He was a valuable contributor off the bench, and Utah traded him to Phoenix. He also had a very low contract. The Suns just waived him, should Utah sign him for next year?
It depends how he recovers from his injury. He's one of the oldest rookies to ever play in the NBA, so he's not a young guy who's recovery speed will be very fast. You don't want to chance it.
Yeah, while Hand was a HUGE fan favorite in Utah, there needs to be some serious question whether he will recover from his injury. Plus, I think the Jazz are looking to rebuild and I don;t think we should start that process by signing someone like Hand.
Handlogten should be brought back. Not for his play, but for the influence on the fans. If he recovers, I don't see any reason why he can't get signed onto a Eastern team.
I could see the Jazz signing him this summer for the RMR team, and possibably getting invited to training camp. But first we got to see how he recovers from the surgery
