Lol, beat me to it by a couple of seconds.
 
I'd throw every penny of cap space I had at Goran this summer. It won't come close to getting him, but swing for the fences DL.
 
That list reminds of just how deep PG's are in the NBA. There are some decent PG's in the teens and even the 20's. I wonder if someone posted the top 30 Centers how crap the last 10 or 15 on the list would be. I remember when even Hakeem was playing that he said he only had to play tough vs 4 or 5 teams because every other center in the NBA back then was crap.
 
I think there are some in the organization that think Exum will be the best player on the team in the few years. No way they're going to sign a semi-superstar pg to take all but 10 of the pg minutes.
 
Love Exum, and I'm not stressing out over his development until at least halfway through this upcoming season. . . but I'm not sure I'm buying that he'll be the best player on the Jazz unless he explodes when he's bigger. Knowing what we do about Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Burks and Hood. . . if Dante was the best player on the team, the Jazz will be amazing.
 
That title is misleading. He can't be "Best", being 30th in the league means you're the "Worst" starting PG.

Trey is not a starter. A #30 ranking is actually pretty damn decent for a backup pg, no? Of course our current starter isn't in the top 30. I'm hoping that changes next year.
 
Draft is a crap shoot. Burke buried 3s at NBA range in college like nothing.
For whatever reason, he cannot consistently hit them in the pros.
 
I'd throw every penny of cap space I had at Goran this summer. It won't come close to getting him, but swing for the fences DL.

Yeah, that would include dropping Booker, forgetting about Tomic, and adding no other pieces in order to get to a few million UNDER a max contract. How about "NO?" Until a Maxed Point Guard comes close to winning the championship, I'll go ahead and let other teams make that mistake.
