Who's getting bought out this year?

We've played enough games where Niang's shooting is a worry...but he has been pretty solid defensively and he knows how to keep the offense moving. If he shoots like he has his whole career, suddenly you have a really good player. OTOH, I wouldn't mind seeing Oni or Morgan take some minutes from them. Probably Morgan...I think we undervalue that Niang is a bigger body. If Oni is playing we're putting a size burden on Ingles or Clarkson and I don't think that's a great idea.

As far as the buyout market, I would love to get RHJ. I'm not sure why he's struggled to find a team, but my guess is that he and his agent are just going to wait it out to find the best spot. A contender will come calling.

I really doubt he's holding out. He signed a non-guaranteed deal to go to camp with a team that's currently tied for the worst record in the league. And he got waived. I'm willing to bet he answers any phone call.
 
Jazz' doing it well. Won't put my money on the sustainability of it, but I probably won't mess with it either.
So, unless a way is found to address the Jokic/Davis/Embiid thing without jackpotting around too much...

Fair...but if I was his agent and teams were calling, I'd probably tell him to wait unless he's really hurting for paychecks. From all indications this season is a huge grind on the players and there's a lot of players who are unhappy/miserable with the protocols.

Tbh, the RHJ situation doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't know why he had to sign a NG in the first place. He played 20 MPG on a good team last year and was healthy for camp. I said the same thing with Shaq, but there's probably something we don't know (for Shaq it was an injury).

It would also help to have a monopoly on all the Rudy G’s. We need SA to crash and for Pops to do us a solid.

That's step 1. Step 2 is finding a way to get the other Bogdanovic from Atlanta so we can have lineups with Bojan Bogdanovic, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Rudy Gay, and Rudy Gobert. Opposing players will get confused about who they're supposed to guard and leave us open for layups

Quin is also hiring Rudy Giuliani as an assistant coach.

Holy cow, just realized Niang is down to 29% from 3.

His leash is quite long. How much longer can he play at such a sub-par level shooting wise (because he seems to be solid, if not good, on D so far.)

Probably to the point where teams sag off of him defensively and he can't make them pay. Right now he is better for our spacing than Oni, because teams defend him closely at the 3 point line.

If true, jazz are about to turn into a **** show.

At least he would try to get quin to use his challenges however.

Long term I think Oni is better as a spot up guy too... He gets his shot off super quick... if he can hit 35-40% you won't be able to give any space. Niang's jumper requires a little loading time.
 
Trevon Scott with the SLC Stars looked pretty good today from what little I could see. He was a UDFA pickup, like Juwan Morgan last year. Scott is a 6'8", 225-lb. wing who does a bit of everything. Not quite sure what level he does it at, but he's at least more mobile than Niang. He was 15/6/3 today with 3/5 from 3pt.
 
Niang's D has improved a little this season but his shooting has been awful. He's the only weak link in the rotation and it would be nice to upgrade.
