I'm just wondering how the GLeague guy factors into this. Is Quin going to expand his rotation to 11-12 guys to keep guys fresh or is the guy destined for duty with the Stars.

It doesn't. None of the young guys will play.

Gobert/Davis
Bogdanovic/Niang
Oneale
Ingles/Clarkson
Mitchell/Mudiay

That's almost certainly the rotation until Conley gets back. Then it will be something like....

Gobert/Davis
Bogdanovic/Oneale
Ingles
Mitchell/Clarkson
Conley

With Mudiay or Niang as the 9th guy. Probably Niang knowing Quin.
 
So first the Exum Trade:

After letting is sit for a bit, I get the trade especially since it was clear he wasn't going to get any playing time and the bench needs scoring so on the surface it is good. However I personally would've like to see Exum get some consistent burn off the bench to prove that he couldn't help the bench this year with his defense and energy.

However will have to see how the pieces fit together now and see if it is too many ball stoppers coming off the bench or if they can play the way Quin's offense asks.

Jeff Green release:
Didn't like it at first and prolly am in the minority that I thought he should start but be the first sub basically playing about the same minutes as he was off the bench. Which leads to why I get why he was released, the bench needed energy and that's not Jeff Green. That job is generally the young guys fighting for a job or larger role (see GSW's GLeague guys now playing). But Jeff did have the physical traits of what this Jazz team is sorely lacking a combo of length and athleticism so that still stings a bit.

I think both moves signal QS's rising power in the organization or upper management's acknowledgement that some of the decisions they made were incorrect.

Either way it's a good thing.

Sith Lord Snyder? Somebody should photoshop that.

Don't forget Alec Burks!!!
 
Big fan of Clarkson since his Laker's days - Laker's consistently out-recruit the Jazz but that's a story for another day. Anyway you look at it, this trade was a coup for us. As far as Green, no I didn't see it coming and at the time I struggled with it. But now in retrospect, I realize that it was one of those hard decisions that had to be made and pronto to secure the rights to Tucker. And that's not to say that Tucker ever materializes into something more than a good GLeague player given Snyder's insistence on a tight 9 man rotation. Still, I think it gives us more options moving forward.

Still think the Jeff Green thing is weird.

**** him. Sounds like a douche and his nine team resumé supports that notion. So far as Donnie’s pro-Green words, it sounds like nothing more than Donnie’s PR-speak. Not that you brought that up but I assumed someone would.
