Third point

I don’t understand it either. I’d think that Caruso would be high on our list. He fits our strategy of bang for your buck. He’s far better than Exum and will easily take Over his role regardless of whether Exum has injured himself by thanksgiving or not.

Plus, poaching him from the Lakers helps to limit the role players they need.

All we can offer at this moment is a minimum deal.
 
Has Neto been picked up off of waivers yet? does the 48 hours count during the offseason, or does the clock not start ticking until contracts can be signed?

Caruso isn't coming here on a minimum. Lakers will match that all day long, mainly because they need bodies.
 
Donovan Mitchell is the backup point I hope. Conley or Mitchell should be running point for at least 40 minutes a game. Ingles can run the offense the other 8 minutes with Exum defending the opposing PG.

Exum won’t be playing because he’ll be injured.

Another reason to really look at another option besides Neto. Neto can’t play more than 2 games in a row before breaking too. I don’t understand how paying someone who can’t stay healthy to fill a roster spot benefits us.

I agree with this. I see the Jazz using Exum more as a defensive stopper in the 2nd unit, backed by Davis, while Mitchell, Conley, and Ingles run maestro duties. This won't preclude Exum from pulling PG duties, but until he proves reliable and healthy, we need a 3rd PG for emergency purposes and when Conley, Mitchell, or Ingles get load managed.
 
What about Brad Wanamaker? Only seen him play a couple times. Did well in Europe and his numbers looked solid this season... just couldn't get any run. I'd throw him a minimum.
 
Pangos has one year left on his deal overseas at about 1.75M. I wonder if he’d come over or what the buyout would be.

When Exum is injured, you stagger Mitchell and Conley's minutes even more so one id in the court
