Had to be so cool for him to get to go against his idol, Durant, 1v1.

Jaden Springer picked up today by the Utah Jazz on a 10-day contract.

I was hoping a better team would pick him up for the playoffs. There’s a few who could really use him off the bench

Not sure why Springer isn't getting more minutes with the Jazz. He has been efficient when he's in there. 11 min today: 5 pts, 3 steals, 2 assists

DK has played very poorly since that trade was rescinded. He is going to find himself with no minutes if he doesn’t snap out of it.

I would argue for the inverse. I think he’s playing poorly because he’s getting basically no minutes.

11, 10, 9, 13, 13, and 11. Those are his minutes the last 6 games. Hard to do much when you’re rarely given the chance to play and they basically just till you to camp in the corner for an occasional open 3.

When he was first drafted with the Lakers, I thought it was a perfect spot because he’d be given time to develop on a winning roster with a coach that understands how to get the most out of a shooter with DK’s profile.

It’s definitely not been that and it seems like the Luka trade has just made the situation worse. Lakers really do need to trade him this off-season while he still has any value at all. Him rotting on the bench isn’t helping him grow. He’d be better off in the G-League right now.

He just doesn’t fit the roster and timeline anymore.

He is lucky the Hornets trade failed because that place is basketball purgatory.

Hope he ends up with a rebuilding franchise with component leadership. Like the Jazz.
