Have to say I liked him in the draft but not sad he is gone. In the current NBA you have to be able to shoot.

Wong incoming?

Maybe, but this feels like an inevitable move that finally reached the point of inevitability.
KJ Martin is probably in the same boat - although they might keep him until the trade deadline if they think his salary could be valuable.
Predictable. He was very tragic on offense.

According to Homey math the Jazz now have 15 players under contract. John Tonje has not signed a contract yet.
With players like Springer if you have to ask yourself "should my team extend or guarantee his contract?" - the answer is always "no". Teams churn through these players looking for diamonds in the rough who could use the opportunity to rapidly improve and become clear rotation players. If they are still the 12th-15th player on the team then it's time to move on and look at someone else.
/ Having said that, I am still surprised that the Jazz resigned Svi.

Svi and Juzang had a tortilla challenge. Svi won. Springer just took lashing after lashing from Harkless. No contest.

I’d rather keep Harkless. Ainge’s ought to be churning the bottom of the roster all year long. Try to find a gem like Niang or O’Neal.
Wonder what the deal is with Procida. I figured he’d for sure come over this year on a deal slightly better than what he can get in Europe. Sounds like he’s trying to sign up with Real Madrid now. Maybe the Jazz are just waiting to see how he develops at a higher level of competition.

He and Matty Ice were teammates in Germany and statistically they were about the same.

Matt Thomas who was a Jazzman about half a season when the Minivan was here.

Didn't the Jazz waste a couple of 2nd rounders picking him up too? That was stupid if I'm remembering correctly.

I think that's right. DL brought him in because he was a college buddy of the Minivan. He was let go for nothing.
