Funny, a little more than a decade and a half ago, this question would sound weird.
And remember kids, if you ever use Jazzfanz App, use it safe.

My $.25 opinion: Trey is the man. Great performance. Pleiss ought to be waived. We lost the Kanter trade. JJ was awful, tip of the hat to Butterfield and Christmas. Interesting stats that the only guys with + numbers were Paige, Wallace and Ford for what it's worth. I thought Bolomboy looked worse than the first night. He appears to not be NBA ready. I suspect that Pleiss, Paige, Wallace, and Ford will be Salt Lake Stars. I think four players is the max that the big team can designate.
If Pleiss is under contract then he doesn't count towards the 4 they can designate. He would just be assigned there.

Like he needs to lose 15 lbs.
IDK how many of his rebounds are actually contested though.
I have a Pleiss question for anyone who knows the CBA/cap stuff.
If Pleiss is 3 million dollars this year and we cut him, does he still count against the books? So, since we are X amount of dollars below the floor (I think it's like 6 million? Just a guess though) we have to pay that out to our guys in bonuses at the end of the year if we dont somehow get to the floor. So if it does count against the books and we get an extra 3 million below the floor by cutting Pleiss, the Jazz would just have to pay an extra 2 million dollars in bonuses (assuming we sign Bolomboy who would cost <1 million on his first year).
If that is the case, I dont see us cutting Pliess because that would be spending 6 million dollars just to get him off the team.

His next year is not guaranteed. If the Jazz cut him (or more likely buy him out so he can go back to Europe), they're on the hook for his contract this year and nothing more. On the flip side, they can trade him and Diaw at the deadline, giving another team $10 million in cap space next year if a valuable acquisition for the offseason came available. I'm thinking Rudy Gay in particular. Jazz could throw some picks at Sacramento, match the salaries, rent him for the last part of the season and have his Zbird rights if they want to retain him in the offseason.
Agreed. And 2 games is not much of a sample size. And competition is not so good. But I'll take it anyway.
