But of course we let him go as a favor to Jimmer. After we made it clear that we were going to prioritize Ray's minutes over Jimmer's for the remainder of the season, Jimmer was our third-string PG. Basically every team has a third-string PG and the reason is what we've seen here in the past week or two - if you only have two PGs and one of them gets injured, you're scrambling. I have no doubt at all we would have been perfectly happy to hold on to Jimmer and keep him as our third-string PG (one who knew the system Malone was running) for the remainder. But Jimmer didn't want that and he requested an opportunity to find more minutes. We had to forgo having a third-string PG in order to help Jimmer try to find minutes elsewhere. That's a favor, through and through.

I agree with this. What Jimmer's team did with whatever opportunities that were available is irrelevant.

Just saying, the idea that we let Jimmer go as some kind of favor to Jimmer rings false. There was a lot of talk around here about that.

We wanted to give ray minutes. Not EVERY minute. Jimmer would be playing more here than Chicago.

No he wouldn't, not if IT wasn't injured. Now that IT is injured sure, but you can't reasonably say that the injury was a foreseeable one.

If we'd really wanted to do him a favor, we would have done this before the season. And not waited all season to play ray. Ray and the kings and jimmer would be better off.

Ray and the Kings, maybe.
