If the Utah Jazz wish to keep Dante Exum, it may cost them a fairly pretty penny. The 22-year-old is just seven games into his return from what was initially deemed season-ending shoulder surgery, but he will become a restricted free agent in July. So while the Jazz don’t have a huge sample size to [...]

Dante Exum has had a really hard time making his imprint in the NBA, and because of his inexperience and some injuries, has not come close to living up to the expectations of being the No. 5 pick of the 2014 NBA Draft. This was supposed to be a big year for 22-year-old Exum as [...]

It is clear that the Utah Jazz are in postseason mode and are going to be looking for a starting caliber point guard during the trade market.

Utah Jazz sophomore Dante Exum is progressing toward next season’s return.

Let’s call last year’s NBA trade deadline what it was: Awful and boring. Next, let’s guess what this year’s NBA trade deadline will be like: Potentially awful and boring.
