DANTE TRADED TO CAVS

[DasJazz]

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.

So Randle essentially screwed it up. Get it?

Like what you did there Das.

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.

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

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.

I’m thinking this means the Jazz are going to focus on developing and re-signing Mudiay as a long term backup. I’m cool with this.

It was way overdue, and I like Clarkson. A clear upgrade that can boost the bench. Feeling groovy about this one.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Clarkson has the worst tattoos I've ever seen.

Chris Birdman Andersen is worse.

People are mad about shedding a 11 mill a year hole? This is a huge upgrade

 

[Shad]

Doesn’t move the needle a ton, but he just scored 33 in his last game. Any scoring we can add to the bench for exum’s non existence is a positive at this point.

How doesn't it move the needle? We literally just let go someone who was doing literally nothing for us for someone who can actually score

I seriously thought he was untradeable.

Do you only just read the first few words of a post?

He said it doesn't move it a ton, not doesn't move it at all.

After letting this trade marinate.... I'm going to take a wait and see approach.

I stand by my initial impression IF that is our only move.

But after thinking about I think this might be just the first of multiple moves to improve our bench. We might be looking into moving a few of the young guys into the rotation eventually. Or targeting a few buyout targets in February.

We'll see how it goes

Chris Birdman Andersen is worse.

You would think but I'm not so sure.

 

[str8line]

After that fall Dante took and then that other play where he looked injured and had to come out I think we benched him in fear of his getting injured until we could trade him.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

33 points his last game.
