What's new

Weaver cut from the team

Al Jefferson Plays the 5 so he should continue to play that, but Earl Watson may play again. Maybe not in the same arena, or same number, but he might play.
 
This is unreal. He drops 19 on the Kings last Sunday and gets the boot today. Just to save a few bucks. No one is going to want to play here if that's the way players are treated.
I don't think anyone will decline coming to Utah because of how the Jazz treated Weaver. He was a D-league call up on a 10-day contract, and he played 10 days. Unlike many D-league call-ups, he played in all 5 games while with the Jazz (71 minutes). He's probably grateful for the opportunity to remind the NBA what he can do.

When the Jazz picked him up, they were missing Harris, Price, Bell and AK. The PG and SG spots were very thin. With Harris back (and who knows what Price/Bell's status is), they just don't need him for two meaningless games. They picked him up in an emergency situation, and now the emergency is over.
 
I would never expect Weaver to be a regular starter in the NBA, but I did think he was already better than Ronnie Price even though he was new to the plays and the system.

Let us be honest. The Kings game was an aberration anyway. They really did not even guard him at all. Pretty sporadic and erratic in the other games, but i can still see him being a 12th,13th guy on a roster. We probably did not want to spend any extra money in two meaningless games. Let Hayward play 40+ and see if CJ can give some effort and earn a pickup on his contract.
