Utah`s options this summer

[TheStormofWar]

Shooting 40% from the floor, 30% from 3 and averaging 4 points in the playoffs is considered "one of the better scorers", then this team isnt really close to contending.

I think it's more about price for what he does. He's a cheap contract who could, in all likelihood, fill a niche if given playing time.

My fear with dumping Exum is how thin we’d be at guard in a league that is now all about small ball.

Unless we dumped him so we could use money to get a better guard doe

No guarantees though.

I mean, trading him to someone for cap space and maybe a super late 1st could be worth it. We'd then have about 11M to spend on Caruso and someone else.

There is no point of doing what he does if he isn't even good at doing it. Shooting 30% from deep while these shots were wide open is not helping us in any way shape or form. I'm sure we can find guys from summer league who shoots better than 30% when uncontested

Possibly but based on the fact that he was the reason the deal didn't go through last time because we wouldn't include him makes that less likely.

We assumed but never confirmed or verified

Jones is as clued into the organization as anyone is in the NBA. Not 100% fact, but that was the word around the campfire was that Utah would not include Exum. Given that contract he got last year, I believe it be correct. Lindsey either has some weird bromance with Rxum or Dante has some good blackmail material on the Millers.

Could Tony Jones correctly say that the jazz wouldn't include Exum AND could Memphis have never wanted him anyways?

I think the Jazz should look into making Rubio a reasonable offer to stay on as a back-up PG, thus keeping our second string formidable against whomever we play! We are going to need a backup PG anyway, right? Seems like to thing to do if you ask me.

I can pretty much guarantee that the jazz could find a better guard for exums salary.

Exum has been literally one of the worst players in the NBA in his career. And that's when he is even healthy

I'm buying low.

I tend to think their GM was fired for being insane. Woj and Shams both reported that teams, including Indiana (Utah East) called Memphis "insane" in their demands for Conley. As such, I'm sure Exum was brought up as a trade condition by Memphis but shut down by Utah.

No cap space unless they release Favors.
