During the best off-season in our franchise history, everybody is fighting over Dante Exum. Freaking let it go people - BOTH SIDES. Enjoy this incredible moment of positive feels. We are legit contenders. Our roster is 10+ strong. This is no time for arguing about any player on the roster; it's time to celebrate everybody on our roster.

Enjoy this incredibly unique moment. Stay positive. Stay united. Support our Jazz. Let's Go!
 
Yep, whether the execs have been trapped by sunk cost fallacy or not, the reality is that we have enough of our team needs already met that waiting on his potential upside isn't costing us anything important. Just look at him as a lottery ticket that we bought with our lunch money, if it pays off, awesome! Otherwise, didn't cost us anything we couldn't afford to lose.

Pretty sure you could’ve plugged Adolf Hitler in for Dante Exum and a tiny bit of other verbiage here and this would’ve sounded right in 1936.
 
Do people really want to give up assets just to trade Exum into cap space? To what end? Obviously if you could get a decent role player for him you'd do it but I don't see where that trade is coming from. If Exum comes in healthy and is good next season--which I wouldn't expect, but it isn't a far-fetched possibility--then that is a huuuuge positive for the team.

Yes. Because $11.6M in capspace (if you find a suitor for Bradley) is pretty huge. Obviously do this if you have someone in mind that would commit.

Ok Dante sucks though, I will just need to continue to embrace the lie that he is good and the jazz will benefit from his dnps. That he wasn't a mistake to draft and to extend. I love the jazz always will I'm happy about the moves just feel like he is a bust and cost us other valuable roster players with his money invested. If we don't get to the next level he is one of the major reasons.
 
I think it’s foolish to assume that:
-Exum is the best way we could $9.6 million and/or
-We are “good enough” just because we’ve made a ton of progress

If a team isn’t willing to absorb him with two second-rounders, then it’s probably not worth considering.

I’m mostly moved on, I’m just flabbergasted at how much people value someone that’s done staggering little in five years and is getting seriously paid.

We dump Exum and Bradley and sign Marcus Morris, we become favorites to win it all regardless of what happens in the of the free agency world.

But sure, let’s ignore ways to improve the team because exploring ways to improve the team is now considered “hateful.”

I disagree. If you are gonna do this then do it right. Dont stop short. We will need all the fire power we can get.

Everyone acting like a championship is in the bag.

No one is saying the championship is in the bag. People are just excited about the moves that have been made. However, some people are never satisfied and need find something to complain about. What value does Exum have around the league? Not much considering he has had 3 major injuries and not played very much. So why dump him just to dump him because you think the final piece is out there. I think the FO has done a very nice job and know what Exum is capable of doing if he can stay healthy. When they lose faith in him then I am sure they will look to trade him.

If all it took was a couple seconds I think we'd have done it already... We can get a guy like Marcus Morris midseason... if Dante is healthy and shows some progress. At this point because of the price to move him I think it makes the most sense to keep him and hope he can give us something or improve his value to a point that we can move him.

How do you know they haven't already explored that option or the Jazz aren't interest in Morris?

Well said. Exum homers continue to enjoy your fairytale too bad it is costing our team another valuable championship piece.

Well, there’s the narrative is the Jazz don’t win it all. Didn’t even take us until the end of Jazz SL.

If nobody is willing to absorb him for two second rounders, then that should be a huge wake-up call for us.
