No need to be a dick head. People are disappointed and upset, and justifiably so.

That's me. No hamstring, just quads, loose knees, 30. Srsly I ****in hate when they pop out and get all stuck. sux

edit: not the valgus thing. I don't know what that is.

Knee valgus is when your knee goes in under any stress or when bending. Its caused by hip adduction and internally rotating. It puts a lot of stress on the ACL joint.

Knee problems suck especially after 30, everything starts to fall apart.

Yeah mine don't go backwards they pop out sideways. They are still tight enough that it takes a minute to get them back in. It's probably from years of using these.

Once again, you seem to be assuming that Dante is the exact same player as last year. Even if he was, we'd still be worse defensively without him. Offensively, on nights when trey goes 2-14 or 2-20, we are also worse offensively than any night with Dante. On the nights when Trey is hitting his shots, we might win in the short term, but I'm not convinced it's all that great for team development, as I don't see Trey's game fitting in with what we want to do with ball movement and a team game. Maybe Snyder can get him under control this year and get him to limit his shots and improve his shot selection, but if it's the same old ****, I definitely don't believe for a second that we're just as good without Exum. I think we'll still have a chance to fight for an 8th seed, when we could have had a chance to shock people with Exum. Forget about the possibility that Dante could have been significantly better this year offensively, in which case you'd really be selling him short even more than you already are.

Maybe you are forgetting that we upgraded our bench, got Burks back, and will see improvements from Gobert, hood, favors, Hayward, Snyder and more.

We gonna be good this year without dante

I don't think anybody is forgetting that. You (and some others) are saying that it doesn't really matter that Dante is gone and some of us disagree. My expectation was that PG would still be behind this year in development, but it was acceptable because Dante's ceiling was so high. In addition I felt like he would probably be up to speed by year three. Now I don't. I see this as a major problem that needs a solution. The best solution would be for one or two of our three current PGs to elevate their game to a new level, but I think it's more likely DL will eventually have to cash in assets for an upgrade. In my view Dante's injury changes the plan significantly.
 
I can see where you are coming from, but I disagree. If this takes one year out of Dante, then does that really upset the entire process? I don't think so. What could upset the entire process is to panic and go out and get someone who does not fit long term.

I see the Jazz making the playoffs this year, althought it would be easier with Dante still here. Seems like some wise b-ball people think we can still make it. The following year we are little more competitive, then the next year Dante hits full stride again and we will be at full throttle. A slight positive for this year is that we will get to see who is the 2nd and 3rd pg for this team.

I agree with you. The injury sucks for dante and the jazz future.

My argument has been with those that say since dante is hurt we won't make the playoffs this season and that this season will be boring and suck and we might as well not watch it

Also, remember steph curry and his ankles.
GS got curry on a fantastic deal because everyone was scared of his ankles and, due to his ankles, he hadn't produced much. Then he blew up, they had him for cheap, had plenty of money to spend on free agents, and won a championship.

This could be a blessing in disguise. (Unlikely, but possible)

It is only unlikely because Dante would never in a million years have become a Curry-level player. Every time the guy falls to the floor, we get a bunch of posts about how they "hope it doesn't shatter his confidence". :rolleyes:

Curry was already a very good player before the ankle injuries; Dante is not.
