What does Dante get in Free Agency?

Dante won’t get anything long-term. I think we bring him back at a better rate than most think.
 
Roberson is one of the best defenders in the NBA.

Robserson "type". Great defender, very limited offensively. You really dont think Quinn and his "amazing development of youth" can develop him into that?

I dont want to argue (about this) just trying to find common ground or a base line if you will, something we can all work up from.

Unless Exum regressed, he's a better offensive player. I don't know about worst case, but a reasonable case would be Livingston?
 
Any contract less than 4 years is betting for the bust. But if he doesn't bust, then he re-signs elsewhere for big money. This strategy is a loser.

I am so glad DL is our GM.

Ok so some common ground.

At worst he is 70% of Roberson defensively but slightly better offensively (far better FT shooter and driver). I see Livingston but he is probably too crafty offensively.

Livingston $8M/yr at age 32
Roberson $10M/yr

If we beleive the above then $8-10M/yr is probably a fair number.
 
It's 7 if he was a starter for the season. The QO for players who didn't meet the starter criteria is equivalent to QO of the no. 15 pick of the draft. For comparable situation look at what Nerlens Noel got(about 4.1M).

Thank you, you're right. I shouldn't question the resident cap guy. Well I think that all but assures that Exum won't be taking the QO.
 
I'd like 4 years (team option would be great) but no more than $32.
I don't feel that I have enough real info to make a good guess. It could be anywhere from QO to 4/48 for me depending on what they really think about him. They have the best info on him of anyone, but even then the injuries and lack of a big role probably make it harder to project. As a fan I really hope it is more like 4/48 (or at least 4/something) because that means they believe in him. DL offering that much would give me a ton of confidence in Exum developing correctly.

That seems like a massive overpay though since presumably nobody with that type of cap space will offer a contract like that. They didn't get an extension deal done, so now the market dictates Exum's price which I believe will work in the Jazz favor.

4/48 would seem like alot in the current market. The second contract is often paid more on projection so I think fans should be ready for a bit of an "overpay" if the Jazz want to retain control for the 4th year. Like I said I think it all depends on what they really think of him and what he's willing to settle for. I can see a 3 year deal but I really hope the Jazz push for that 4th year if he is actually in the long term plans. We don't want another situation where we lose a really productive year because of penny pinching.
