Evens signs 3 year 5.5 million

I'm good with this deal. I'm not a huge fan of Evans but for as cheap as this contract is I don't see a problem with it.
 
Jazz must really like Evans and see some real upside in him to give him this kind of contract.
 
So since Evans is a RFA can he re-sign with Jazz without taking any offer sheets from other teams?
 
Good locker room guy, and really he's being paid to be a practice player who occasionally comes in to rest the starters. I don't mind it, it isn't that much for a player that young with his athleticism.
 
Jazz already tendered him so other teams were free to sign him to a sheet. I'm fine with the deal because 3 years at such a low cost is a totally reasonable investment. There's no urgency to get him on the court and there is upside. I think he could at least be an Amundson, but he's a better athlete. At worst, he's not bad in a pinch and cheap insurance if we need a backup big because he'll know the system.
 
Are you comfortable with Evans as our 4th big?

Really?

you mean, am I comfortable letting Evans be the guy who gets 0 - 15 minutes a game?
Sure. I'd like another journeyman in case the matchups aren't favorable, but, sure.

.... what if one of our 3 bigs get injured?

Would you be comfortable with Evans as our 3rd big for 10-15 games?

Getting injured is something every team has to worry about. You just have to hope it doesnt happen

I guess keeping Jefferson could provide some injury insurance, but then we miss out on development playing time and cashing out an asset before it expires.

If the injury bug bites and ruins the year, then tuff lucks. Go get a d leaguer.

Id rather cash the asset out.

We could always make the trade and then get a cheap 5th big just in case.
