    For many of the same reasons Memphis would have been a good destination for him, the Bulls would be as well. I hope that happens.

        Did Reilly really just ask for his 5k back?

            Jimmer has a few people outside of Utah, upstate NY and the LDS, rooting for him anyway.



            Q: Is it just me, or could Jimmer do to New York what Jeremy Lin did? The Kings announced they are working on a buyout today, and this coincides perfectly with Raymond Felton’s arrest. Couldn’t you see the point guard hungry Knicks pick him up and Jimmer immediately put up 23 a night with 5 threes? We’ve been waiting for Jimmer’s chance in the NBA and this is it. He could light up MSG for 2 months, become a free agent, and then Dolan could let him walk because he doesn’t want to overpay the best thing that happened to happen to New York basketball in years. This almost makes too much sense.

            SG: Welcome to the Jimmer Bandwagon, Adam from Foxborough! Can I get you a doughnut or a soda? It’s just us two right now. I couldn’t agree more — Jimmer in MSG almost feels scripted. Look, I’ve been on the record for three years: At some point, Jimmer is going to find the right team, he’s going to be unleashed, and the rest will be history. It’s going to happen. Either he’ll become a quality Heat Check Guy off the bench for a contender, or he’ll be drop 23 a night for a lousy team à la Dana Barros on the ’94 Sixers. But he’s going to have a moment. We WILL have Jimmer Time. You wait.

              Being waived before March means he can still be on a playoff roster, right?

                  How come a team like Cleveland, who appears to want him but Jimmer doesn't want to go there, doesn't just claim him off waivers? Is there a financial reason that it's better to let him clear waivers and get him as a FA? I'm guessing pulling him off waivers somehow ties to his old contract and could put a team over the cap?

                    That's my understanding. If he is claimed off waivers, his old salary must be paid (pro rata share of $2.4MM, I think). If he clears, teams can have him for the league minimum (pro rata share of around $900K? I'm not sure on the amount). Cleveland must not want him enough to pay the higher salary.

                      Phoenix would seem like a team that should consider picking him up off waivers. They need a little help there with Bledsoe out.

                        Not that I'm a Bulls fan or anything, but they'll be more fun to watch than the Kings.

                          So Jimmer is available for the game today and will he get in? Probably the happiest ones other than Jimmer are CJ and Surfah who can stop watching Kings games.

                                A really good human being posted Jimmer's time on YouTube. He looks nervous checking in. I hope he has a good season. It seems like the fans in Chicago and his teammates want Jimmer to make an impact.



                                ESPN does not expect Jimmer to crack the rotation for a couple of months.
