Official trade Exum and/or Bradley into cap space thread

I just dont get the huge rush to axe Exum in favor of more scorers. The Jazz added two guys who averaged 20 last yeaf. They good on scoring. Exum is one of the Jazzs few defense first plus athletes left on the roster.

Who do we play at the 4? If you're talking about defense, are you cool rolling with Ingles and Bojan at the 4? Do you not view Morris as a defender? I don't think any of us are wanting to dump Exum for a scorer. We're wanting to dump him for someone who can legitimately play the 4, start, play defense, and still have to be guarded on the perimeter. Morris checks all of those boxes.
 
Agree with Cy on MM. Dude would screw our offense with bad shots, pout, bitch about his role, and get into unnecessary altercations (both with other teams' players and ours) non-stop for 82 games.

If the Jazz can't get anyone legit for the 4 I think Davis starts but still only plays about 24 minutes (a la Favors). Every game will simply evolve to the Gobert/BoJiIngles front court to end the game.

No way. They were moving from Favors to get Niko then Bojan for spacing. Ed Davis is a worse floor spacer than Favors as he does not take any shots outside the paint. Ed Davis is a 5. He hasn't played 24 minutes per game since his rookie season. His last three years he's averaged 18 minutes per game. Four years ago he averaged 20. He's not starting. He's also not playing the four unless it's the end of the game and we're needing rebounds from the free throw line, unless there's a rare matchup issue where he's playing 2-3 minutes at the 4.
 
Looking at what the Kings have done this offseason... I think Bjelica could be available. They signed two centers and two guys that play SF/PF and have Bagley and Giles who they love there. They can likely do better than Dante if they decide to move him... but tell Vivek that he reminds some people of Shaun Livingston... he will immediately pay 1.50 on the dollar.
 
So it is 10 pages of discussion of a scenario that is clear the fo has no intent of going in (trade exum) ?

I probably know the answer, but: any interest in Boogie Cousins for cheap? Give him a chance to re-establish himself out of the limelight. There seems to be no market for him:

Great discussion. For what it's worth I loved the earlier start time to free-agency.

Niang can handle a few minutes as well.

That being said I would love for the Jazz to trade Exum and Bradley and pick up a legit starting 4.

Yeah they aren't going to trade him. It's kind of funny reading some things the fans say about Dante. It just shows so many fans don't understand basketball lol. The smart people are the fo. They know what they're talking about.
