I would love to hear that exit interview with Ex.
I posted this in another thread, but want to add it here as well:
Our latest big news is Dennis Lindsey's comments after last night's draft on Exum. Said Exum has responded in a huge way this summer to the 'truth' Quin shared with him in the exit interview and that the player you're going to see next year is one that's made explosive growth. Dennis rarely, if ever, gives false praise - he was considerably more muted last year on Exum.
My hunch as to what's going on:
--The Jazz think they've got very good odds to re-sign Hayward.
--The growth they've seen from Exum this summer has convinced them that he's the player they've always thought he is, but he'll likely need another year before he completely takes over the reigns.
--Paying George Hill an excessive amount of money over the next four years would risk their ability to retain Exum and Hood.
--They need a cheaper PG who will be able to provide starter minutes for at least half, if not all of next year, but will also be willing to take a back seat after that as Exum rises above them in talent.
--Donovan Mitchell is someone who can back-up Ingles at the 2, play spot PG minutes, and compete with Exum to make them both better.
--Burks is on his way out at the trade deadline, assuming rehabbed value.
