From the way it sounds he's become a human money laundering service. You have to trade something to get cash, so teams trade his rights to make cash transactions legal.

Exactly, What does Nikola see in WestBrick will remain a mystery.

I looked him up on the interwebs and he was a top 15 college recruit to Florida State but was meh there and has basically been trash the couple of seasons he played in Euro leagues..
Believe teams just do this for lulz
HUGE game hunting?

but the clips sent over westbrook, he counts as a thing, why send another thing if you don't have to? (i guess the jazz can use the thing for trading for another thing)((i can see why players have anxiety, imagine being looked at asset instead of a person. harsh.))

I don't quite get it either, but believe you are right, this allows them to trade his rights for cash in additional deals. I'm not even 100% sure this guys is still playing competitive basketball. I can't find any stats for 2023-2024, the last thing I can find is from 2022-2023, I really don't think this is a guy that has any chance of coming over ever, he's just a thing that can get traded.
Not sure how this applies. Westbrook and Dunn were two real pieces already. Why was this guy needed?
EDIT: never mind. Late to the draw again
He’s Jokic’s backup. That’s what he sees in him.
This has to be Russ's last year in the league unless this goes well
Nah. He’s still a really good floor raiser and still is more athletic than most players. He has to find the right fit, and basically being Jokic’s backup is perfect.
See his stats here. 45 games played, 12.7 mpg ...

Cool, he's not dead.
I'm a little surprised there's not a bit more recognition of this guy here from his Florida State days. He was on the Forrest, Vassell, Patrick Williams team, along with the Scottie Barnes team.
I remember being a bit surprised that FSU had a big Euro on their team at that point, but now I see that he was a high recruit from the Florida area, so I guess it makes more sense.
