Yabu likely done for summer league with injury. Starting to feel like his time in Boston is just about up.
He’s going to have to win his job in training camp.
He has a $3.1M guaranteed contract. That was a mistake.
They gave him a contract because they want the salary to use in a trade. They are not under any illusions that he’s a useful player.
You'd be hard pressed trying to explain that to stubborn guys who doesn't even know how the CBA works and question every single move the management makes without analyzing why they did that.
Yep, it's a roster flexibility move by Danny. Which is why I suspect that Yabu makes it on the roster, for the fact that his $3.1m contract is more useful than his, or Tacko's, 5 min of garbage time minutes.
I think Tacko is much better off in the G League where he can actually develop than just sit on the end of the bench night in night out.
