Niang fan but wouldn't be surprised if we picked Kidd for the last roster spot. He seems like he could be a good 3 and D type... get another one on the cheap and it really benefits your roster planning and budgeting.
Yeah, but what if you've got a max guy like Niang locked up on a minimum deal?

You have a point... Niang is so fun... that touch pass on the break yesterday.
Maybe we cut/trade AB... I don't know... I need Lavar's power to speak things into existence. I could see both guys being high level role players, but Niang is more fun to me... in a Joe Ingles "how the hell is that guy good" way.

We should trade AB to a team that will give him PT for a second rounder. He needs a reboot. I think he still has a future in the NBA but as the Jazz are now constituted, no way. If he had been able to transition to the point and be a Lou Williams-type player, he would've been great but he doesn't have the mid-range skills of Lou.
Package him with another roster-occupier.
Did anyone else watch that first video and think, "Wow, that Grayson Allen kidd is really good."? I saw some passes, a steal, and hustle that I didn't see in the GA highlight videos
I have officially moved from hating the pick, to excited to see what he does this coming season. Thanks DL, and JF.

AB will have a lot more value at the trade deadline. If the Jazz need to create another roster spot, look for them to waive Neto. Allen's performance in the SL makes Neto very expendable.

I think Kidd will be on the roster. I’m not sure what will happen with Niang, but I think Kidd is better insurance for when Thabo inevitably gets injured.
