Gobert, Favors, G-time, Burks Hood, Snyder, the development of Lyles.

Let's face it, Exum wasn't going to do much this season anyway other than not make mistakes on offense and play good defense. Neto may very well be able to fill that role as well.

Yeah, but he was going to get better this year in some way and lets us know what we really have.

Exum's injury sux but he isn't our number 1, 2, or even 3 guy. It doesn't blow our season.

This is not about this season. It's about his development and trajectory as a player for the next 2-3-4 years and about Jazz' ability to evaluate his progress. Now he misses 12 months and is in his third year playing post ACL surgery(there is some evidence that players level falls immediately after ACL surgery while they get used to and learn to trust the new reconstructed joints). So in year 3 we still wouldn't know what we have either way, especially if he doesn't play well... And then the last year of his rookie contract comes.

It's such a waste and such a setback. I absolutely hate this. It makes me wanna throw up. I don't care about next season. We weren't going to be contenders either way, with or without him, it doesn't matter much for next season's performance. But it would have mattered hell of a lot for his development and now he probably won't be back to full strength until year 4 of his contract and that screws us over much more than him barely missing 1 season of play.

Or it means we get a Curry like deal on his next contract and he blows up and becomes one of the best players in the league. Lets be honest, GS doesn't win the title if Curry wasn't hurt a significant portion of his rookie contract. Because Curry would have cost a lot more than he did if there were not injury concerns.
.
Not saying he's Steph Curry, just that you can't be sure of anything you just said.

I hate the injury but these guys are going to play basketball in the off season. Either in those FIBA games or pickup games, or over at the practice facility with the Jazz staff. They can get hurt doing any of those things.

Yeah and if it is an ACL I think the most prudent action for DL, both short, medium, and long term is to target an up and coming PG and cash in on our assets and go get him.


1. It will help us be more competitive in the upcoming season and being fair to Hayward, Favors, Gobert showing them that we are serious about winning

2. In the case that Exum doesn't pan out post injury, there is at least a backup talent ready to take over

3. If Exum does come back strong, we still have an asset in the young PG that we have developed and we can trade him away if we wanted to


I really do think this would be the most prudent course of action. If Exum does miss a year with ACL I would be very surprised if we go the whole year with Burke, Cotton and Neto without DL making a trade and move a few assets around.

I'm thinking the same. Burks will need some serious coaching to grasp the position but he has played pg before and I think his court vision/passing is under-rated (and underutilized since that has not been what he has been asked to do very often).
I like the idea of having your best players on the court together as much as possible

My boy AB will step up to the the plate and kick some serious ***, mark my words.
