Was waived... should we claim him? Probably worth a roster spot...
Yeah its a 2 way or 14th/15th man... its someone lost in the sauce already... test em in the G League and see if its worth more testing at a higher level. Just thought its early to be giving up on him.No, not worth it with Keyonte on the roster. He'd get lost in the sauce. If it's a 2-way, whatever.
Oh he's not playing in real games unless we tanking and have a bunch of injuries. Its a prospect to get in the program and bake in the G league.IDK. Prolly not. Would be cool to pick him up mid-season after some of the weird bulges/logjams in the roster get ironed out. But I'm also just not generally a fan.
He's pretty pretty bad and if you sign him he's going to be the star of your G-League team where as you might want the guys who actually have potential that you send down to be the stars (which is my theory on why the Jazz sign more role player oriented 2-way guys).Yeah its a 2 way or 14th/15th man... its someone lost in the sauce already... test em in the G League and see if its worth more testing at a higher level.

Kenrich is an absolute lock. I think they already released and signed lindy to a two way. I think maybe Garuba is the most interesting of the guys that get cut… I’d pass on TyTy I suppose because there are going to be some interesting guys on the waiver wire. If no one picks him up and he’s available for a two way I’d consider that.Its interesting that Tyty was the easiest cut. I assume they had already decided to keep one of him or Mann, and Summer League was decisive in that race.
They still have tough cuts to make:
Oladipo, Bertans, Garuba are all probable cuts.
Locks (12):
SGA, Giddey, Chet, 2x Williams (Jaylin and Jalen), Dort, Joe, Dieng, Micic, Pokusevski, Wallace, Wiggins.
Also many OKC articles have Keyontae Johnson as a lock.
Others potentially on the bubble:
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Kenrich Williams, Tre Mann, Lindy Waters III, Olivier Sarr.
If we were to lock Johnson and Mann, it leaves just 1 spot for the others
What about Robinson-Earl? Any interest in him.Kenrich is an absolute lock. I think they already released and signed lindy to a two way.

He’s solid. I’d take him if we have a spot but he’s not like an upside swing imo.What about Robinson-Earl? Any interest in him.
PJ not signing a MLE offerOkay but what about PJ Washington? Just throw the MLE and see what happens?
I get why he wouldn't, but it seems that that's basically gonna be the best longterm contract offer he'll get. Otherwise, I guess he just takes the QO (which if the Jazz at least reached out to him this offseason might build some kind of connection for his UFA next year if there's interest).PJ not signing a MLE offer
I’d try to finesse a sign and trade if they really wanted him. MLE on an annual basis isn’t super different than his QO… I think it’s 7-8M. I’m sure they are trying to get him on a 4/60 type of deal… he may end up settling after watching FA this summer.I get why he wouldn't, but it seems that that's basically gonna be the best longterm contract offer he'll get.
