Dante Exum Averages .2 Steals Per Game

Cousins and A Davis did not seem to work
That's a similar situation
Also no to Cousins
He will foul things up beyond repair
 
What we need is simple - we need Exum to play a bunch before now and January 15. If he can have a couple big games. 20+ 5 assist type games, he could be a good trade chip. A guy with his profile next to a guy like John Wall or Devin Booker or Aaron Gordon could be a sell.

Sitting Exum is just stupid in my book. Sure, he hasn't played well but its not like Rubio has played well enough to play 30mpg. And for the love of God, give Thabo's minutes to Exum instead of Thabo.

If we want to move on from Exum, we have to play Exum. Tanking his value like we did with Burks is idiotic. I don't want to pay Exum $10 a year to just sit there.

Great idea. 5 good games against an elite league, with elite management is going to fool elite management. Totally rational reasoning.
 
I really wish our coaching staff and FO would have a conversation about what it means to build a player's value.

It's such a shame they don't have an expert like you to advise them. I mean, what better way to build a player's value than to have the other team watch him make defensive errors on multiple plays in a game?
 
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Multiple accounts or multiple personalities ? Both man crush Exum...
Plot Twist: It is Exum and Ben Simmons' on burner accounts trying to get Exum shipped out of Utah or get Quin fired so Exum can escape the doghouse

So we should just not play him? What kind of ignorant logic is that?

Did you guys learn anything from the Burks experience? He was raw, had injuries, showed potential, got a contract he didnt earn, never got consistent minutes and got traded with 2nds for Korver. Either play him or dump him. Well, you can't dump him until January so play him until then. Sitting him is dumb.

I had wondered that before the achilles rupture, but not now. I think we’re at a point where I’d say that’s the kind of gamble we could take (assuming he didn’t have injury). But, really, let’s say hypothetically we put him at the four and pretend he can’t guard fours... seriously, what the **** is the other team going to do? Put their C on Cousins and let their small ball 4 guard Rudy? Ok...

If the 4 blows by Cuz, we’d have Gobert there to back him up too. Plus Cuz is great with the kids.
 
I don't think Dante is getting no minutes just because 'he sucks'. He can't run an offense like a point guard. This puts him in the now-crowded wing rotation. And ultimately he's not all that useful as a wing that can't shoot a lick. He's Royce with worse size and shooting but with better playmaking.
