Exum Injured

[Thee Jazz Fan]

God I hope it's a hyper extension or something.

Hopefully it's nothing too bad, but if he is side lined out for a while what do you guys want the jazz to do? Stick with trey, neto, and cotton? Or trade for a vet pg?

... Dante is thin, quick, and doesn't have a history of injuries...

Exum doesn't have a history, period. The odds he would be ready before the Hayward and Favors contracts ran out (never mind Rudy's inevitable payday) were already long. If he ripped up his knee those odds have become immeasurably long.

Time for Lindsey to find a good vet PG and move this rebuild forward.

Damn... why does this have to happen now, things starting to get good for us.


I would say trade one or some of our assets for an up and coming PG who's on the out somewhere... may be somebody like Darren Collison? Rondo is joining the Kings so they may be wanting to unload him? Wouldn't mind Elfrid Payton neither.


We could have gone after Ty Lawson but it's too late now.

There are factors that increase risk of injury, like body weight. But it impossible to look at someone who doesn't have an injury history, and go "you know what, his leg thinness makes him 15% more likely to get injured over the next year". Those are highly paid professionals working for billion dollar businesses. It's not like they're just too dumb to figure out what you so easily have. Dante is thin, quick, and doesn't have a history of injuries. He's also extremely timid and contact averse. I can't think of a player who has a LOWER risk of injury! But there is a risk with every player, and injuries will always be an inevitable part of sports.

Okay.

We're not getting Payton. Lol.

And Lawson has stated he hates utah.

I wanted a vet pg even when dante was healthy.
I was down with trading for lawson.... That is how bad I wish the jazz could get a real pg.

Point guard will most likely be what holds the jazz back this year.... Even if Exum were healthy

This is premature. We still know nothing about the injury.

Looks like an ACL to me. ****...

A bit of cycling goes miles for strengthening the muscles around your knee. The way he got injured is a very common move in basketball. I'm just on a rant, I had high hopes for the kid.
