Pretty impressive that this trade makes no sense for all 3 teams involved.View attachment 6711
Memphis receives Jazz 2019 1st and NOs 2019 2nd.
See what the bye out market looks like... add some smaller contracts.So how do the Jazz fill the other 2 roster spots? That’s awfully jazz heavy.
It’s Favors, Rubio, Crowder, Sefolosha and a 1st for Mirotic and Conley. Our depth takes a hit as well.

Lakers low balling NO for AD... super smart guis... AD really gonna wait two years to sign with the Lakers and 35 year old Lebron... eff the Lakers... bastards tamper then low ball. Assholes.

You nuked the starting PF/backup C, the backup PF, and the 3rd string PF for Mirotic which means the Jazz are playing Niang/Udoh as the backup frontcourt.Jazz get Conley and stretch 4 they've coveted.
NOs gets Crowder who would fit with Jrue and the peices they'll get for AD.
Memphis gets $30M expirings while getting a look at how Randle fits next to JJJnr.
Isn't it a win, win, win?
I’m actually liking what I’m seeing and I’d like to take a swing on Jabari but like to do it on the buyout market so we could keep him cheap next year if he plays well.
Last couple years he’s had Kidd... now Boylen. He might be ready to put stuff together in a competent organization.
Memphis wants more than two veterans who can walk in a few months, plus a pick in the 20s, sources say.
I think the time is to do it now.
If you are confident in your talent evaluation then you act before someone does it before you.
The talent is there. The biggest question mark is the health of his knee imo. So thats why you do it now. You test him out, while he is "cheap" asset wise, and see if he is worth the gamble of ever thinking about giving him any kind of lengthy contract. Getting him now is the least risky of all the ideas.
The more time you have to evaluate his fit and health the better. Waiting for the waivers is a risk too. You might never the chance to see.

NOLA gets Crowder and Favs but giving up Randle, Mirotic + their 2nd means they're awfully thin in the front court unless you consider Jahlil Okafor to be an actual rotation player (I don't), and I don't think you can make that trade assuming they get the right pieces back from the AD trade. Favs is also an expiring so unless you're confident in him re-signing he just walks, which might be nice for NOLA to save some money but then you're ultra thin in the frontcourt.
MEM are basically only getting a late 1st and a 2nd since Rubio/Thabo are expirings that they likely don't re-sign, and Randle isn't a controlled asset and has a player option so unless you're ultra confident you can get Randle to re-sign with you he's likely just another expiring too who walks to a contending team in the offseason.
Do not trade Favors, Rubio, a first, and/or Exum/Allen for Mike. That is robbery and we would be way worse [/QOUTE]
I think Conley is overrated. He definitely is overpaid. Making a trade for him would be a bad move imo.
I would love to get Jrue though. Otherwise, we really should just put Donovan at the 1 and make a different move like Niko or Jabari.
It’s official. I’m in. This is like a cosmic guarantee that this deal is good for us and will get us to that next level.
Wow, this was a very informative and interesting article. Thanks.
I’ve been holding out hope for two deals. But it appears one is max and then some possible move this off season.
I don't really want to trade Favors in the Conley deal unless Utah is positive they could use their MLE on someone like Robin Lopez or DeAndre Jordan in the buyout market and that seems pretty unlikely...
