When it was announced that the Utah Jazz were releasing Jeff Green it seemed Green didn’t have anything left in the tank. Surely a playoff team wouldn’t waive a player who was able to contribute, right? The Jazz have been unable to make a deep playoff run of late, as they’ve seemingly been eliminated by the Houston Rockets every year. It would seem like Green is the type of player the Jazz would want to depend on to reverse that trend.
Even after Green was released, it seemed he didn’t have any value around the league as essentially every team passed on him.
