Stop showing everyone your whole ***.If we trade Exum and 2 1st rounders for Conley, it's going to be as bad as Brooklyn trading 3 first rounders for Paul Pierce.
We don’t have to have the salary to match, and they probably wouldn’t want any salary anyway. In short, that would be up to the Grizzlies.If we got Conley, could we grab Aminu with the MLE?
So what would you like to see the front office do? Who can they realistically add that will improve the team more than Conley? Their biggest fee agent acquisition over the last 10 plus year was an old, way past his prime Joe Johnson. Utah isn't and never will be a free agent destination. We also have very few trade assets so we aren't going to be able to acquire the Kawhi Leonard's or Anthony Davis's of the NBA that instantly make you a championship contender.
I completely disagree. I think we could get a Russell. Or a Randle. Or others.

If we can pick him up and only give up a 1st and keep everyone important then I'm all about this deal. I would prefer Russell but this could be good. That's assuming we keep Favors who is a big boost to our team and plays well with Gobert when our PG can shoot. Plus is a good trade chip if we go that route later. An experienced expiring big with a reasonable salary is great to have. Even just for the money aspect to pick up another good player.
That's assuming we use our mle on someone solid as well.
We'd be exchanging Exum for something we value highly: flexibility.Also silly that people want to dump Exum for nothing. I'm happy to trade him if we get something we want back but dumping him is silly.
Okay so lets assume your right and he makes the jazz much, much, better. It is still pretty wishful thinking that he makes the Jazz championship caliber better, after all very few players have that ability to change a franchise like that. What is the upside? Year two hes a year older on an expiring deal, hes not getting better, and the jazz aren't adding anyone else... The Jazz get worse again in two years when he leaves, but they have money to spend again! yipee... status quo
I prefer Exum by a decent amount. I would rather be over the cap anyways so we can use our MLE and keep Exum.We'd be exchanging Exum for something we value highly: flexibility.

Most of this myth. The Jazz have been worse with Gobert and Favors sharing the floor over the last two years by -5 vs Gobert with a stretchy not-very-good player (Thabo, Sefolosha, Jae, Jerebko, etc).If we can pick him up and only give up a 1st and keep everyone important then I'm all about this deal.

Not when a shooting PG is with them.Most of this myth. The Jazz have been worse with Gobert and Favors sharing the floor over the last two years by -5 vs Gobert with a stretchy not-very-good player (Thabo, Sefolosha, Jae, Jerebko, etc).
It is a bad fit. Period. Either he comes off the bench for the MLE or less (not happening and not fair to him) as a 5, or you just shake hands and let the man walk.
With all lineups. Gobert with Favors is still positive, but not nearly as positive as Gobert and a “4” that can shoot.Not when a shooting PG is with them.
John and Karl were 20 freaking years ago... It's like I'm taking crazy pills, are we the browns? status quo... The Jazz have to get better and still maintain the ability to get better year after year- I dont think Conley offers that.you really don't think there is an upside to getting better even if it doesn't mean a championship? We have two statues of players that never brought a title. Being a Jazz fan in 97 and 98 was glorious (until Dick Bavetta...) Getting better matters, and it's fun. Getting better for two years while Donovan develops and we continue building a core. I'm in.
This is the best year in the history of the NBA to chase free agents. There have never been so many quality players out there. Half of the league is a free agent. What's crazy is that only 13 or 14 teams actually have max cap space. If you look at all the dominoes falling right now, we are one of the few teams with max space who can go after Russell, Randle, and even sign a guy like Brogdon to an offer sheet.
There is a first time for everything. We gotta try. Summers like this don't happen often. We have a good group of guys, a future star, a great defensive center and max money. And, we can recruit guys telling them they will be the 2nd offensive option. That's huge.
