Woah... ease up there. Let's not count our chickens :)

****, the chickens have been sold. Dante is legit as can be. Someone is going to offer him a big contract. He is so next-level on his power, explosiveness, speed and aggressiveness to even where he was in summer league. His shot may never be that good, but his speed is mega-elite and he plays smart.

I didn't expect this so quick. I'm giddy in a way I've never really been about a Jazz player to be honest, just because I didn't expect him to look so big and strong last night.

I'm so happy to see Exum back.

Also, I'm not making a decision on Favors until we see what he does alongside or without Gobert should we make the playoffs. If he works, great. If he doesn't and leaves this summer, I feel like we will be fine with Crowder, Jerekbo, Thabo and a small contract signing occupying the PF spot. Even Ingles can get some minutes there. In 2019, we can target a long term PF option.

My Jazz TV buddies and I were talking about Favors last night and we all agreed that although he's a really good fit right now, he's not a priority.

You know you're preaching to the converted with me. So take it away...
I can see a team like the Spurs thinking, Dejounte Murray... nah. We will make an offer on Exum.

Yup, we're not getting him cheap. Kind of a bummer but as people said you just have to hope he's really good and pay up. My concern was that he would have just a few good games and we would have to possibly match a toxic deal, but I'm not worried about that after last night. He's going to be a key piece and we can afford him.

I think crowder might just be our perfect 4.

I agree. He's good, he's a good teammate and he's on a good contract. He's pretty much perfect.

Everyone is buying in right now and there's not too much pressure on anyone. Quin is looking like a genius. We're witnessing the melding of a championship team.

Feel for Alec though. Money-man gonna need to shop at Mr. Mac.
 
I love Crowder, but I don’t think he has the same impact on defense at the 4 spot that Favors does. I agree that we need to see how it works in the playoffs to know what to invest for the future - but the Gobert, Favors, Crowder, Jerebko frontcourt is getting the job DONE leading up to the playoffs.

Also, let’s say Favors makes a big jump as a shooter next season like Millsap did when he left for Atlanta. That only makes the Wasatch Front that more amazing.

I’m waiting to see how the playoffs go and how his next contract looks, but this team is uniquely built and I’m hoping to keep the best young players from that group together as long as possible.

Right - that's about what I was thinking. He doesn't have that baby deer look that he's had in the past.

He looks like an actual man playing with men.

And i didn't notice his weird flayed out fingers thing he does alot and constantly grabbing his shorts and skipping at times rather than running.
He still looks a little weird (his mouth breathing is still a bit odd) but not near as much.
