Dante Exum re-signed

[candrew]

This. I like both players but THIS fo sho.

When this is revisited in a year or two, I think Dante is worth what he is paid but I just that we could have had him for less due to the market conditions.

Also known as Utah's Gordon Hayward RFA approach from a few years back.

Dante will be either MIP or sixth man of year next season. I believe

So we have somewhere in between 17M and 40M in cap space next year depending on if we waive Rubio's caphold.

I'm not sure both Exum and Rubio are in the long term plans if we are also planning on signing a marquee/high level free agent... I think it is most likely that we try like hell to get Harris or another target at the trade deadline.

I think all the significant moves are done... One of Udoh or Jonas is going to get waived and replaced with a minimum contract flier (a Royce O'Neale type).

The FO has garnered a lot of goodwill this offseason. Drafting Mitchell's choice, Favors, keeping the beautiful one, the recently injured Dante and Seph... the dynamic should be good for everyone to feel appreciated.

The number really only affects if we use our MLE this year, which may never have been the plan. So a couple million is fine one way or another... If you hate the deal at 11 per... you'd hate it at 8 or 9 too.

Way overpriced. We have our new Burks for the next 2 years

Um.. Burks can't defend but Exum is nearly elite when healthy.

After seeing how much we gave Exum and Favors, I'm now kind of scared to see how much we'll give Rubio next year.

If we're paying Dante $33 million based on potential, I have some doubts about the Jazz's desire to sign Rubio to an unfavorable contract.

Favs deal makes a lot of sense to me and I think having Dante come back is the right thing to do but I am in the camp that we overpaid on this one. I am curious what else was out there for Dante though I am sure the Jazz knew what it was and took it into account. I am guessing JJ is gone.

 

[Deron Williams]

This is insane, imo, and I apologize to whomever it was I mocked for saying Exum would get $12M. The Jazz are really doubling down on the whole Exum as a legit prospect/cornerstone thing. Hope I'm wrong, but I disagree.

Rubio

but is he any good in a brawl ?? might need that for the national team duty

"When healthy" Which is 20% of a season.

Rubio

Did you even watch Dante when he came back?
