Please ask for a trade, Dante

No player will have a good trade value if he only plays 2 minutes a game with
many DNP-CDs in between. He has not been given any decent court times by the Jazz at all, which is ridiculous.
Tell Snyder to play Dante 25~30 minutes a night for the next 3, 4 months then we will talk about his trade value.

Dante would literally die with those minutes glass bones rip
 
Dante would benefit from a change of scenery, he needs to be able to play and not think about what a mistake will cost him. His leash is as short as Burks' was and it wasn't fair to Alec either. The comparison is made because both players have/had some unfortunate luck with injuries and both alternate between being in Quins DH or out of the rotation altogether. Rudy and Bojan excluded, the entire team has really not been great in shot selection, performance, or moving the ball, yet most don't ever get pulled for a mistake.
 
I don't want to give up another first round pick just to get rid of Dante. Thinking he has any trade value at this point is ridiculous.
 
And you want to add picks onto that? Aminu is a rotation player who was a starter for years. Exum is a non-rotation player who is perma injured. There's just no way ORL sees that as equal value.
I think you attach a second rounder and it’s a decent deal of Orlando wants to roll the dice. They’re already doing that with Fultz, though. But they’re not going anywhere. Them holding on to Aminu on his deal is pointless.

To dump salary.

Aminu is playing 20 MPG for them. Exum is not getting time over Fultz, Augstine, or Ross. Maybe he's getting minutes over Iwundu as a wing...but there's is easily a much more defined role for Aminu as a backup 4 on a team that is trying to make the playoffs. If they get rid of Aminu, they need someone to fill his spot. Exum is not filling any need for them.

Aminu has one year on what is a fair contract...and he's playing unlike Exum. You can think Exum is going to be a superstar in the future, but you're really lying to yourself if you think his contract isn't a big negative right now.
