DANTE TRADED TO CAVS

[Avery]

Dante will go down as a major bust for us in a draft full of them.

Good news is perhaps NY may want Clarkson.

Also Clarkson will have more trade value.

Portis and Ingles will be beating the crap out of one another during practice in no time!

This will never happen because Ingles ain't a bitch like Dante was

Cavs fans think this is a win for them because Dante has major potential.

We should show them the last five years of JF posts.

Potential is the most dangerous word in sports.

Can we trade Jazz and all the Bustum supporters to Cleveland for future considerations also? I'm so glad we will not hear those losers anymore preaching about that crappy ball player with the days to come

If Clarkson never plays a minute we are better off than we were.

If he can only improve the bench scoring slightly, it’s a big win.

And I think Ben Anderson pointed it out on Twitter, but Clarkson will instantly be our 4th best plus/minus player. He’s not an absolute disaster as you’ve painted him.

What are you even talking about? Go back and read my posts. I NEVER painted Clarkson as an "absolute disaster".

What I said is that Clarkson with the CURRENT bench unit makes little sense because 1) Clarkson and Mudiay are both score first guards, 2) Mudiay/Green/Niang are already a poor defensive group and Clarkson is a poor defender too, 3) Mudiay/Green/Niang do not create deflections, steals or blocks and neither does Clarkson, 4) Mudiay/Green/Niang are all low assist guys and the ball tends to stick, it sticks with Clarkson too.

My entire concern with the trade in my previous posts was framed within the context of whether or not Clarkson fits.

Never said he was bad.

Bright future ahead for the jazz now that they traded our weakest link. Can't believe we found a taker. I will always think DL was an idiot drafting this bust then extending him for being an even bigger bust. Dumbass DL.

I am betting Dante made the request as soon as he got healthy or probably before he was ready to play. Too many missed games and time for a new start. I think trading him gives us money for Royce.

The trade had to be made but all aside, I really liked Dante and really wanted him to be succesful here. It's sad to see him leave like this. Hope it all works out for both sides and he gets a nice ovation when he plays against us. Good luck, Dante!

Now I have to change my avi. Last time, I had Hood and he got traded too. Ugh.

I too wanted to hold strong until we got a great defender, facilitator, rebounder and with good size. And totally thought it was within reason for the semi warm corpse of Dante Exum.

WTF, DL/Zanik?!

This!
Isn't it that, while yes Jazz bench need scoring, it should be from a big or at least the front court?
