Exum Injured

a 5 star asset has just been changed to two star. We could not trade him for much. Even Dante Haters can be mad for this!= if you don't like him. Dante fans will not like it because he might not ever reach potential with this one. This is setback whichever side of the fence you can sit.

If Dante reaches his potential, we can win titles. If he doesn't, we don't have much chance at that. I don't care how good he is right now, the kid has immense potential, and an ACL tear could seriously hamper that.

A number of people have said that "we're not making the playoffs now". As if Dante plays more than the tiniest role in the team's current successes. If he injured his ACL, then that really sucks, but it's not hopeless. First, it barely affects the Jazz' fortunes for next season. Second, he's very young and he's likely to recover by the following season, specially since he's not exactly the most explosive athlete, and all is needed from him is to use his length on D (as he had been doing), and improve his shooting and overall offensive game. On the plus side, him being set back a year is likely to decrease his value once it becomes time to resign him.

I for one never thought Exum would become some sort of superstar, and I was hoping he would become an above average PG. That's all we need to become championship contenders. We already have 3 players who are likely to be among the 20 best once they hit their prime. Not everyone needs to be an all star.

I wish Exum the best, but it's not the end of the world.
 
The Jazz and the doctors already know if it's an ACL or not. A Lachman test is easy to do and will show pretty darn conclusively if the ACL is severed or not. MRI is really only necessary if the test is inconclusive (minimal shift between tibia/femur). It's extremely painful to do it right now, but once it swells up to a grapefruit, all mobility to move the knee is lost.

Having torn my ACL in much the same way, it's time to start praying that Burke turns it on this year.

And I know we'd like to make the best of him being on the sideline, but I hobbled over to the sideline, put some ice on it and sat and watched the rest of my soccer game in the same manner. I will admit that it's a bit strange that he wouldn't be icing it and would have it simply wrapped.

Sadly we've already been praying for 2 whole years :(

For the record, I had a knee on knee the other day (medial side) and my knee totally gave out, and I had trouble walking for the rest of the night.

Turned out just being a lil sprain, and I was fine in a week. There's a small chance he might be okay.

Please be the case! :(
