And his roster spot may be taken by Diante Garrett of all people. Strange, small world out there.

Tinsley seemed to be trying to see how little he could actually try and still stay in the league, apparently now we know.

As a Jazz fan, I would love to see Diante suit up for them.

A former Iowa State player will never stick for significant time with a Jazz team.

They should sign Royce to play point forward, maybe the mountain air will clear his head.

Glad I got to meet him at the Suns game a couple of weeks ago at the ISUAA meet up! He came over and shook all of our hands and said thanks for the support. I got an awesome pic with him...minus the nasty Movember stache I have.

I don't know, but I have been impressed the past couple of years that Tinsley has managed to somewhat revive his NBA career. He's pretty old now....I'm guessing 35 or 36.

Utah's replacement options for Tinsley - NBA Rumors Blog - ESPN

It states the Jazz are looking to replace Tinsley with a younger PG. Stated that the first person they are looking at is Diante Garrett. So they might be replacing a Cyclone with a Cyclone.
