Jazz vs Bucks

I think pissing post would be more accurate.

And yes, he is a pro, but he is still a kid. There were several other breakdowns tonight but none of the others drew the same response as Exum did.

It's his third year with the Jazz and he's still not getting it. I was pissed too when I saw how weakly he contested Maker. I thought to myself, what the heck is he doing? Does Dante want to be a star or even just a solid NBA player? He needs to show more heart and desire. What he has shown so far is not going to cut it.
 
So at this point, what's the downside of trying Exum in the D-League? Especially if the Jazz situation is bordering on toxic.

You cant put him in the D-League. He has to agree to it. Best guess is his agent is advising him to say no.
 
I feel like Lyles is the same way - he tends to play much better as a starter. I would prefer to see Diaw on the floor with the second unit and Lyles starting.

Yeah but I think every starter performs better with Diaw in the game.
 
Heard that favors is being held out because he is part of a trade package.
Dude at work heard it on local sports talk radio that some jazz reporters were saying that.
I may have heard the sports talk conversation you are talking about. It was between Monson and Checketts. The part your friend is missing (probably switched channels or something) is that they made it clear their conversation was pure speculation and not based on any insider info whatsoever. They said they'd be having similar conversations involving most Jazz players between now and the trade deadline. When I first tuned in I thought the same thing your friend did.
 
That's correct according to https://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q81

"Players with 0-2 years' experience can be assigned at any time. Players with three or more years' experience can be assigned if both the player and the union consent."

You mean incorrect. Players in the league 3 years or less can be assigned anytime. Players with more experience (like Burks) have to agree.

Exum was sent down, but only for a practice.
 
Can we please move Withey up the depth chart by the way? I always have more faith in him than Diaw and Lyles at the moment. He can't have the impact those guys can when they're playing well, but I feel like I know what we're gonna get when he is on the floor.

Agreed.
I have always thought he should play more

Even with Favors back, I think Having him at Centre and keeping Favors at the 4 makes us a lot better than Favors sliding to the 5. It also means we don't really have to play any differently when Gobert is off the court.
