SALT LAKE CITY — After an exciting season, stamped by an unexpected second-round playoff appearance, Jonas Jerebko was counting on returning this year as a Jazzman.
However, things took a twist when Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder called him directly after the re-signing of Derrick Favors to let him know he would be waived on July 7 before his contract became guaranteed.
Shortly after learning the news, Jerebko’s agent, Billy Duffy, informed him that another organization was interested: the Golden State Warriors.
With an opportunity to join the back-to-back champions, Jerebko viewed it as a no-brainer to ink a one-year, veteran minimum deal of $2.
