Which hand?
While I have you here... One pressing question a lot of us have wondered is why didn’t the local media press the Jazz at all on the whole Conley benching fiasco?
Seems like Quin wanted to do so and Dennis Lindsey stepped in and decided to override it. Is that fair to say?
Mitchell seems to be more effective at PG and Conley would be great off the bench. In fact he was great off the bench for us when he came back from injury.
Non shooting
Seems weird to me that that would affect his market then. Anyway, I couldn't find that info doing a little digging, so thanks.
I think what happened is the story broke and the Jazz were taken back by the storm it caused. If you notice they basically started Conley and played him more minutes with the second unit, and it looked like a happy median. Conley is still a starter and he proved it in the bubble where he played well. Also, Donovan became a point guard level player faster than anyone thought. So there’s that as well. The two will both play a lot there this season. I expect the same kind of rotation. FWIW, my guys are telling me Conley looks great in camp. Now obviously that has to translate to the season but that’s the current word
He probably won’t be a full go for a few weeks. He injured it right before free agency started. I’m hearing he will be a limited participant for the next few weeks. A lot of conditioning, some shooting. He’s not far away, but the Jazz don’t want to push it

Thoughts on Delon Wright this season? Feels like a fantasy sleeper this year playing under Casey with chance for big minutes .
Do you think he has an immediate role and will play on a nightly basis? I know that’s basically impossible to answer but what would you guess at this point?
Thank you for the insight. I respect the hell out of you for hopping on here and talking with us. Please do it more often!

Hot dammit we just got the next Bruce Bowen.
We are the Spurs 2.0

We've heard that the rookies as well as Morgan and Oni are also looking good. Do you know if this is just teammate talk or if there's more behind it?
I heard jarrell Brantley looks terrific. Came into camp in great shape
I think he plays the Mudiay role
A tangent off of this (that you guys can’t really be there) and this is not Jazz related but the league in general: obviously organizations need and depend on the media in some regard, but do you think the league/organizations will capitalize on using COVID as a way to create a buffer with media and to better control narratives with the much more limited exposure and access they will actually get?

Thanks Tony. It seems 'resting' will be pretty common throughout the season, so there will be some opportunities there. With this signing, is getting under the tax still a thing for the FO? Seems pretty difficult to pull-off at this point (or at the deadline).
Other news from the camp? How many times have you heard the "I gained 15lbs of muscle" claim? I hope my boy Clarkson worked on his passing
Regarding Shaq, that injury was a well-kept secret. Must be a nagging injury that scared some GMs off, specially in a condensed season. People here was wondering why he was available all this time.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is a good question, one I hope Tony can comment on. But I hope the League recognizes that it's going down a dangerous path if it does this. It's got to know that coverage drives interest.
This makes a lot of sense now. I knew something was up when he remained unsigned for this long. Things aren't always as simple as they seen. Thanks for the great insight!

Any word if he’s going to be available to begin the season?
