DANTE TRADED TO CAVS

[NUMBERICA]

I didn't think it was possible to get more Dante homerism than the aussie fan boys here but good lord, this guy's take is terrible!

This dude is a ****ing lunatic and is immediately and forever a know-nothing ******* for this take.

Anyone remember when Alec Burks was the Cavs savior for a while and then ended up out of the rotation there too?

That's cool Dante did well in his first game. Having no pressure minutes on a bad team will help him out a lot. Hopefully he stays healthy.

What about when he was out of the rotation for the Kings too?

Alec is doing okay this year.

This is hilarious reaction by probably one of our Exum homers.... jazz? tragic? utahjazzz is that you?

No, I’m better looking.

I couldn’t make it through the first minute or two.

Yeah I’m Dante homer of sorts, butthisguy!

Dante on the trade:

“Of course, it’s bittersweet,” Exum told cleveland.com. “Utah has been my home for the past five years, it’s where I got drafted, so obviously it hurt to go. But I’m excited for this new opportunity. Go out and play hard. That’s the biggest thing I can do right now. I’m here adjusting to a new system, new coach, new teammates so it’s a lot to take in all at once. As long as I go out there and relax, breathe and play the game that I know how to play then I should be fine.”

Well, pretty sure he is screwed, as everyone knows the dude can't breathe. Best of luck to him, I think he will be happy in Cleveland. Let's move on from the Exum show.

Farewell, Exum

Wasn’t Tony Jones full of “this is the team” montage right before the Dante trade happen lol

Yes. And clearly Tony wasn't including Exum in that, saying he was out of the rotation.


Oh I see Tony showed up. He's a great reporter.

Much appreciated. I will say that I didn’t think the front office was going to be able to get off Dante’s contract until next year when it became an expiring. But I did know a few weeks ago they were trying. It’s the reason after months of insisting that he wasn’t going to be traded that I wrote a trade primer on December 15 and hinted at a Dante trade being a possibility. I thought his salary number plus the fact that he wasn’t in the rotation would make it difficult to move him. But relationships around the nba matter and the front office has some strong ones around the league. This is the third straight season the jazz have traded with Cleveland

Great insight. Btw, always thought you were fair on Dante... Even when Locke and others were a bit defensive when confronted with the Exumites You kept an open mind. Keep up your good work...

When the Jazz signed Mudiay, I actually called the move a sign the Jazz were thinking of trading Dante, but of course like everyone else I didn't think it was possible because of his injuries and his contract.
