Looks like all the training camp scrubs (those guys with non-guaranteed contracts) are going to be given a bus ticket home and a John Stockton TShirt for their trouble.
Training Camp Scrubs
- Thread starter homeytennis
- Start date
For their trouble? They got invited to an NBA training camp. They should be damn thankful the Jazz deemed them worthy of an invite.
And got paid something plus their per diem. Good post Stoked.
Also, Quinn may have an outside shot at making the roster if Watson isn't ready by the start of the season and the Jazz finally get rid of Braille.
FWIW, during the radio broadcast of Saturday's game, Locke seemed very confident that Quinn will see time in the NBA this season. He's at least seen all of the preseason games so far.

Definitely not a Wes Matthews in this group.
This is where the Raja Bell things has become an embarrassment. Jazz are carrying 15 contracts into the season. Customarily they carry 14 - I think the plan was to get Earl Watson's knee into shape and then trade him. Perhaps for a second round pick or a trade exception - and replace his spot on the contract with a D-Leaguer or 10 Day player or maybe Quinn for the minimum. They are less likely to do that now with Bell in limbo - an injury or two could make this team awfully thin in a hurry.
Jeez what a cluster ****.

Chris Quinn has also played 3225 regular season minutes in the NBA, plus 24 more playoff minutes. He's not a D-League scrub.
Same. I'd never heard of him until I heard he was going camping with the Jazz.

I remember him quite a bit in Miami. Thought he played with James as well, but left the year James came in.
He should still be thankful as hell that the Jazz gave him the chance to showcase himself a little. Maybe it will result in him getting on as a 3rd string somewhere.
I am sure he (and the other invites) are greatful for any chance they get to keep the dream alive.
Oh I am sure they all are.
That was your 7,777th post.
Find your own jock rider! Stop trying to steal mine!
Not one worth noting.
Is that what I've become? Ugh.
