Jazz pick up Dok's option

[Jingled]

 

[LogGrad98]

Called it.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Well there you have it. I guess he still has some believers in the front office.

 

[LogGrad98]

Sunk cost...paying a little for nothing is better than paying marginally more for something.

 

[infection]

Well I guess I was 70% right.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Should I start a poll on if we will have to attach a second to trade him next year?

He isn't making enough to be sunk.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

There is the chance this makes him more tradeable this year. I’m fine with this. 4th year option is where his salary jumps a bit.

 

[NAOS]

Very Jazzy decision. Not surprised

 

[campaignist]

Good. I don't see much of a down side. There aren't many young assets on the roster either.

 

[Avery]

He’s a cheap third option. Not surprised.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

With Udoka, I do think opposing players are afraid to drive on him in the paint. The reason may be that they don't want to be clobbered, but Dok is a deterrent regardless.

Tony Bradley has been traded a few times now, and I don't think he needed a pick attached in the other deals. Just sayin.

 

[SteakNEggs]

I've been pretty high on him since we drafted him but he's been pretty disappointing this early season. Though this pretty much reassures that he's a project and the front office still has confidence in him so that's good to hear.

 

[jom2003]

That's all there's needed to be said.

Only bright spot is that DL is already fired and we run out of second rounders to give. So Ryan will probably just suck it up and pay the tax next summer.

The sky is always falling on this dude.

The dream at this point is he becomes a third option. He’s 5th on the depth chart at C.

 

[Scat]

Tony Bradley 2.0. He's good for a 2nd round pick in 2 years.

This was a no brainer IMO. The notion that finding a back up C is easy is not true in given what the Jazz need from this role. Having a solid back up C for 14-15 minutes a night is probably more valuable then any other bench role given our defensive scheme. DOK may not make it but he has the physical attributes that make it a possibility. Worth the money to see if it can work. I dont think hanging on to HW is a given.
