It ain't happening... we shoulda played hardball with him this summer and gotten him on a better value or let him walk.
I will reiterate my biggest issue with the Dante Exum Experience (btw much of this isn't his "fault"). The slow nature of this fail is what is most costly. We lose a season to tank for him... that's fine... picks don't work out. We never really commit to getting another guy because you need to have a route to playing time... so we spend on fill in options and make trades for guys that can be good while he gets there. We triple down and give him a deal that was probably like a 20% overpay at the time... if we could have gotten him at say 10% under market, so 3/18 or 3/21 with final year non-guaranteed he's a much better asset. If he got a big offer and walks that is fine. Now we have Favs looking like a great fit when Ricky isn't also on the court... we could pick up his option, but then wouldn't have meaningful cap space... unless we dump Dante for no salary (good luck).
So the Dante experience cost us a lot... but much of it could have been avoided by cutting our losses. Hopefully knee is fine and he comes back and looks fine... I am out on the guy though.
