God I hope so.
This year is a wash, Id love Dante to get some minutes where he can concentrate on his game instead of the win now mentality we've had over the last 2 years.
It will break me if I never see the DMX backcourt become a reality.

No timetable. No one knows.
Im hoping we get some sort of an update around the new year but I doubt it. Jazz dont want to put a timetable on his recovery. I think we will find out when he starts full contact practice. If its this year then they are trying to bring him back. Im really hoping post all-star we get to see him in limited minutes. Although I worry if he plays well it will drive up his price.
It'd be nice if he can get some burn this season.
Sure it would. But everything I have seen makes that seem unlikely. If that is the case and the Jazz are tanking then let him rest. No need to push it. Damn his injury sucks.

Why not use the GLeague as a rehab like major league baseball does with the minors and players coming back from injury.

We are perfectly capable of losing if Exum makes it back.
Id have DM putting up 25+ shots a night while Dante puts up 20+ pull ups a game. Be super aggressive on perimeter defense and have Exum and DM gel a bit.

Id hate this. I dont think hes injury prone like some do but if he got hurt in the Dleague... my god.

Has the FO seen enough?

I feel like Exum was counted on to be a big part of the office this year by driving and kicking.

The QS interview w/ Chris Mannix definitely made it sound like Exum is very much a center-piece of the future.
I think Snyder believes in him a lot. I think the FO trusts Snyders opinion of the players. I would be shocked if we didnt keep him after this season. Unless for some reason a great trade came along. But I think that statement is true of all out players. I think we would trade anyone if the right trade came along. I think Gobert, Mitchell, Exum, Ingles and probably Hood are our top keepers from the FO opinion right now and in that order.

The way Hood has played I'd be surprised if he was that high on the list.

We've asked a lot of Hood. We are asking him to do what Benedict did in 5yrs in a single offseason.
He has been inconsistent but I think the staff believes in him. Although impeding free agency might scare them into trading him if they think he will get a big offer.

I hope he plays better going forward. Because right now I see him as a backup SG/SF who should get minutes only if his shot is falling.
This is not Hood's first season.
