And my 3 year old is going to be devastated!!! He was a HUGE fan after that RMR come back. His favorite players all wear number 8 and are undersized. Joao Plata - Bryce Cotton.
Jazz waive bye bye to Cotton and Graham

I feel bad for RED. He brought a lot to this board. Both Johnson and Millsap have non-guaranteed Ks so if the waiver wire flotsam bears something of interest one or both could still be cut.
The Wizards have a bunch of PGs on their pre-season roster, including Ramon Sessions, Ish Smith, Gary Neal and this Garret Temple guy the Jazz were rumored to like. At least 1 or 2 of those guys should get waived soon, and they might all be better than Bryce Cotton. Even if the Jazz want a third PG, they could easily justify waiving Cotton in favor of other guys at the bottom of other teams' rosters.
The Bucks currently have 5 PGs on their roster, including MCW, Greivis Vasquez, Tyler Ennis, Jarryd Bayless, and some guy named Gutierrez.
Denver has Nick Johnson and Erick Green competing for their final roster spot according to ESPN. Both those guys can play a bit.

There should also be a bunch of wings waived or available in a cheap trade.

Looking at all those players the only ones I could see being waived are Ish Smith, Guitierrez, and Erick Green.
Erick Green would be the only one even worth a look in my opinion.. it would be kind of funny to pick him up to considering we basically traded him and cash for Rudy..
Based on the last game they played Green will be the man they keep. But if they do waive him Jazz should give it a deep thought. Last game had 16pts 4ast and 3/3 from 3. Johnson was bad. Also looking at the roster they seem to have more SGs than they need. Hey they also have that Jokic guy that the Jazz should have had.
Yes I did ! Thank you for letting him go and I feel bad that one day you will sincerely regret it, but alas on to brighter and greener pastures. Best of luck this season Jazz, still think you guys are a solid 4-5 years out from even remotely contending (which I am sure the homers on here will disagree and understandably so) but best of luck with Neto who cant hit water from a boat.

I wonder if our two guys in exile might be back sometime this year:
Zalgiris Kaunas rallied late to beat Stelmet Zielona Gora 62-66 in an exciting clash on Friday in Group C. The Polish champs seemed on course for an impressive victory when they took a double-digit lead late in the third quarter, but Paulius Jankunas, Olivier Hanlan and Brock Motum played big roles in leading a fourth-quarter comeback. Over the final six minutes of the game, Zalgiris outscored Zielona Gora 2-12 to storm to victory. Motum’s put-back slam with 1:10 was the go-ahead bucket and Renaldas Seibutis iced the win from the line. Jaunkunas finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, while debutants Motum and Hanlan registered 16 and 14 points, respectively. Seibutis added 11 for the winners. Vlad Moldoveanu paced Zielona Gora with 16 points on 3-of-4 three-point shooting and Lukasz Koszarek added 14 in defeat.

You're right, I didn't realize how bad Nick Johnson has played this preseason. Still owed 1.8 million in guaranteed over the next 2 years though..
Doubt it. Euro season is as about as long as NBA. Also most Euro contracts do not have an out during the season. However, it could be possible to do a buyout during the season. I believe King Joffrey Louvergne got a buyout from his Serbian team during the season. This could particulary happen if the team is desperate for money.

Karl Malone have a feeling GoFriars here had his feelings hurt because Mr. Cotton got cut out of this here lineup. Karl Malone don't want you to feel bad GoFriars. Karl Malone wants to be sensitive to your sensitive bits, but Karl Malone need to straighten you out band wagoner. Karl Malone knows these Jazz are not 4-5 years out of serious contention. Karl Malone has flashbacks to the mid to late 90s when Karl Malone watches this team. Karl Malone knows Karl Malone has these feelings because these Jazz basketballers will be in serious contention within 1-2 deer hunting seasons. Karl Malone played 19 seasons in the National Basketballer Association and knows more than a band wagoner like GoFriars. Karl Malone would therefore ask you to please leave this train because Karl Malone know 2 things. Karl Malone know first how to score the second most points in NBA historicals and two Karl Malone knows how to basketball. Now go away, but not to Lousiana, your sensitivities would not survive in Karl Malones backyard bayou.

Just think Muggsy -- 5-3 and a terror on defense, and strong as a bull.

So you think Cotton is better than Neto -- I liked Cotton, but Neto is far better, as a defender and a distributor. Cotton simply is not a good distributor and you saw how well he plays defense in the last game -- that's what probably got him cut.
I really wanted Jokic. He would fit so well.

Update: I told my 3 year old and he immediately burst into HUGE crocodile tears. He sat on my lap and cried it out for a good 10 minutes. I easily had the biggest Bryce Cotton fan under the age of 10 in the world on my lap and he was having the hardest time understanding why. At the end of the day, I hope Dennis Lindsey gets some players that will win back my Jr. Jazzer's confidence in management. If it was his choice, DL might be out of a job. I'll have to teach him some of the finer points of our team's direction, but how's about that passion! Attaboy son! Attaboy!
You might say he's graduated from A Cup to B Cup status today.
He was awful in pre-season and he was awful in Summer League.
What is a fair shake? Is getting regular season games, SL, and pre-season not a fair shake? The guy made some decent money and got playing time.

I think he got a fair shake. If X hadn't gotten hurt he still might be here.
