Summer League Thread

Didn’t Butler say he wasn’t sure if he could/would play summer league? Thought I heard something like that, could be wrong though.

Something about waiting for trades to complete that were hinging on other deals. I would presume if they let us hold a press conference then he should be good to go, but I have no idea.

That's still unclear according to last news:
"Though Butler is in Salt Lake City the Jazz, his availability for summer league remains in question. The Jazz originally owned the 30th pick in the draft but traded down with the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for the 40th pick and two future second-rounders.

Until the deal is fully cleared by the NBA and the guard can sign a contract with the Jazz, his status with the team remains in flux."
 
The schedule has been released:

Tuesday 03.08:

Memphis vs Utah Jazz Blue at 5pm
Spurs vs Utah Jazz White at 7pm

Wednesday 04.08

Spurs vs Utah Jazz Blue at 5pm
Memphis vs Utah Jazz White at 7pm

Friday 06.08:

Utah Jazz Blue vs Utah Jazz White at 7 pm

IDK why it hasn’t gone through unless the league year has to turn first. It may be partly about his contract because there are some options there… it’s not like with a first rounder (which is one reason it may have been wiser to take him in the first but oh well).

We could wait until FA opens up too. I believe we can offer him a two year deal but if we use part of the taxpayer MLE we can do a three year deal. If we find there isn’t anyone awesome that will take our MLE then you use 1M of the exception to tack another year on the deal.

Drafted guys have played in summer league without contracts since forever. I'm really puzzled about the trade not being finalized but for some reason we can hold a press conference. At least be consistent.

Not sure if this negotiation will be similar to other years… because he was a higher rated prospect but also has some injury stuff he may want to get money locked in before suiting up… we also might want to understand our full options prior to signing that deal.
 
If I'm Butler's agent I'm working hard to get him a sizable chunk of guaranteed money
