Dante Exum re-signed

still blown away that a guy that played an average of 40 games a year over the last 4 years, at 20 mins a night, and was pretty bad through 90% of those limited games, just got 33 mil. Crazy times we live in. If he fails to meet his potential, his contract may still be tradeable, but it might not. Burks' evidently wasn't, around the same price point.
 
I think it's a slight overpay based on his production to this point, but it's an overpay based on potential. I'm a big fan of his and believe he will live up to this contract (and will make it look cheap next year) as long as he doesn't keep getting freak injuries.

That being said even if one believes it's an overpay the idea that it was a bad signing is just odd to me. It's not that much of an overpay unless you think he has Raul Neto value.

Trust the process dude.

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.

You mean back when Jazz fans thought even $11 per for Haywood was an overpay?
 
Sorta feels like we're outbidding ourselves with these signings, lol. Neither guy had reported offers or interest from anyone else.

Gotta keep up the team morale. If they play well they'll be worth their contract and then some, possibly. I like that the Jazz didn't take an adversarial position. We are too good of a team to risk unhappy players. And why not spend the money?

I get that, but teams DEPEND on getting good value deals. Only way to be successful because we arent getting free-agents at discounts. GSW started the domination when curry was underpaid. Hopefully DM is enough of a bargain
 
I think Exum's team knew we weren't about to let him get away and we didn't want to mess around. If Dante doesn't get hurt it's at minimum a good contract.
