Dragan Bender on Waivers

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Is he really that bad? I think we desperately need a stretch 4/5 with length to throw at teams. Am I pipe dreamin? WTF NOT?

The only thing he can literally do is shoot, and generally he doesn’t do that well either.

Exum netted Clarkson, so it’s time to let the air out.

Two 2nd round picks netted Clarkson. Exum was just salary matching.

He should sign with the Stars. Someone needs to fill the William Howard role.

Bender is so soft he makes Exum look tough. Hard pass.

So you’re saying Exum was necessary?

The counter argument would be that Exum’s salary was necessary. However, Exum’s salary over the offseason came directly out of the Jazz’s cap. Without that salary, the Jazz could have theoretically signed Malcolm Brogdon AND Bojan (while keeping Crowder and all or most of the pieces sent out for Conley).

Here it is.

His salary was a millstone over the offseason.

Image if Dante was 7'. He's like that but worse.

I’m trying for the very opposite of hair-splitting. I understood why they offered the contract when they did. It went bad. They turned that bad situation into a player that looks like he could be a key part of the core.

When I step back and see that, it’s pretty easy to end my moaning about Exum.

Okay.

Or worse. We probably only needed one second rounder to get JC. But had to give away one more to dump Ex's horrendous contract

Time for the Jazz to pull another Jordan Clarkson.

Milwaukee plays a system similar to the one that the Jazz run. Bender was touted as the next Porzingis by many scouts before the draft, Utah is now known for helping players develop into their potential when other teams could not. He was drafted by the Phoenix Suns when Jeff Hornacek was the head coach. He plays for the Croation national team alongside of Bojan Bogdanovic. Utah has a place called Bender Mountain. The Utah connections are practically endless.
