T -3.5 hours to tip off and no game thread -- Jazz @ Mavs 6:30 pm MST

less than 10 minutes playing time for Exum.
Please don't resign with the Jazz Dante,
unless.you want more tortures.
 
Man, we could really use a scorer in this draft. Before anyone says Burks though, I want someone who actually knows the sport. Rubio can be shaky on offense, we may lose Favors, Gobert isn’t some great offensive weapon. Like, we really need a 3 or 4 or 3/4 who can put points on the board.

Nobody is going to say Burks.

Oh, i don't think we have to worry about that. You should be more concerned with finding a good way to watch the Chinese league so you can continue to follow him next year.

Wow. So you literally are going to give him 50 minutes back to decide his fate next year?
Or are you just being like cool and funny and all that..

Come on. I get why it’s fun to tweak the homers of guys like Kanter and Exum, but do you really think that A.) the Jazz won’t extend or match a contract offer?
Or B.) think nobody else will want him either?

I think there’s very few scenarios that don’t involve Exum being back in Utah next year. He might not have lived up to his draft position, but he’s still an NBA player. Even if his career arc is nothing more than Shaun Livingston, he’ll be in the NBA for awhile - likely with the Jazz for a good part of that.
 
No, he doesnt need to show anything now. Hes just getting his legs underneath him. Seruously, do all you anti-Exum posters expect Dante to be at 100% after missing the entire year to date?

He was fantastic in summer league. No reason to not expect he can get back to that level after another summer of work.

At worst, he'll be a huge upgrade over Neto for 15 mins per. At best, he gets 25-30 mins as a combo guard and allows Mitchell and Rubio to get some additional rest.

I could be wrong, but I dont see any team giving him an outrageous contract offer. I think he'll be back with the Jazz,

I'm not going to get all hot and excited about a lottery pick going into his fourth year that was "fantastic" in the summer league. BFD - he should be fantastic.

The Jazz need to be careful - they have a unique situation on their hands where they have a guy on the verge of becoming a star in this league that will be under a middle of the road rookie contract for 3 more years after this. This is literally like hitting the salary cap lottery. They have to be careful about filling the roster around him.

I'm not saying cut the guy loose; but they can't be blowing significant cap space on a 5th year maybe either.
