Farewell, Exum
Wasn’t Tony Jones full of “this is the team” montage right before the Dante trade happen lol
Much appreciated. I will say that I didn’t think the front office was going to be able to get off Dante’s contract until next year when it became an expiring. But I did know a few weeks ago they were trying. It’s the reason after months of insisting that he wasn’t going to be traded that I wrote a trade primer on December 15 and hinted at a Dante trade being a possibility. I thought his salary number plus the fact that he wasn’t in the rotation would make it difficult to move him. But relationships around the nba matter and the front office has some strong ones around the league. This is the third straight season the jazz have traded with Cleveland
It still bothers me that Exum runs around with his thumb sticking up. It just seems so unnatural and awkward.
Yes. And clearly Tony wasn't including Exum in that, saying he was out of the rotation.
Oh I see Tony showed up. He's a great reporter.
I am just stunned by many posters here who think that Tony Jones ( poster ) is real Tony Jones reporter. Maybe I should create an account called Quin Snyder or Denis Lindsey to make fools of them as well.[/QUOTyou'
You've already made a UtahJazz32 and DasJazz account on top of this one, so might as well keep the ball rolling, eh?I am just stunned by many posters here who think that Tony Jones ( poster ) is real Tony Jones reporter.

Great insight. Btw, always thought you were fair on Dante... Even when Locke and others were a bit defensive when confronted with the ExumitesYou kept an open mind. Keep up your good work...

Some Jazz can't let the hate go. Exum is no longer on the team and people still take the time to bash him. I wish Dante the best and hope he can have a productive career and stay healthy. I also think Dante would do better in a less structured offense. It will be interesting to watch his career.
He still could be...in fact if that is the real Tony Jones than it makes it even more likely since it shows he lurks here a bit.And here l always thought MeloTheJazzKiller was Tony Jones.
Get ready for some conspiracy theories...He still could be...in fact if that is the real Tony Jones than it makes it even more likely since it shows he lurks here a bit.

Obviously you never ran into Carlos Boozer at Best Buy before.I don't think I've ever seen anything like the Exum craziness in the Jazz fandom before. One group is at the extreme hate point where they refuse to recognize any good moment Dante ever had on the Jazz. Another group is at extreme stan level where Quin was the only thing holding Dante back from being a superstar. It feels like there were very few people in the middle. I had high expectations for Dante early in his career obviously because he was a top 5 pick. With each passing year my expectations lowered. As of now I view him as a prospect that can be multi-positional defender for an NBA team. I think that has value in the league. I think that he still has untapped potential that he has time to unlock. I understood why the Jazz held on to him so long. I also understood why some fans were ready to give up on him before the Jazz were. I am fine with the Jazz trading him now. I wish Dante the best in Cleveland.
Most of all I'm glad the crazy divisiveness over Dante within the fanbase can finally go bye bye lol.
