What's new

Pierce, Kemba, Utah

Favors at this point is worth 2X as much as Love. I would be very disappointed if we end up with Love at all.
I’m just the messenger.

There’s a couple of ways to get to a max salary slot if the Jazz can convince someone to buy in to coming to Utah.

If they want to open a slot AND keep Favors, it’s a little more tricky but still possible.

The hard part is getting a legit star to want to come play for the Jazz.
 
I love how people are still wanting to get Conley when he blatantly said he does NOT want to come here
 
Pretty sure when his agent says he doesn't want to play in Utah. Pretty much means he talked to his agent and said I'm not playing there

Then conley came out to the media and said that wasnt true.

He took a long term team friendly contract once before. I think he would take a four year averaging 14 million over 2 years at 19 million somewhere else to stay with the Jazz. It certainly is not out of the question. Is someone going to pay Favors 20 million over 4 years?

I think Favors is pretty much a Jazz man until he retires assuming he so chose. Provided Utah doesn't low-ball him or disrespect him as a man, I'd be okay with that. He takes care of business and gives Utah so many options game wise. Not to mention he's also won more than a few games for us. Statue this man.
 
Charlotte beat the raptors last night. Kemba had 29, 8, and 6. 11-18 shooting.

so what did you expect him to say with a bunch of reporters in his face? in this PC society and league you really expected him to say "fluck the jazz not playing there " ??? And he avoided saying "I'd play in Utah". He just said that he'd play anywhere. That's a stock PC answer to me.

I'm pretty much on board with all of this. I think he will stick around for his whole career.

I do disagree on the statue thing. The guy has been solid but never became the All Star many expected. Our team finally started making the playoffs again the more he took a lesser role. He's a good company man and we could give him the jersey maybe, but statues are reserved for legends.

Fair enough.

Agree about the statue thing and think he probably said it tongue in cheek. It's just something people say. I hear that jingles should get a statue as well from people and I'm sure they are joking.
The reasons Stockton and Malone got statues are obvious and no one since them has deserved one or even came close.

Donovan and Rudy might get there some day but even they are unlikely. I hope they get to that legendary level obviously.

I figured as much, but people get pretty carried away. Just wanted to get it out there lol...

I think Gobert and Mitchell could get statues down the road. Gobert should get another DPOY and All NBA this year. Mitchell has a bright future with accolades already.

Ya Mitchell and gobert have the talent and probably will get the accolades to get there.
But they need to stay healthy, play here for like 15 years, and get some finals appearances as well.

So saying he didn’t say something is evidence that he did say something now?

Don’t tell me what you think if I tell you the earth is round.

Did his agent say it? From what I remember about the story, some talking head said it on a radio show.

I'm not discounting the talking head got it from his agent or Conley or whoever, but that's a far cry from him blatantly saying it.
 
It was reported by Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein. Once asked about it, both Mike Conley and his agent (who is his father) denied any such rumors.

His agent/father said he first saw that on the internet. He never said, nor indicated, to anyone that Conley doesn't play for Utah or any other team, according to him.
