Interesting Tweet from yesterday: "Dennis Lindsey says the Jazz have had Tyler Haws helping Dante Exum during his 3-on-3 rehab. Helps Dante, gives Jazz another look at Haws." Perhaps is Haws a summer league player and training camp invite?
 
I hope haws plays on the SL team. Dude can put the ball in the hoop. Would be one more player that I would have interest in watching.

Would make marketing sense for us but wonder if he can make good money in Europe... Seems like he's tailor made for Europe.

For sure. I wouldn't expect him to want to be on our sl team.... Nothing in it for him. But for my own selfish reasons I would like him on the team.
 
Lindsey said this in his Friday interview last week. It was a part of his response to a question about why they work out all these guys who have little chance of making an NBA roster. Lindsey said the Jazz organization believes in building relationships in the community by supporting local college coaches, players and programs. And that by building good relationships sometimes good things come back to you. He used Tyler Haws as an example of a good thing coming back to the Jazz. My impression was Lindsey was clear that Haws was an Euro League player, under contract there, but the Jazz let him work out in their facility and him working out there helps both parties.

D league needs to up their salaries and game... If NBA raises age limit I wonder if HS guys would stay here if the could play DLeague... If money lined up it might make sense.

I've capped on DL a bit for his handling of free agency last year but that guy just seems like he gets it. Glad he's here and I'm looking forward to him killing the draft again.

I agree. Make it a true minor league. Have a 3-5 round draft. Make it so you can enter the draft out of high school. If you are taken in the first round, you have to play in the NBA. If you are taken in rounds 2-3 (or 5) you can go to college. If you go to college, you aren't eligible for the draft for three years.

Solves all the problems. Every team has their affiliate D League team. You can send players up and down. Just copy baseball.

The NBA has never embraced copying the baseball major/minor league structure. Why I don't know. Once you get past the superstars, it seems to be that there are a lot of equal players riding NBA benches vs. RLeague starters.
