DANTE TRADED TO CAVS

Some Jazz can't let the hate go. Exum is no longer on the team and people still take the time to bash him. I wish Dante the best and hope he can have a productive career and stay healthy. I also think Dante would do better in a less structured offense. It will be interesting to watch his career.

I don't, Dante set this team back years with his nonproductive ***. Glad he's gone, he was turning into a cancer on the team.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like the Exum craziness in the Jazz fandom before. One group is at the extreme hate point where they refuse to recognize any good moment Dante ever had on the Jazz. Another group is at extreme stan level where Quin was the only thing holding Dante back from being a superstar. It feels like there were very few people in the middle. I had high expectations for Dante early in his career obviously because he was a top 5 pick. With each passing year my expectations lowered. As of now I view him as a prospect that can be multi-positional defender for an NBA team. I think that has value in the league. I think that he still has untapped potential that he has time to unlock. I understood why the Jazz held on to him so long. I also understood why some fans were ready to give up on him before the Jazz were. I am fine with the Jazz trading him now. I wish Dante the best in Cleveland.

Most of all I'm glad the crazy divisiveness over Dante within the fanbase can finally go bye bye lol.

Obviously you never ran into Carlos Boozer at Best Buy before.
 
Dante has more upside than most fans think, but he would never have achieved anything here. Quin had him on a short leash with a shock collar. If you're constantly injured, or miss lots of time in different seasons, Quin has trouble believing you'll ever amount to much. Did it to Burks too. Both are better players than Quin treats them, but they have proven they can't be counted on for any length of time, I guess. Anyway, Dante is gone, Clarkson is here and is currently a much better player and provides something the Jazz need. Just his presence on the court puts pressure on the defense. Additionally, he'll be allowed to do what he does without fear of jeopardizing playing time or being relegated to the end of the bench. Dante will get a chance to prove he can play without being pulled after every little mistake. I think he'll make the most of it and become the slasher he should've been. He is already an almost elite defender, and has all the attributes necessary to become one. For what he's done, the Jazz got more than fair value and improved cap room next year, a clear win win. It's too bad Jazz fans don't leave him alone.

Wish there was a "Haha" reply button because hahahahahahahahahaha!
 
I see what Larsen and Locke were saying about Dante. He does look noticeably slower on the court.
 
fwiw Sexton looks very underwhelming Terrible iq and atrocious D

Dante prob needs a good couple of months of game play to get game conditioning and back to speed after that injury
