Dante Opts for Surgery

I'm actually glad and I think it's the right call. The worst case scenario would have been trying to come back this year only to re-injure it and have to have surgery anyway. This way he can get it over with and come back healthy next year.
 
Just 1 season I'd like the jazz to be healthy. Makes me hate sports sometimes. My teams are always freaking hurt.

I feel the same way, Mariners in baseball last season, and now the Packers, and of course the Jazz.

And don't get me started on my teams down here.
 
I am not glad at all. I do trust the fact that he did all he could to sort out what was best. Best of luck to him in the recovery.

Season is over for him and the jazz should get an extra roster spot now.

Nope, not the way it works. There's no "injured reserve" in basketball. I think you need to have 4 players that are going to be out long-term before you get a roster spot. The injury exception in the NBA only gives you extra money to spend, but the team still has to clear a roster spot.
 
go sleep Dante....see you in March.

To me this means that Exum's next contract will be on the smaller side. He has not been healthy long enough to show anything that would justify a big contract. Increases the Jazz's chances of bringing him back IMO. Silver lining?
 
Does not matter if he takes QO or not. What matters is what it does to his fragile body and his state of mind. He already was landing on his *** on 90% of his drives, question is will he become even more hesitant to drive into the paint? Because lets accept it, scared Exum who does not drive into the paint is absolutely hopeless when it comes to potential. He will never become good 3 pt or midrange shooter so what does he have left to offer? Defense and passing from top of the key? Doubt any team will take a gamble on that.

So you basically haven't watched him since his rookie year. Why do you keep talking out of your *** when you don't watch games? Dante has made a lot of progress in terms of attacking the basket.

And he was recovering from his acl injury quite well. THAT was the injury that had me concerned, and Dante did not pull a Derrick Rose where he was afraid of getting hurt again. If Derrick Rose can still play in the NBA after the mental issues he's had with injuries, Dante will be just fine.

It's only 4 million. With his injuries, it would ve tough for him to turn down a multi year offer with more money.

His QO is $6,619,903 from what I see... Also... one has to assume he'd be thinking he's going to get more money after having a healthy season, rather than after having his second missed year out of 4. I guess we'll see how that one goes.

No. He does not qualify for the starter criteria, so his QO is the same as it would be for the 15th pick in the draft. Dante's QO is the same as the one Nerlens Noel just signed.
