Eric Walden: Emmanuel Mudiay said that every Jazz player got a chance to voice their concerns about Orlando. “Everybody’s comfort level was pretty different.” Noted that it was natural that players like Mike Conley, Joe Ingles would have different perspectives than a single guy like him.
Eric Walden: Jazz guard Emmanuel Mudiay recalled some of the craziness the night of March 11/morning of March 12 in OKC. Mentioned how “uneducated” players were then vs. now. Recalled being shocked when Donovan Mitchell tested positive. Said he figured NBA would shut down for 2-3 weeks.
What is Utah’s view of Mudiay? Did they view him as a possible point guard to re-sign? It seems like he progressed a lot during the season, making the correct reads, but is it enough progress that the Jazz want to hold on to him? – Jarrett T. Mudiay probably resurrected his career this season. He was terrific off the bench. He defended. He made plays off the dribble. He made good reads. Simply put, he has met and exceeded almost all expectations of him. And that’s why there is a good chance he won’t be on the roster next season.
The Jazz don’t hold Mudiay’s Bird rights, which means they can only offer him a prorated raise off the contract he earned this season. In other words, it won’t take much to outbid the Jazz for Mudiay’s services. If a team swoops in with a $5 million a year offer, that might be enough. And that’s not much.
Mitchell wasn’t the only teammate of Gobert’s frustrated in the immediate wake of his diagnosis, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported. But Gobert’s Instagram post has messages of support from many of his teammates, including Mike Conley, Emmanuel Mudiay and Royce O’Neale. Georges Niang is among others who wrote a tweet expressing well wishes to Mitchell and Gobert.
