Dante Exum was selected by the Jazz with the fifth overall pick in the 2014 draft. The guard was expected to play a major part in the franchise's future, and he started 67 times in his first two seasons with the team. However, he averaged just 15.8 minutes per game last season, and Dan Favale believes the Jazz are ready to offload the 24-year-old:

Dante Exum's contract isn't looking so hot after he underwent season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon in his right knee. His injury history is scary, and he's owed about mid-level-exception money each of the next two years ($9.6 million). He's still just 23 and one of the NBA's more tantalizing backcourt defenders. It shouldn't take much for teams to absorb him as a salary anchor—which is good for the Jazz, because they figure to be among this summer's most active buyers.

Exum has two years and $18 million remaining on his current deal.
