Who Should the Jazz Cut?

The two candidates to be cut are Kidd or Howard as they are the only two partially guaranteed players.

The Jazz could cut someone like NWG, Oni, Bradley, Mudiay, or Niang though at a very low cost.
Howard: Seems like he can really shoot and he seems longer/quicker than Niang.

Kidd: Athletic and strong. Jazz might need some Royce insurance as well if he gets overpaid next year.

NWG: Unremarkable backup PG. Seems like a good shooter though. Do the Jazz really need a 4th PG though, especially when they have so many other players who play quasi-backup PG?

Oni: Don't see anyway he gets cut personally.

Bradley: Doubt he gets cut since the Jazz only have two other centers.

Mudiay: Doubt he gets cut with his potential and sizee

Niang: Doubt he gets cut because of his locker-room presence and shooting ability.

So overall I think there are two spots for Kidd, NWG, and Howard. And right now I'd probably cut NWG.
 
Kidd, if we’re talking about dudes that have minimal or no money guaranteed.

If we’re just talking basketball, Bradley and NWG are wastes of roster spots. Pretty sure Jeff Green is going to be above Bradley in the C rotation when it actually matters, and NWG just doesn’t look good. I will say that getting another PG makes more sense now that we know Exum is going to miss a chunk of time at the beginning of the year. I’d rather get a vet minimum player to potentially use as salary ballast in later trade. We could do worse than Jeremy Lin and I think we are. I get that NWG could theoretically develop, that is just completely secondary to players being able to play right now.

Appeal for an injury exception with Exum. His health record should qualify us.

I think in addition to two-ways, the league should allot each franchise two roster spots to be occupied by the GM’s pet players.

Realistically it will be Kidd or Howard. I wish we had a real backup PG, though.
 
Joakim Noah is a better player and presence than Bradley is if we’re dead-set on having three or four centers.
 
If it wasn't for DL's obsession with slow, unathletic players, Niang would not be in this league right now.

The Bradley hate is perplexing to me given how dominant he has been in his SL and pre-season games.

He strictly plays a dying position and he’s 4th string at it.

I don’t know enough about Kidd to be confident in cutting him but it seems like the simplest move here. Howard looks good.

He's clearly 3rd string center...

When it matters, he won’t be. Green or Davis will.

Against the Hornets, he might be 2nd string cuz the Jazz should be practicing load management.

Davis is the 2nd string center....

They arent going to play Green at center unless it's to matchup with another team.
