Royce O'Neale Over Bolomboy

meh.

I would rather have kept Bolomboy but whatever. I expect that 15th spot to change three times by years end anyway.
 
Tony Jones just tweeted that Bolomboy has "robust" interest on the open market. Expected to clear waivers tomorrow. Good for him.
 
It's good for our program when our rejects receive robust interest league-wide. Guys on the bubble will pay attention to this going forward. DL and the coaching staff are definitely maximizing the end of the roster.
 
I like everyone downplaying 15th roster spot moves like they don't matter... it's our 14th roster spot since Exum is likely missing most of the year... also we remember all the injuries from last year right. We gotta get everything we can from each roster spot. DL is doing great btw... I do wonder why we didn't trade Bolomboy if there was such a robust market for him.

I'm pretty confident that is what the Jazz were trying to do since they made their decision on keeping O'Neale whenever that was.

I'm sure they did too, which means there is a market for him, but teams aren't falling all over themselves.
 
How many teams even have open roster spots? I'm going to assume someone signs Bolomboy to a 2-way deal. I think I read the other day there are still 10 2-ways available.

Blazers, Clippers, Bucks, Hornets, Rocket, Thunder, Pistons, Celtics. May be missing some.
 
Because his guarantee was over $50k. The rule is in place to keep teams from doling out huge bonuses to stash players in the GLeague.

You can't really "stash" anybody in the GLeague though can you? Unless they're on the roster or on a two-way deal, everybody is free game to be picked up by anybody I thought.
 
Doubtful. Hayward was the spineless jerk. I think DL is adult enough to realize Hayward's agent had to invent the cover stories because that's what his client forced him to do. Bolomboy was made obsolete by Utah signing Udoh and Jerebko and getting Favs back. Where/when would he play? There's some of that with O'Neale...he's not going to see the court unless Utah has injuries, but the roster is more balanced by keeping him.

Bolomboy was made obsolete by the fact that he's kindof useless
 
It just came down to what makes sense.

The Jazz lost Exum, who could play 1-3. That slides Mitchell more to a primary back-up PG who will also play the 2.

Their other two 2-guards are Burks and Hood, who are both very injury prone. It just makes sense to carry more perimeter players than bigs.
