Dante Exum re-signed

[Shad]

Rubio gets 14 mill a year and we're paying a bust of a player 11 mill. No way we can resign Rubio next year. Dude deserve AT LEAST double what Exum makes

So the Jazz may have overpaid Exum $4 or $5 million, but that is cheap insurance for DL. If Dante stays healthy, he will be the first guard off the bench this season and, if he becomes the player we thought he would be, he should be amenable to a contract extension with the Jazz.

I was really hoping for 4 years. Exum got paid fairly and I'm happy to have him back.

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

After this deal he should be 'banned' from national team duty.. LOL !!!!

A player being a bust has nothing to do with trust the GM or coach, it's the fact that he's bad

People need to wake up to the fact that as a small market team trying to re-sign free agents to budget deals is not a good long term strategy. In part these deals are about the front office learning their lesson after what happened with Hayward. Maybe we could have built a little more goodwill with him if we hadn't tried to let the market set his value.

Well that same coach and GM see the kid every day and they made him this offer.

I dont buy into any of that. He was gone regardless.

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.

Rubio is loyal, he won’t be exclusively chasing the $$$

I love this deal. Sure, it's high-risk high-reward given his spotty health history, but the kid is still only 22 and his body has developed a ton. Still think he'll be a very good player. Even if he doesn't develop his shot or midrange game, his floor as a terror defender and guy who can get to the rim at will is probably worth his $11M. Health is the only issue.

I also like the fact we signed him outright and didn't force him to find a deal on the open market and then match (maybe he had an offer for the same amount, who knows). Sounds like we're building a players-first program that takes care of our own. $11M is a lot in the current market, says a lot about how much the organization values him.
