    Yea last I heard we had one spot open I didn’t know we had signed Bobby Brown again.
    Most places state that we that we will just waive Bobby to make room for Joe and Brandan. So I think we still had a spot left.
    But if we don’t we would probably waive Black too

    ya that spot was taken by wright, and now we need to open another one for JJ. 14 players (+ RJ/Markel) on the roster right now before signing either wright or JJ

    Yes if I'm not mistaken. Rockets had one open spot before Bobby Brown, I think they will have to cut black or Williams likely to sign both JJ and wright

    Solid depth signing. Don't expect him to play heavy minutes or maybe even be in the rotation when everyone's healthy, but I expect his veteran leadership and locker room presence will be valuable. Plus, not bad injury insurance to have and it'll be nice to have him versus situational matchups in the playoffs. He had some huge games and moments as recently as last year for Utah.

    His 3PT% -- .274 -- has been way off this season, but he's over .400 the past two seasons and his FT% is on point this year.

    He likely shoots .400+ with our baller ass team.

    He apparently had a hand injury coming into the season and shot very poorly from 3 early on.

    Since he took time off for it his shooting has returned to normal

    Some folks don't realize how big and strong JJ is. In today's NBA, he's a 2/3/4.
