Exum Injured

The Jazz and the doctors already know if it's an ACL or not. A Lachman test is easy to do and will show pretty darn conclusively if the ACL is severed or not. MRI is really only necessary if the test is inconclusive (minimal shift between tibia/femur). It's extremely painful to do it right now, but once it swells up to a grapefruit, all mobility to move the knee is lost.

Having torn my ACL in much the same way, it's time to start praying that Burke turns it on this year.

And I know we'd like to make the best of him being on the sideline, but I hobbled over to the sideline, put some ice on it and sat and watched the rest of my soccer game in the same manner. I will admit that it's a bit strange that he wouldn't be icing it and would have it simply wrapped.

Sadly we've already been praying for 2 whole years :(

For the record, I had a knee on knee the other day (medial side) and my knee totally gave out, and I had trouble walking for the rest of the night.

Turned out just being a lil sprain, and I was fine in a week. There's a small chance he might be okay.

Please be the case! :(

No, there is another. A fear so awful that it cannot and should not be typed or spoken.

Well there goes the excitement of this upcoming season. Unless Derrick Favors becomes Karl Malone this year, it'll probably be a long one.

If it's an ACL I would give Atlanta 2 firsts and throw in Trey Burke and let's get it done for Schroeder. Quin has worked with him before and he broke out last season.


This is the year we need to make a run at it with Favors and Hayward's contract coming to an end soon. Need to strike while the iron's hot.

*Schröder
 
I know Cotton isn't nearly as good defensively as Exum, but offensively I like him a hell of a lot more than Burke. He also had a pretty good Summer League and he is pretty quick and shoots it pretty well from 3pt.


If we strike out in trading for a Schröder type prospect, then I hope he get some major minutes with our starters.
 
You people are incredible.
NEVER cease to amaze me.
like a bunch of Facebook Jazz fans.
Panicking for our season end because Dante Exum and his amazing display of anxiety, and lack thereof of offense could possibly be missing from the team this year. Gays are acting like we lost Kevin Durant or something lol. Pop a molli and chill.

No dude, it's gonna be a looooong season without Exum's 4 points and 2 assists. I wonder if we should even try to compete. Might as well tank it.

It's not panicking. We've quite possibly lost Exum for this season and next season he probably won't even be 100%. That doesn't even figure in how behind he'll be next season on improving in his game, moves, body, psyche, etc. This pretty much put the kid behind two years IMO and even in 2017, we don't know if he'll have the same natural ability he did have let alone reach it.

Standing pat would be stupid IMO. We have our starting 2-5 with Hood, Hayward, Favors and Gobert. We have our instant offense 6th man in Burks. We have our future stretch 4 in Lyles. We have a couple other solid bench guys in Burke and Booker. But a poor starting pg kills this potential we do have.

We don't need to keep stockpiling future 1sts. Hell, I'm usually of the notion to keep snagging those assets. But now, right now, is the perfect time to use some of them (isn't this sort of why we've gotten them?) to make a move for a guy like Schröder.
 
I'm not an uber hyper jazz fanatic, but a devoted fan...

I was born on the exact same date with this humble kid
July 13th 1995.
Liked him from day 1, The day i've heard of him.

My day was already going pretty bad.
I didn't cry when i saw the "torn acl" tweets but believe me i was about to.

Get well soon brother.
