Dante Exum re-signed

By the end of year two we’ll be thinking $11/yr for Exum is a bargain.

This was always going to be a terrible deal or a great deal... whether it was 8,9, or 10 per. Will either be a terrific value or a WTF were they thinking deal.

I think it works out... health the biggest factor... he showed pretty good improvement and I assume they are working with him right now.
 
Fair deal. I thought he'd get about $30M. Jazz take care of their own. That's part of the culture. Either he takes off and it's a bargain, or not, and it doesn't hurt us much.
 
Ya, but I'm not a big Exum believer, and I don't mind this deal. Unless there's someone here who simply wants Exum gone, I don't think anyone will be too unhappy with the deal. Pretty much mid-level contract.

I had the over/under at 3/24... if we got a team option on the final year the extra couple million makes 100% sense. If not I think its a tad high, but nothing to snivel about... they likely didn't want him hanging out there forever.

Scared money don't make none!

This definitely signifies they are pretty much done in free agency outside of minimum type deals. I dont expect them to use the full MLE and dip into the tax.

I'd expect at least one of Jonas or Udoh to be waived an Utah to sign Niang, Bjelica, or some guy who isnt in the NBA (like Royce last year).
 
Love it. Love the deal, and I love that it looks like Raul, Derrick and Dante had few doubts they wanted to come back.

Do we know if any of them even had a serious conversation with another team?

I think Bjelica gets more than what we will offer... I basically said the same thing. Depending on the structure of Exum's deal we can waive Jonas and Udoh sign a minimum guy and be about 6-8M from the tax.

That number includes Favs at his full 18M... so maybe only 16M counts for tax purposes? Not sure there.

Unless we get Bjelica on a multi year deal around 3/16-17 I think we waive Udoh and sign a minimum guy.

I still think the guy waived is Jonas.

Udoh has been in SLC nearly the entire summer and that stuff really matters to Utah.
