Dante has been out forever because he ded

It might be fair to question his heart a little bit, but there's also a really really good chance that the medical staff or front office wants to be careful with it. They did just invest 30 million into him, and he has previously been injury prone.

question his heart .. really .... on exactly what to base that inane comment
 
Ok, I came up with a new nickname for Exum:.... Yeti

Because him being seen doing something good on an NBA court is such a rare sighting, that's been talked about for a long time by people, hes' got some cult like followers that are ready to spend years for another Yeti sighing. But at the same time there are a lot skeptics .

I think of him as The Enigma. Or The Enema. Whichever you prefer.

I remember hearing the same rationalizations for Boozer. I hope we’re looking at this rationally and honestly rather than letting our “hopes” drive our thinking. We’ve now seen him miss 2 seasons to shoulder and knee injuries and now a significant part of another season has been ruined due to an ankle injury that really didn’t appear to be very serious.

To be clear, yes, I’m questioning Dante’s heart and toughness. I truly wonder if he still has the fire to play and play here or if he’s ready to hang them up or leave utah. I’ve seen plenty of ankle sprains, his didn’t appear to be that serious to me, and I seriously question whether Dante is as injured as he appears.

Don’t compare Dante with a good player that still played most games.

It is entirely possible that they are actually just injury prone, which is no better or worse than someone that’s weak-willed.

Dante is our new Alec Burks. Every season we anticipate him coming back from injury and being a major contributor. And every season he sustains a new injury or two. I just hope Dennis doesn't fall back to the "getting him back is our biggest acquisition" line after he decides other FA's want too much money.

Can we stop comparing Dante to players that have ever played significant stretches of good and/or productive basketball?
 
So now the most optimistic scenario has him coming back in mid March. I wouldn't be surprised if he misses the remainder of the season.

You make a good point. Boozer was an ***, but he was a very good offensive player and one of the keys to our success in the post S2M era pre-Snyder regime. That 2007 jazz run was highly entertaining.

And I’m saying At some point you gotta cut your losses. This year was his last chance. He’s blown it. If he can’t play well for most of this season then he needs to go. Which he really hasn’t done aside for 2 games prior to this “injury.” Jimmer was also drafted high but teams had the good sense to finally let him go. We need to do the same.

There are other players out there who could give us better production. Hell, Gerald Green was sitting on a couch when Houston called him up. I doubt anyone here would prefer Dante Exum over Green right now. Morris, Manimal, and Rivers were all picked off the scrap heaps it seems and all could’ve given us positive minutes if we’d just cut the umbilical cord from Dante. We have so many players on our roster giving us zero. The Niang experiment failed, Allen has been a bust, etc. Screw chemistry, we need talent. Right now Gobert, Mitchell, and jingles are being asked to do too much.
 
Don't wanna be harsh on Dante; he's still a kid and potential is there somewhere beneath his skin.
Besides, he probably had something to do with the Jazz going for Joe the minute Rivers waived him.
So... there's that.
