Official trade Exum and/or Bradley into cap space thread

At the game yesterday they showed Niang, Donovan and Exum in the crowd and when they showed Dante some in the crowd started to boo and they quickly went to a shot of something else. Then they went back to Exum after a bit. Uncomfortable.

Sorry love, I didn't hear that at all where I was sitting.

I just dont get the huge rush to axe Exum in favor of more scorers. The Jazz added two guys who averaged 20 last yeaf. They good on scoring. Exum is one of the Jazzs few defense first plus athletes left on the roster.

Isn't Rxum still rehabbing? What if he isn't ready to go for the season? Perish the thought, I know!

This is wrong. Exum's value only increases when he is NOT playing. He hid in Australia instead of coming over to play college? Draft stock increased. He missed most of two seasons of his first four? Got rewarded with a big new contract. His absence only makes the heart grow fonder! If he can manage to sit out the upcoming season, he should be setup for a massive payout soon after.

Yeah, the problem with this is the flip side that the FO and half of Jazz Nation then thinks “OMG the potential!”

He hasn't played 24 minutes per game since his rookie season. His last three years he's averaged 18 minutes per game.

Okay. But the Jazz are used to implementing a Davis-type guy for limited minutes at the 4. If Niang is ready to start, then go ahead. But he may not be.

Bojan and Niang are the only clear options on the roster (IMO). I think you lose some tactical advantage by starting Bojingles together, because i) both will a little gassed for the 4th quarter, and ii) one of them is going to get muscled on some nights by bigger 4s. I think Royce is needed to spell those guys, and Mitchell.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but Ed Davis isn’t playing the 4.

So far he has had a slow go. Injuries have slowed his growth. That doesn't mean the Jazz don't want him or other teams wouldn't want him. But I also know you are one who really dislikes him. Even when he was playing well you said you didn't like him because he moved "feminine"

Yes, because it looked uncoordinated and awkward and was looking like injury just waiting to happen any time he landed on the floor. If you look at my posts before the draft I was calling multiple injuries on him before he was even drafted just due to the way he moved. And I was right.
 
When Kawhi signs with the Lakers tomorrow, the dominoes will fall and the Jazz will sign a viable 4. (I bumped into Kawhi’s wife at Best Buy. She was with Carlos Boozer’s wife so I know this is legit).
 
It's really too bad Exum got hurt, because he had just started to turn the corner.

His December and January (only 3 games) stats were very good. 49.5/36/85 shooting splits and averaged 8/1.5/3.5 in 15.5mpg while playing very good defense. That's not a player who sucks. It's also not who we drafted him to be, but he's still a solid role player.

It's not real surprising he struggled coming into the year, and right as he was turning it around, he gets hurt. It sucks. I'm still hopeful though, because he's a valuable player. Young defensive players like him are not easy to find.
 
And the roster finally fits Exum

Not saying that's going to unlock Exum's potential and make him a great offensive player, but it's going to help hide his weaknesses.
 
I’m officially in on sending two 2nds to make this **** happen. No more praying and waiting around. This is the best year to go for it in... ever? The Jazz have serious momentum on the market right now and >$10 million in cap could go very far.
