all the things you've been ******** on Donovan about, they are actually real facts on the cavs backcourt Garland and Sexton. some teams would've traded them by now since it's become pretty clear that those two have no star potential.In 6 games for the Cavaliers, dante is shooting the ball at 63%fg and 58% 3pts too.
Dante is probably the best player in the Cavaliers right now.

This never would have happened here. He had 3 TOs and Quin would have put his arse back on the bench. For whatever Quin had a short chain with Dante and would never let him work through rough spots and learn, like he is now with Bradley.
He was also limited to what he could do on offense due to poor ball handling skills, he’ll he struggled to get the ball over the half court line against aggressive one on one defense.Dante’s struggles in Utah weren’t due to Quinn. He had bright flashes of athletic ability but ultimately wasn’t a good decision maker. Great game for him but it was also against an uninspired and underperforming T Wolves team without KAT, and on the Cavs home floor. Also Cleveland still lost.
I wish Exum the best. Those are my thoughts. I always held out hope he'd work out for the Jazz but it never happened.What are your guys' thoughts on Exum?
What a compliment. He might lead them to 20 wins.In 6 games for the Cavaliers, dante is shooting the ball at 63%fg and 58% 3pts too.

We rode the Dante roller coaster for a lot of years but I'm actually surprised at the hate. Dante never started drama. He played hard when he got the chance. He was abused by Quin right in front of our eyes so many times. He did get hurt. He did make mistakes. But I watched nearly every one of his games in a Jazz uniform and never questioned that he wanted to succeed.
I always thought he had potential to be great... that he could be the key to the Jazz becoming contenders. It seems that I was right. With the JC trade we are now contending.What are your guys' thoughts on Exum?
I am stoked for Exum. As a 'forever Exumer' I am happy. However, I didn't get to see this game live, and only seen the highlights since. I do feel that this type of offensive performance is not sustainable for X
I was really hoping when I heard he had scored 28 points that he had gone 7/13 (3/7 from 3 and 11/12 free throws). I feel for Dante to be a legitimate scorer he must live at the free throw line.
However, some of his finishes in the lane were a little 'Mitchell lite'. I wonder if that is one good thing he may have developed or learnt over the past 3 years sitting on the pine in Utah. It may bode well for him injury wise too if he can have a little floater game and herky jerky moves in the lane to avoid his kamakaze drives when he doesn't have an angle on the defenders.
But still super happy for him.
Mind you, Exum isn't the kind of no-conscience bench scorer that Clarkson will continue to be for Jazz.
I watched it dude, he didn’t force anything, the weird little floater/hook shots he hit are the ones he makes, no kamikaze stuff, couple good passes and rebounds. It was just getting rolling with some confidence. And after he got a breather Sexton wouldn’t look to pass him the ball and he didn’t get another shot lol
