Love has one of the worst contracts in the league...
I think this is the best realistic upgrade this team could make. It totally depends on a lot of variables that are basically out of the Jazz's control, namely how well the Timberwolves do this season, in addition to how well Culver and Wiggins play.Someone like Robert Covington makes a lot more sense to target. He is a lock down defender, good shooter and a lot cheaper against the salary. He is coming off a surgery so might be had at a little cheaper, it will require at a least first round pick, probably a couple seconds as well to get him though. I'd mich rather prefer defensive first wing to another scorer.

To hell with thatI’d love to have both Covington and Andre Roberson. And also Shumpert. I’d play close games football/hockey style.
Exum doesn't have a $30M+ contract. Love declined to 38.5%/36% last season in just 22 games. At his age, you have to ask if he is in a steep decline in shooting AND health. He does rebound, I'll give you that. Exum is a very good defender who you can throw at guards. Love can't guard a water bottle. But it's moot; I guarantee you Zanak isn't trading Joe, Dante and another asset for Love.You may not like him and he does have an expensive contract, but at least he can perform several functions (shooting and rebounding) at an NBA level. There are many worse contracts out there. Look no further than behind the Jazz bench, Rxum (sitting there in a suit) has no discernible NBA skill and he has spent far more time hurt.

6 times!Just to be clear... that is 6 times Dante's contract spread out over 4 years for an aging player. Dante's mistake x 6!!! Yeah, let's say it again... 6 of dante's contracts for an old white guy who rebounded and shot the ball well 5 years ago and played as many games as Dante did last year. And that's your option for "better contracts"?!?! And you want to trade for that? Rust bucket indeed.
