there's a difference between healthy and game shape. dude hasn't played for half a year, give him a little time to get back to speed.
also, was it really 1320? are they even still around?
I would be surprised to see him play the point this season. No reason too, with Rubio, Neto, and Mitchell handling that duty just fine. I expect he will spend a lot of his on court time, parked for a corner 3.Conspiracy theory here:
Is it possible the Jazz really don't want him back at full speed/game shape this season? Give him some minutes - for example, 10 per game - to let him start to mesh with the team. But if Dante were to be in the rotation full-time (20-25/per), shoots well, shows his speed and defense, that could very well really push up his market value. The draft doesn't have a lot of lottery-worthy PG's or combo guards. Rebuilding teams, who will have payroll costs up to the floor whatever they do, could decide Dante is still young enough to be part of their future and sign him to a large offer sheet. Utah matches up to a certain point, but I'm sure they want to get Dante for ~$10m.
Just a thought.
Mate I mean $$USD tho !Hey there big spender...
I think we underestimate the positive impact of DM on X at our peril. Maybe I'm too hyped up on the koolaid, but I really think his leadership and play will push X to become what we hope and need on this team. I hope they tear up the league like they did the RMR.I am salivating at the chemistry that Dante and Donovan had in preseason. This could be huge!
Yeah, I like this guy. Lets trade everybody! They wont be Kobe.Exum sucks. just trade this guy. he won't be kobe. he has no confidence whatsoever.
Dante has always maintained he's a PG. Doesn't really matter. When he plays alongside Donovan, I suspect both will touch the ball a lot and have opportunities to initiate, just as Ricky and Mitchell do now.I would be surprised to see him play the point this season. No reason too, with Rubio, Neto, and Mitchell handling that duty just fine. I expect he will spend a lot of his on court time, parked for a corner 3.
This is a great point. Look at all the intense, competitive players Quin and Lindsey have brought in: Rudy, Donovan, Ingles, O'Neale, Crowder, Rubio, Thabo, Udoh. With Hood leaving, the most passive of the bunch may now be Favors and Exum.I think we underestimate the positive impact of DM on X at our peril.

Don’t need him to be Kobe. I’d settle for Danny Green-ish if he can stay healthy and is paid reasonably.Exum sucks. just trade this guy. he won't be kobe. he has no confidence whatsoever.
Mate I mean $$USD tho !
ohh yeah, eight crisp one dollar bills, make it rain!
U sound fraid of a little wager
