Jazz waive bye bye to Cotton and Graham

What are the guaranteed status of Marshall, Wroten, Jackson, and Canaan? I want to say all 4 are guaranteed. So it seems like McConnell would be a sure cut.

Though I doubt the jazz interest in McConnell since his game closely mirrors Neto's and it's arguable he is a worse shooter and athlete.

Surprised if Jackson is guaranteed. Wroten and Marshall are injured so still a chance TJ could make it. Also even guaranteed guys of course can be cut. Philly is way below cap line still. Of course they are paying big bucks to McGee and Wallace for waiving them.

Jackson is guaranteed through the first 2 years, they just signed him this year.

Guaranteed one-year contracts don't really factor in whether you cut or not for Philly because they still have to pay up to the cap floor anyways. So if there really is no "saving money" incentive they will keep whoever they think fits, which I really have no idea between Jackson and McConnell. Wroten, Marshall, and Canaan should be locks.
 
Best player candidate for MIP of the Jazz is out? **** happens. Things just got less exciting.



Remember:


Rudy Gobert was sent to D-League.


He turned back from fighting his inner Balrog.

As the White Mithrandir.

Yeah, but the fact they were ever signed to those contracts shows the team has an added level of faith in them over a deal that has no guaranteed years. Also they aren't 1 year guarantees, I believe they have 2 years of guarantee on them (maybe not Canaan, but if they want to cut him that would be great, he was the best pull-up 3pt shooter other than Curry).

They also have no incentive to win either, so keeping McConnell just because he is healthy for the first few weeks doesn't mean much either.

This is correct. When you are merely looking at guaranteed vs. non-guaranteed it seems like either TJ, Sampson, or Thompson would be cut. Since it doesn't hurt them cap wise or actual dollars they can just cut Jackson or even Carl Landry as I doubt he'll play much for them.

They do have a lot of interesting guys though that will need to be cut. We might help them alleviate the logjam by offering a second for Thompson, Tokoto, or Wood. I think Chris Johnson would contribute more than those guys this year, but those guys may have higher upside.

I don't think Johnson is a throw away though. He looked really good in summer league. I actually might prefer him to Millsap (his constant fouling in stupid situations and terrible ball handling drive me crazy... also is very indecisive with the ball).
 
Nets waived Ryan Boatwright, Quincy Miller, and Chris Daniels.

Boatwright was a good college guard, don't think he fits in the NBA though.

Only guaranteed for one year. I also believe Jackson was signed last year or the year before that and then suffered a terrible knee injury. I may have the events backwards. I'd be watching that roster... interesting guys.
 
King Cy said:
No, they signed him last year then waived him. They signed him to a new deal this year. https://nba.nbcsports.com/2015/07/14/report-76ers-signing-pierre-jackson-to-four-year-contract/

2 years guaranteed.

Ah... makes sense then. This site has one-year guaranteed, but the fact that they gave him that deal this year means they likely stick with him.

I'm not a big TJ fan, but he has been okay on that joke of a roster in the pre-season. If they really like him I might try and trade for Thompson or Wood and offer a second round pick. They effing love second round picks.

Didn't add the link sorry https://www.basketballinsiders.com/philadelphia-76ers-team-salary/
 
I'm a little surprised they cut him. Go Friars should be excited he got his wish. It may all come crumbling down when the guy never plays in the NBA again though. Is any team in the league hurting as much as the Jazz at PG this year? If he can't make this roster does he have a prayer anywhere else?

There is always another team, especially with teams adopting the philosophy of the ever revolving door for the final roster spots where teams just cut non-guaranteed contracts on December 15th then go through 10 day contracts.

I disagree, his athleticism wasn't more of an issue than his decision making:

Granted. I should have been more specific. I meant on the defensive end. Even short dudes of days past have had to at least be semi-competitive on that side to make it in the league.
 
Bummer. I was cheering for Cotton. I am sure that this was a tough decision given the injury to Exum. But length trumps and I think Withey deserves a spot. I like the competition that we have made for a few spots.
