Looks like the FO has declined options on Jimmer (obvious), Grevis and Patterson.
Thoughts? Some of my buddies were upset about the Grevis and Patterson news but makes sense to me. New coach, new FO, need to see what these guys can bring first. I do think we end up retaining Grevis after the season, Patterson I am not sure about since we committed money to Landry

Re: Declined Options
I agree that Patterson will be gone and Vasquez will stay. The FO needs to free up some money for free agency.

Re: Declined Options
Jimmer is almost certainly a goner. What a wasted pick, but everybody involved in making that decision is gone, so continuing to be upset about it is pointless.
I think the organization has every intention of bringing back Vazquez back, unless of course he has a disastrous season. His first game the other night was VERY impressive, and he showed quite a bit of passion on the floor as well.
PPat is probably about 50/50 at this point. His ability to spread the floor has been pretty valuable, but when Landry comes back, finding a lot of minutes for him will become difficult.

Re: Declined Options
I'm fine with them declining options for those guys.
Let them earn their worth and/or let the market dictate their value.
It's a nice change from the previous regime where they just give away contracts left and right.
I hope we manage keep all of them but most likely, Jimmer will be going out.
I thought Jimmer had a solid preseason and should have earned minutes last game but I don't know.
Thornton had a disaster preseason and a poor start of the season. Never liked his body attitude and his pout. If I was GM, McLemore gets the starting SG, Jimmer backs him and trade off Thornton w/ JT for something nice...a SF maybe?

Re: Declined Options
Why would the organization not deal Jimmer before declining the option?

I agree with this 100%.. Jimmer single-handedly brought them back into games last season when given the chance to see the floor.. I have no idea why they would throw a fat contract at MT like this since he's just way too inconsistent. Give away MT/JT/Salmons (yes, all three), keep jimmer, and get a solid SF. It would definitely be a much smoother offense and less one-on-one play.
