He gone

Jaxson Hayes signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Jazz, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon

Yup the market for lower end backup centers is taxpayer MLE. Unreal.

Hayes was just picked up by the Jazz.

Funny how the centers are being picked up like it’s the end of the world.

Didn’t we have a draft pick center overseas that joined a school in the US? Do we still have his rights or going to school negated that?

I mean, we are kinda in a desperate spot.

We will probably sign someone like Drummond on a vet minimum, find some 2-3 year player from the G league and then trade for a center if needed at the deadline once a few teams are looking to move players. We will not be as strong as last year but we will get by. I trust Leon had a contingency plan.

James Nnaji, at Baylor. Meh.
Also have rights to Louis Labeyrie. Not sure his deal but he's 34 yo.
