Exum Still Ded

giphy.gif
 
The 24 games DedEx is going to play he is going to be epic. I predict at least 7 pts, 2 assts, 1 steal, in his 24 restricted minutes which means his per 36 will be crazy! Like what, a million? Day-um.
 
The jazz are saving him for the first playoff game to help get us off to a good start, then get us off to a good start in the first half of game two before he says see ya next year.

Exum still has a chance to be a positive with his contract. Exum maybe cost us a MLE role player. That's not a player that would make much of a difference.

How can it so flippantly be said that Exum costs us a MLE player and say "oh well, they wouldn't make a difference, anyway," while at the same time suggest that Exum could? It really seems like using opposite logic in both scenarios. Suggest Exum is "not a player that would make much of a difference" and TJ is wanting to burn the house down on the ignorance of his potential specialness and nobody trusting the FO on what they see. If delusional thoughts can be entertained about Exum's ability to impact, why no coddling of someone's MLE dreams?

Dismissing an MLE, like, "yeah, it doesn't ****ing matter." SMH.

Exums contract has yet to be proven bad. There's still time on it. I guess let's see how we do this year in the playoffs. You can't say last year that there was someone we could have signed with Exums money that would have put us over the top last year.

He at least has a bigger upside than guys getting signed for MLE. Teams don't usually let players go with big upside, hence why the Jazz kept him and paid him. I am positive if the Jazz were faced with the same scenario they would take the same risk again. It was a low risk high reward decision. Unfortunately unpredictable unlucky injuries hit.

One MLE contract being spent on a player that unfortunately has had bad injury luck isn't that big of a deal. Maybe if we had couple of them on the team it would hurt us.
