The Jazz have re-Signed Jarrell Brantley

I think this is the right choice. They’ll find ways to get him more efficient offense, but he’ll step forward as a good defensive piece before then. Basically, he can replace Oni.
 
BTW, I think Brantley is a 3, semantically speaking. So the roster should look like this ---

Gobert / Whiteside / Azubuike
O'Neale / Gay / Paschall
Bogdanovic / Ingles / Brantley
Mitchell / Clarkson / Hughes
Conley / Butler / Forrest

So with Paschall and Brantley coming on board, Oni might have to get cut. I'm hearing mixed messages on whether a player can sign a third 2-way contract. If either Forrest or Brantley is on a 2-way, that keeps open a spot for Oni.

I think you're right
Oni is odd man out
Unless Jazz make another move this is a much better roster with lots of options for Quin
 
I like Oni just fine. I just think you can go and get someone just like him almost whenever you want. The only thing is that Oni knows the offense.

I am far more comfortable with Forrest getting Conley injury minutes than Oni. Forrest now knows the offense, so I don't really see the need for Oni if it costs us Forrest or Hughes.

I'd go Conley/Forrest/Butler though. . .

Probably closer to Conley/(Ingles)/ Forrest/Butler

I don't think Oni has really improved as a shooter or creator in the past 2 years. I think he is what he is.
 
Jazz still have the two two-way players slots to fill also
Maybe Oni gets one of those

If the Jazz can convince Forrest to take a 2-way deal, they can keep a roster spot for Oni. Thing is, I think a team is going to make Forrest an offer if the Jazz don't.

Jazz also need to come to terms with Butler. I haven't heard if he's signed yet. I can't imagine the Jazz would put Butler on a 2-way just to keep a deep roster spot for Oni though.

Like I said, he's decent, but I think you could find someone just like him if you needed to. His institutional knowledge over Forrest has been bridged from watching Forrest run the squad in SL.
