Utah jazz sign Josh Christopher on a two way deal.

I don't understand the thinking here. Christopher is a legit nba prospect and Preston isn't.

Preston makes your actual NBA talent you want to develop better.

Preston was taken with third pick in the second round in 2021, Christopher must have been a cancer or really pi$$ed in the chile.

If so there are a bunch of pissed off (or pissed on) Chileans right now.

Ainge was going to eat the chile. Now we know the real story.

I was a fan of Preston in the '21 draft too. Reminded me of a very, very poor man's LaMelo. Unfortunately he got injured his first year with the Clips. Super crafty with a high bb iq but don't think he has NBA athleticism. If the main goal is to develop Hendricks and Sensabaugh then Preston is the better fit over someone like Christopher.

I haven't time to follow this closely. Are we no longer contractually linked to Josh Christopher?? Would rep for an update on this.

That's been my theory for the past year. Idk why else you hold onto Micah Potter for so long while never actually giving him NBA minutes.

The 2 way contract is a decent salary now so guys will stay around and it helps build continuity for your team for your actual NBA talent you send down there to prosper

A two way pays roughly $500,000 per season. The GLeague wage annually through an Exhibit 10 and playing the full season is a little more than $100,000.

We waived him like a week ago and signed Jason Preston to his 2-way spot.

I didn't watch the last 6 minutes of the game, but ESPN says Christopher played?

I didn't watch it either so I was surprised to see that in the boxscore. Have we seen anything that says the jazz signed Preston at the expense of Christopher because I haven't seen anything? Wasn't Romeo Langford also on a 2 way contract because he would make way more sense to get rid of than Christopher who is coming off his best game.
