The Rotation

[infection]

I'm not sure Mudiay's salary is considered valid matching salary given that he is on a minimum contract:


However, I *THINK* outgoing salaries are, thus making your idea work:

Anyone with better knowledge wanna chime in here?

I’m just going by the ESPN trade checker which is usually way ahead of the game on placing appropriate restrictions on deals.

That Kings 3-for-1 won’t work. They have 15 players under contract.

So they can waive them. It’s Vlade. And PGAB is in his ear.

Obviously the other consideration. I don't think Davis is appealing in this scenario, but the Kings would save ~$2.5 million over the next two years and get a couple 2nds? And maybe Davis plays better for them.

Bjelica isn’t guaranteed next year.

Woof. Yeah, Davis ain't it, then.

Woof. Yeah, Davis ain't it, then.

But maybe Vlade doesn’t know that.

But maybe Vlade doesn’t know that.

I believe the saying is "Scotty doesn't know."

And as we all know, Scotty's gotta go.

Why will be gone once Conley comes back? Won’t Mudiay still play and Jingles and Mitchell’s mins go down from playing 35+ to a much more normal number?

That's my hope. Play guys less minutes. Mudiay matters.

That's my hope. Play guys less minutes. Mudiay matters.

He's just a poor fit, though. He's improving, but his value hinged on the bench being bereft of scoring ability.

I think he should play minimally when Conley returns and the Jazz should honor Mudiay's wishes if he would prefer to get opportunity elsewhere or stay with the team and work with the development staff.

Tucker needs to be part of the rotation. 10-12 minutes to start and see how he does is preferred.
