Who Should the Jazz Cut?

I think Howard and Brantley have the most upside for spots 14 and 15. Howard has shown he can shoot though he didn’t do much in last nights game. Brantley has some mad hops but lacks on court awareness. NWG looks like a third string point guard out there but there is nothing there that makes me think he will be anything special. Kidd looks like a good leader out there for a third string unit but I still think the jazz should fill up the backend with upside rather than pieces that have already been decided that’s where they belong. I think Howard and Brantley would fit the 14 and 15 best. Send Kidd NWG and JWF to the G league.

The big questions on this team are on the defensive side. That gives Kidd and Brantley a definite edge over the likes of NWG and Howard.

My gut tells me that Niang will definitely make the roster.

I think Kidd is the leader in the clubhouse, but JWF may be gaining ground with his DNP/CD, Oni was awful, NWG looked decent and Niang looked like he would be a heck of a player for the Stars. Howard did nothing tonight and Kidd was decent. Heck of a Stars team we are building.

JWF is already on a two-way

NWG looked terrible. Once again drove into the lane and lost control of the ball. Terrible handles for a PG and can't get around anybody. My vote is NWG goes. Georges looks to be playing himself out of the rotation, I think Brantley plays that position better and has more upside.
 
I’d be surprised is it isn’t one of Howard/Kidd based on how their contracts are structured. My guess is that the Jazz pick one and put the other guy on notice.

Show something before the deadline for the contract to become fully guaranteed or Brantley gets called up for the rest of the year and they both get cut.

Based on what I’ve seen so far, I think Kidd is the odd man out and likely ends up back with the Stars. Howard gets a shot to stick and compete with Brantley for the 15th spot with JB for the rest of the season after that.

IF the Jazz cut bait on NWG, I’d expect them to pick up another PG to fill that role instead of keeping both of the bubble wings.
 
Didn’t DL say teams were interested in NWG? Time to parlay him into a second rounder.
 
That's something I wondered about. It seemed odd that you had 16 contracts plus two two ways going into camp. It seems that the sneaky front office might have something up their sleeves.

Uhh, every team goes into camp with 20 contracts.
 
"Nigel, thank you for meeting us. The franchise has made the decision to release you. We thank you for your contributions, and we wish you all the best in your next endeavour."

...is what I would say.

Nigel will make the team. He is fine as a steady option should Mudiay, Exum not work and we don't want to go the Ingles, DM backup pg route.

I think Howard makes it over Kidd... I think there are lots of guys that can defend but can't shoot so I think we could find another guy like Kidd. I just think Howard has more potential and when we are talking about 15th roster spot and a guy not likely to play... I'd rather go for the higher upside option.

I don't have faith that Kidd can develop his shot because he has some really bad misses... I think guys with shooting potential will miss at times but he seems to have more airballs or balls that slam off the backboard than others. We are kind of stacked at the small ball 4 position so maybe they prefer a more wingy type like Kidd.
