I want to see what Exum can do this season.

Is this his vet minimum? This should have been us giving him that contract. Dammit.

Zanik and co. have done such a damn good job this off-season, that I trust they got something in the works for a solid pickup. Hopefully.

I hope they snatch some talent from Europe.

As do I, and I’m crossing my fingers he can stay healthy. Say he gets injured, do we finally throw in the towel? Say he stays healthy, but his numbers aren’t good or they don’t meet up to our team needs, what do we do then? I’m assuming this is his last straw with the jazz even though we have him for a few more seasons.

Any word on the rehab of that knee tendon?

They would be, but high-level Euroleague guys won't come to the NBA for the rookie minimum.

That's actually very good news. I'm no Exum fan, but he does have upside. Since we're not moving him now, I hope he comes back and helps out the defense. Would love to see him turn into a stopper on the floor for us for a solid full season.

As far as I know, he’s still on track to be ready for training camp. He’s taking things slow, and doesn’t want to risk anything else happening. I’m pretty sure he’ll be ready to go as soon as the season starts. But that’s just my opinion.

Adrian Wojnarowski Is saying there’s no market for Cousins. He also said, he doesn’t think the mid level exception that he got last season is even there.

If you look past his attitude and injuries, he’s an amazing talent especially for his size. I think he’s a risk it for the biscuit kind of guy. He would give the jazz a lot of options as far as lineups go, and we would only need to sign him for 1 year. Since we are going all in this next season, why the hell not?

Wow, I'd think the Warriors at least would bring him back on a one year deal.

Just dream with me for a second

Conley/Exum
Mitchell/Royce
Bogdanovic/ingles/Royce
Green or Vonleh/Davis/Niang
Gobert/Cousins
and Quin as coach. Unstoppable

If Cousins never had that injury, I would say start him at the 4.

Guys, this market is ****ing crazy. Over 200 free agents, and teams spending insane amounts of cash already. There are going to be some damn good players that may only get the minimum.

And there are still people out there who would argue he's better than Favors for example... or hell... even better than Gobert. :crazy:

People have real hard time evaluating competitiveness and defense and massively overvalue the things that are easiest to see - offensive skillset.
