What are some options for filling the last roster spot?

[Coach Ellis]

Assuming that Derrick Rose gets bought out or released. . .

Who would the Jazz target to fill that last roster spot?

A.) Pick up a guy off a buyout or who is currently a free agent.

B.) Promote a G-League or 2way player?

What options are out there?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Expected buyouts. . .
• SG: Shabazz Muhammad - Minnesota
• C: Georgios Papagiannis - Sacramento
• PF: Joel Bolomboy -
• SG: Marco Belinelli - Atlanta
• whoever the GSW cut
• PF: Boris Diaw - International

G-League players. . .
• George Niang - Utah
• Torrey Craig - Denver 2way

Niko would be an offseason thing - IF they want to keep Cousins and dump Niko’s salary. That’s when having Thabo and Jerebko non guaranteed and available to trade on draft day is a great thing.

i would like to see more Niang.

Sign Lebron after the Cavs buy him out.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

10 day contracts

Malone. I think he only needs like 12 PPG the rest of this year and next for the scoring record. Willing to bet he could hit the three and be our S4OTF.

DIAW

DIAW

All for it as long as he doesn’t play.

 

[Coach Ellis]

DIAW

Any other international players with an NBA buyout? I think Udoh and O’Neale have proven that DL and the Jazz scout the **** out of Europe. I’d love to see them add another guy like that to the back end of the roster.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Find the next O’Neale/Carroll/Ingles etc.

This situation is one of Lindsey’s strengths.

I'll bet it is somebody that nobody here has mentioned. That is how DL rolls. . .

 

[Eminence]

I'd probably just roll with Niang, see if he's got anything at the NBA level, has looked good in the G-league

Rubio/Exum/Neto
DM/Royce/Burks
Ingles/Crowder/Thabo
Favors/Jerebko/Niang
Gobert/Udoh/Bradley

Tomic.

Drop the bomb.

Pretty sure it's Exum. I hope they find another d league gem.

Actually just went and looked at Niang's G-league stats again, he's looking really really good with the Stars, I'd like him in that 15th roster spot. Would be almost exactly what we need if he worked out (playmaking, great shooting from the 4 spot). Extremely low risk.

 

[Grimmetal]

Diaw is going to a contender as much as we all love him.
Exum is going to be back within the next couple of weeks after the ASG.

It doesn't make a difference.

It doesn't make a difference.

wut? DL hasn't proven himself able to find good value for the end of the bench?
