Would you rather have us in the playoffs or getting better draft picks?

I think both Dante and Donovan are “combo” guards who can play either spot and with multiple backcourt combinations.

Rubio, Hood or Burks would (ideally) be able to work with either guy in the lineup with them. As such, I think Snyder has the freedom to find the best pairing and then use whoever is left from the bench.

Sucks that Exum is hurt, otherwise so think we’d be seeing this in play right now.

It's pretty clear we're best when DM actually has the ball in hand, breaking down the defense, so if he's doing it 75% of the time, that means Dante at minimum is standing in a corner with no one guarding him 75% of the time. Not something you would pay a premium for.

I’m not sure that Dante is going to get a premium contract. With more time injured instead of on the court, I think he’s going to end up with a “prove it” contract this offseason. Either fromthe Jazz, or an offer sheet that they decide to match. I highly doubt he signs for the QO, and I don’t see Utah letting him walk before they have a whole year of him and Donovan together.
