Exum extension

Yeah. You got it.

FO should only extend people based on their current production. If the FO extend Exum for 10-12 mill/year, do you think they would be expecting 6 points and 2 rebounds?

You're a genius.

I don't disagree but I think the poster's offers were a little high. Start at 4/40.
 
lol you don't extend mystical potential, you extend proven players. Jazz made mistake by extending Burks. Hopefully they learned from it. Let Exum prove he is worth the money. If he still sucks until trade deadline look to trade him and get something in return.
 
Don't be afraid to pay Exum. Be afraid to get another Burks.

If he blows up this year and gets a max extension, then GREAT!!!!

If he sucks, then re-sign him to a smaller deal and hope he blows up next year.

Why? Why waste money on failure hoping for it to improve? If he sucks in 4th year of his NBA career what makes you hopeful he will suddenly turn the corner?

Maybe because he is 21. Maybe because he's played one year so far.

Hayward was a rookie when he was 21.

So was Westbrook and a slew of others.

You freaking wasted 3+ years to get Exum. If you are Lindsey, you are praying he works out.

Or you cut your losses and move on. Not the first failed draft pick, not the last one.

Common theme with Lindsey.

BTW, how many GM's survive one botched top 5 pick? Yet, all Lindsey has is failed lottery picks.
 
Exum will be 22 in less than a month. It honestly doesn't matter what his age is it's the fact he's now been in the NBA for 4 years (soon) and has averages of 5 points and 2 assists in 20 minutes? You think the Deng/Moz/Turner contracts are bad? You're talking about giving someone 10+ mill a year for someone that IS STATISTICALLY WORSE currently.

I guess we better lock up Trey Burke again. Since he's doing better @ 5 points per game and 2 assists IN 10 MINUTES OF PLAY compared to 20 MINUTES OF PLAY for exum. You go off potential value right? Well Burke has potential to give you double the production in double the amount of playing time. You think anyone is stupid enough to give him 10+ mill a year?
 
I've said this repeatedly, but I'll do it again. NBA point guards typically experience the most explosive growth between the second and third year of their NBA career. It's likely that Jazz fans expect a quicker timeline because our last marquee point guard draftee, Deron Williams, had his major jump between year one and year two. It's important to note, however, that Deron's earlier jump is highly irregular when compared with the majority of NBA point guards. It is by far the most difficult position in the NBA to learn, due to the leadership requirements on offense and the mental precision that is needed.

Because Exum missed a year with the ACL, we can hope for this growth to occur going into next year, though it might be slightly delayed given the lack of continuity between his first year and his second (technically his third, since we aren't counting the ACL year.)

TLDR: next year we'll have a much better idea of who Exum is going to be as a player. My gut tells me he's about to make a gigantic leap.
