Can start to be offered on Monday. Perhaps could we see some folks cut or traded and some brought in to shore up the Jazz after the Burks surgery?

And after Christopher's injury. I thought there was something there with him.

SO what is the rule in the NBA. Can they release a player who is injured to create roster space? I know in the NFL you have to reach an injury settlement.

Not sure what the rules are. I know for example the Cav's got a salary cap exception for Varejao's injury just recently.

The Jazz have to do something at PG to push Burke since Exum isn't ready yet. If it takes some 10 day contract guys, then so be it. Gal Mekel would be a guy I'd look at, right along with Seth Curry. I don't know if they'd help at all, but I'd sure as heck take a look at both of them.
As much as I've been supporting the "take it slow" plan with Exum, it might just be time to take the training wheels off. Go with Exum, Hayward, Favors, Gobert and Hood (once he's healthy) in the starting lineup and then see what Trey and Enes do off the bench for awhile.

IINM, Jazz are still $4M under the cap. My concern was more about roster space. Once a player is deemed out for the rest of the year, does that open up a roster spot or does that player still count against the 15-player limit? Don't think there is an "injured reserve" in the NBA.
Don't need NBA teams keeping the likes of Tonya Harding gainfully employed/contracted.

Yes. Gal Mekel will be perfect.
I like both of these players. I wish the Jazz would trade Burke's and just start Exum. Bring in one of these guys and then see what happens. Jazz aren't going anywhere this year. I was one of the few people who where not a big fan of the Burke' draft pick so my tolerance was limited from the beginning but I've seen enough of him to see him as a backup PG in the NBA.

Just going to point out that Mekel couldn't beat Jimmer out of a spot in New Orleans.

Then why trade him and get a free agent scrub backup? Just start Exum and bring Trey off the bench. If you were going to do that, now would be great because Trey would HAVE to understand the move.
