The Jazz have re-Signed Jarrell Brantley

[slc]

So can Brantley be used as a trade piece?

Honestly, I don’t know why fringe NBA guys like Brantley don’t go get more PT and make more money overseas. If you’re good enough for the NBA, you’ll find your way back. If not, at least you maximized your earnings for what is a relatively short career rather than languishing in the G-League.

I agree but some people might like america and being close to their families. There is more to life than money imo

For sure. People have different values. Basketball players just have such a short window in which to make their money that if I were in their position, I’d maximize that aspect.

Guys like Jimmer seem a little bitter about their careers. But he’s a legend in China, and became a multi-millionaire in the process. That should be seen as a high level of success.

for some guys the reasoning is that it’s far easier to get back in the NBA stateside. You never know when an injury happens, a g-league spot opens up, etc. Out of sight out of mind and all.

Depending on how the rest of the season goes, yea. Worst case scenario, he can be a throw in on a trade.

I would really hope that the Jazz find a spot for Forrest. I think he is a backup NBA player. Jazz need 3 PGs with Conley's injury history. I am fine with Brantley getting the contract he got. As someone said he can be throw in with a trade. I would cut or trade Hughes instead of letting Forrest walk.

Cool but Trent better be on this team

yeah that 84k guaranteed amount means it's not really a deal. He can be cut at anytime. Hope JZ doesn't stop looking at FA market because of Brantley.

THere's way less certainty in Europe and you are going to be moving a lot. You arent giving as good of opportunities to train as you are in America with NBA facilities.

If you have a family it's a lot easier just to stay in America if you can still get a decent check.

And if you think you have a shot at becoming a rotational player the odds are better by staying on an NBA roster.

That and I'm not sure if Brantley is really the prototype European player. I don't know how well his game would fit. It's not like NWG who really makes sense as a European player.
