Jazz front runner for Conley

Whether we do the deal or not, I just hope we don’t let Memphis string us along until the last second like we did at the deadline. Give ‘em a hard deadline and tell them to **** right off if we don’t have a deal by a set time on Tuesday or Wednesday so we don’t lose out on other potential deals with the pick.

No, it is defitely about if we could with FAs that upgrade our roster. We are not just ignoring players that improve us. Just because its not announced does not mean the FO is doing their due diligence. They are very active.

Yes, Bucks have picked up through FA or trades some really good players. They have big names a solid roster. They then filled in the starting center with a good player that wanted to start. It was a great fit for both parties, unlike the Jazz that was a bad fit for both parties and neither side would consider it.

Conley is tradeable. Hence the trade market for him. That market will exist next year as well and the year after. Maybe it goes slightly down. But we also become a much better team. Which is the whole goal.

The Jazz are not making a trade like the Raptors did. They traded their best player for Kawhi. We were not going to trade Gobert or Mitchell for Kawhi. That is what it took to get a player like that. Other than that we should get the best players we can at the position we need the most. I am not sure what magical trade you are wanting us to hold out for that we cant make later.

Conley is a really good PG. Better than anyone we have had since Dwill.

We can pick up role players later if there is a need. Its much harder to get really good players than role players.

Conley doesnt handcuff the team. He opens up more options and makes us much better. He is a huge upgrade over Rubio.

If the Jazz won’t trade Mitchell or Gobert for a player like Leonard then they are dumb as rocks.

I like Conley and he would be great this season but I am tired of investing in short term solutions. I think we need to find the best younger PG that we can keep together for 4-5 years.

Normally I’d agree, but with how wide open the NBA is next year...you have to swing for the fences.
 
It's a move we have to make if its a reasonable deal. Yes, its going to sting a little. And yes it's not a perfect home run. And yes he could get injured.

But if we get him it should make us better, and we'd have a shot to compete with anyone. We really need to add a shooter too though.

You trade for Conley. Your starting five is: Conley, Mitchell, Someone (Ingles), Favors, Gobert.

Who is a 3/4 that can come off the bench that can shoot? And another guard that can shoot?
 
Getting Conley isn’t even the equivalent to getting Hornacek in the 90s. Horny wasn’t enough with 2 hall of famers and Conley ain’t even that. The jazz would be shackling themselves... dumb dumb dumb

That’s the big Jazz acquisition...

That is why we might have to make the tough decision and get rid of Favors for a shooting big.

He’s not as good as D-will was for us. So, I am still not convinced he’s a superstar. How many times do I have to say he’s a non all-star! He is the jazz status quo. **** Conley!

Your ignorance is showing and the more you post on this matter the more it gets revealed.
Obviously he isn't as good as DWill but where did I say he was ? I said since DWill he will be our best pg since. Do you analyze stats? I suggest you watch more basketball and read more articles on players/team's before you make foolish posts or comments. This forum is full of educated Basketball fans that are jazz scholars, you are not one of them. You are an NBA 2k video game fan. Conley says **** you too.
 
Has anybody disproved the scenario Andy Larsen floated?: keep both Favors and Exum while acquiring Conley through capspace by:

- waiving Neto
- waiving and stretching Korver
- trading Crowder and Allen to Memphis along with (presumably) pick #23

I know this would give Numberica a conniption, but I kind of like it. (Presumably Exum and Crowder could be swapped in the deal , but I'd guess the relative value of the players to the two teams might favor Crowder moving to Memphis.) I have no idea whether Memphis would value this, but it's a bold move that retains players the Jazz seem to have shown they value (for better or worse) and maintains the Jazz's defensive identity.

So you'd have:
Starters
Conley
Mitchell
Ingles
Favors
Gobert

Rotation
Exum (cross your fingers)
O'Neale
Niang (cross your fingers)
Room Exception FA

Deep Bench
Bradley
Rookie?
Several minimum guys (if the FA class is as deep relative to the available money as Lopo keeps saying it is, there ought to be players out there who can help, maybe even as a rotation player)

Unless I understand this wrong, the FA options are swapping Conley for (a chance to woo/get spurned by) Russell or Harris; and then retain Crowder, Allen, Neto, and #23 rather than Favors, with everything else being more or less similar. Since Allen, Neto, and #23 are likely deep bench, at least for next year, and can easily be replaced, it comes down to whether you prefer Crowder or Favors. I prefer Favors, but understand why some may not.
 
How are we even in a position where we’re discussing the merits of paying Exum and Favors close to a max cap slot of money.

but unrealistic wild swings in the dark that don't succeed when you could've had a sure thing ?? And then have to trade for Kevin Love ??

D-lo and Russell aren't unrealistic or in the dark though
