    I appreciate that the team didn't waste a contract on him.

    I wish him well. Murray clearly took his spot in the rotation but Jabari will find his way. He’s a tweener and those guys move around a lot over a career

    They’re probably letting Banton walk as well

    Bari and Trendon together again. It's nice that both of those guys are finding new homes in the league they both seem like nice people. Or I guess who knows... I'd ask @THE HCP but he'd probably tell me to wait for his book.

    Trendon got a regular contract, Bari got a two way deal. Trendon is only 24..

    You missed the point of this thread.

    considering he came in as the 57th pick in the draft, he has worked hard to stay in the league even this long. By all accounts, he was a good teammate and I wish him well.

    No, I got the point of the thread. I appreciate that the team didn't waste a roster spot or a contract on him.

    Easy to root for. Hope he’s in the league long after I’m gone

    That’s not the point of the thread. It is to appreciate Jabari not the team. I’m personally bummed for him. Only a 2way?

    I wanted him back. His 3 was improving and he is a dog on the boards.

    I liked that he played the right way. His overall level is not enough for the NBA but he plays hard and seems to work hard and being a good teammate.

    In a world full of hate, why add to it?
    Thats the soft point of the thread. The hard point is you can take the negativity to one of the many other threads. Appreciation threads are positive for a reason…
    If you dont like him, why comment? Come on now…

    every off season Bari works out with Paul George...I'll bet PG got him a spot on the team.

    once upon a time (22-23) jabari had the guaranteed while trendon had the two-way for us, now it's the opposite for philly
