Dante has been out forever because he ded

[NUMBERICA]

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?

Injury was more serious than we thought. Medical staff went to evaluate Dante and discovered he had died sometime last week.

So two weeks?

Two weeks to an evaluation that will determine he needs two more weeks until reevaluation and so on and so on and so on........

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

The Enenigma?

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.

Just dump his ***.

I still remember Boozer doing a couple great things for the Jazz.
Right now Exum does not belong in the same basketball breath.
That's a damn fact.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not really saying Jazz should keep him. But it is a fact that Jazz like the idea they've got of him.
And we all know what happens when Jazz like someone for whatever reason.
