No **** the Jazz are trying like hell to trade him lmao.Gay fell behind both Hernangomez and Paschall in the rotation by the playoffs. Coaches argue that it was matchup-dependent, but that's probably being generous. Jazz will get a read on his status within the first two days of camp.
If it were me, I'd try like hell to trade him or consider buying him out. Jazz need to know if there is any team in the entire league that wants him. We have to assume the Jazz tried to trade him all summer.
Would Suns trade Crowder for Gay
Would that work money wise
Next question is what Jazz do with Crowder
What would Suns do with Gay
There’s also zero reason to give up on him. He had a ****** summer league. He had a great preseason last year and had a few sparkles last year. He showed the ability to get a separation last year. Didn’t hit his step back but it’s a shot he showed he can create. I’d like to keep him but with our present roster situation he won’t be playing much.There's ZERO reason to be optimistic on JB at this point and he absolutely deserves to be one of the players cut and based on tweeting from Larsen he has not impressed this off-season.
What you mean there is no reason? Somebody has to get cut. You aint really got an option, some players have to go. And I'm sorry, a 2nd year guy who was an upperclassmen from college shouldnt be that bad in SL in their 2nd year.There’s also zero reason to give up on him. He had a ****** summer league.

We’ll see I guess… they got a month to figure some shot out.
I don’t think you are wrong… I just think it’s all on the table right now. If they decided to just let him go now to remove a potential distraction I wouldn’t be surprised. If he’s still on the roster at year end I’d be mildly surprised.Maybe I'm wrong and Gay is making a huge stink behind the scenes and they come to a buyout agreement, but I'm not seeing it.
I think the realization that Gay will probably be on the roster all year is what led them to selling a bit low on Bogey.I don’t think you are wrong… I just think it’s all on the table right now.

There’s no on court reason to give up on him as a prospect. He had a ****** summer league… it’s not ideal obviously but it’s a small wonky sample to make judgements. There is enough history as a college shooter to believe he brings those percentages up. Roster crunch sucks but development isn’t always this linear progression… sometimes you have to give it a little time.What you mean there is no reason? Somebody has to get cut.

Like I said, I truly think this isnt predetermined. Players will have a chance to prove themselves. Butler has a lot of factors working against him though, so he really has to be above and beyond better.
Also, if they just wait until next offseason, they can stretch the $6 million.No **** the Jazz are trying like hell to trade him lmao.
They arent going to just waive him for nothing though when he can be used for salary matching in big trades. His 16 mpg isnt going to ruin our roster.
The same as any other team: just kill him.<...> What would Suns do with Gay
