What does Dante get in Free Agency?

If he has a decent end of the season, sign him to a 24/3 deal with a TO in 2020 and everybody's happy. The average salary is more than fair in this market, it's not that long that he feels he's going to be losing a lot of money over the length of the contract if he gets much better, and it's at least movable in case he sucks or can't stay healthy and the Jazz need to add it to a future trade deal.
 
Dante will not get much interest because teams will now be doubly sure (with Hood gone) that the Jazz intend to match all reasonable offers.

Is he a player an opposing team's GM would gamble on? 99% on here say no I reckon..

I think the Jazz will offer him a long term contract(around MLE) and he will likely choose to play for the QO. Might be wrong of course.

Lets put the hypothetical like this - what's the offer you would make as the Jazz to Exum? What's the offer you would accept if you are Exum?

The other option is he takes offer similar to what Mirotic got 1+1 with the Jazz.

Offer if im the jazz? 4 years 38 million.
Accept if im X? 4 years 38 million
 
SMH. Jazzfanz are worse than Laker fans at times. This infatuation with "potential" of young players that have shown zero potential is plain silly. Exum cannot shoot. Exum is not a great assist guy. His PER is 5.7 and 8.5 in the 2 years he's played. He is injury prone. He sucks *** on defense. His DRtg was tied for dead last last season, with guess who? Fat Boris Diaw. Trey Burke had a better DRtg than Exum in his last season in Utah.

The kid needs to be let go if he wants much more than the vet minimum. "Potential" in almost every case is showcased in the NBA in the very first season. There are a few exceptions but almost everyone who becomes anyone in the NBA shows they have talent in their first season, or maybe the second. Exum hasn't shown jack ****. When will Jazzfanz wise up and realize this simple concept?
 
I'm a fan but if he wants to get a payday he has to win games.

He showed enough potential and chemistry with DM45 in summer league to be very excited. And if we cut ties with him I think he'd be picked up real quick.

I agree with this. I hope he has a good agent. Many guys have "bet on themselves" and lost big time over the last few years. Even a mirotic type deal could be fairly catastrophic if he flamed out and had his option declined. 38M for 4 years is more than fair and puts him over $50M in earnings and a FA at 26ish.

I think the MLE starts at $8.6 mill this year. With 4.5% raises, a 4 year MLE contract would therefore be 4/36.8. Substantially less than 4/40.

I wouldn't call ~3M substantially less, especially on NBA numbers

Anyway, it only takes one dumb GM using all his MLE to raise his value close to 40M. But yeah, from the Jazz perspective a fair value IMO is around 36-40M/4 years with either injury clauses or a team option.
 
When you think that Stockton agreed to play for paltry 14mil/6 years back in 1990 and now we are talking about a scrub ( albeit with potential) getting 4/40 as a bargain it is truly sad where the NBA went with these salaries. Kids don't even need to be good to get paid for life... hey I have size and quick first step, please pay me!

" Stockton's is a six-year contract believed to be worth as much as $14 million.
"This contract is far beyond my wildest dreams," Stockton said. "If you go back to when I first started playing, I could have never imagined that it would come to this. I know that I am fortunate to be playing in the league at this time."

Some of the salaries for role players are ridiculous

On a side note, 14M is still a big chunk of money, more than any person and family would need for the rest of their life. Unless you crave luxuries or other unnecessary things. Which reminds me of Chandler Parsons with his "provide for my family" comments after getting in an argument with SJax about his 100M deal and his role in the firing of Fizdale (btw, at that point he had made a ton of cash already with Dallas). Or the infamous Latrell Sprewell

Well, that's what happens when the salary cap and league earnings go up.

Would you rather the owners pocket all that extra money?

I'm pretty ok with the players getting paid. It ain't my money. I'd rather it go to the players than the owners.

How many unprotected draft picks could we get for Parsons? This year cap space will be overvalued and we could sell high if we got three picks.
