DANTE TRADED TO CAVS

[SoUjazzfan]

Bottom line is we got a player who will play for a guy glued to the bench. It's a win from the get go.

He shot around 44% the three years he was there. Most chuckers don't shoot 44% as a PG. Dude has a better FG% than Conley and Rubio.

Sure he can shoot ok but his shot selection was atrocious. And frequent

I try not to bag on Jazz players while they are here, but no he is gone so....Dante was a mistake that should never have happened. Inconceivable a team would tank a whole dang season for a guy with so little skill. I didn't like the player or the fit from the start. If they couldn't trade back or trade out they would have been better off saying "Pass" when it was their turn to pick at #5 and taken Clarkson in the 2nd round.

He was just waaay too raw and unpolished. Then the injuries just compounded things. I wanted us to take Julius Randle after his finals NCAA performance in that draft. I'm sure it would have been a slam dunk if he didn't need to have a screw put in his foot.

Remember Jarnell Stokes the guy we drafted and then quickly traded? Stokes was taken 11 spots higher than Jordan.

So Randle essentially screwed it up. Get it?

I too wanted to hold strong until we got a great defender, facilitator, rebounder and with good size. And totally thought it was within reason for the semi warm corpse of Dante Exum.

WTF, DL/Zanik?!

Great post

Nobody is giving anything of importance away for Dante and his contract.

Sounds like you got his joke then? No?

sorta what I said......but....like, sarcastically

You being sarcastic here as well? My bad I didn't detect sarcasm in text.

I'm guessing the jazz needed to do something after Conley reinjured his hamstring. If he's out a while we need someone for those nights where Mudiay isn't cutting it. Giving up Exum's contact was a bonus.

It's all a total crapshoot. Can't understand why Memphis wanted a 6'4" power forward in the first place (if it was prearranged, which I assume it was).

to be very clear, ANYTHING (scorer, expiring to get out a year early from Dante....anything) for Dante is a win.
