What does Dante get in Free Agency?

Again lowballing is based on projections. You aren't paying for him for being a 5 PPG player. You are paying believing that he will be worth more. This happens all the time with RFA deals. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.

Projecting from very little information. This almost never happens. At least Embiid dominated in those few games he played on his rookie contract. There is currently no offer that would be considered low balling.

We have very little. The Jazz have more since they see him all the time. There definitely are lots of offers that would be considered lowballing. All that matters is what Dante thinks is lowballing to be honest. Your opinions about his level have no impact on any of this. This is not a difficult topic. You guys are all basing this on your evaluation of him but that isn't what is going to decide the offer he gets.
 
What team(they have to have the space) is going to give us Exum a 4/40? Why should the Jazz give him a contract that no one else will?

4/40 is basically the MLE. I could see someone doing that. Unless he goes nuts no one will go over that... and if he went nuts we’d just match.

I think he gets 3/21 or 4/35 if he wants to go more long term. Could see a two year 20M with second year as team option as a good compromise if he thinks he can get a lot more once fully healthy.

Almost nothing would shock me on his contract.

I don't think the money is there. I think if we put a list together of the teams that have 10 million dollars plus and a list of the free agents available it would probably hint that all the money is going to be gone before teams even call Dante.
 
There's like no money in free agency this year, nobody is going to offer Dante anything, especially when they know the Jazz will just match.

Signing Dante to a contract that the Jazz won't match is the kind of move that gets a GM fired.
 
Anyone judging him on his stats is misevaluating the situation. This contract will be given largely on what DL believes he will be. The injuries are NOT a big concern as one was purely a freak accident.

Dante will get a 4 year deal around 32-40 million.
 
About 4M, that will be his qualifying offer.

Just to be clear, are you saying Utah will not offer him a long term deal, or are you saying they will, but Exum will turn down the money to play for the QO?

You're going to be wrong in either case, but I wanted to clarify anyway.:D
 
Or he's just not a good basketball player being paid a lot of valuable cap space.
Could happen, but I strongly doubt it. At worst, you end up with a relatively bad contract, it's never going to be a massive problem.
