Jazz front runner for Conley

If we were getting Conley, I think it would have happened by now.
sign whoever we can sign in FA then come back mid-season with better assets and wait for the right opportunities. we are just not in a winning position for any kind of trade talks right now. NOT AT ALL.

plus I'm sure we'd still be in the playoffs mix by then with the existing roster.
 
No, Memphis and Utah would be holding out til the last day to shake down the final offer.

Why? If it's a draft trade that includes #23, I think it would be done by now. Memphis doesn't want anything we have outside of draft picks.

If anything, it might happen because our weak offer is the best offer they can get. Still seems like more chatter than I have ever heard for a Jazz trade that actually happened.
 
Kyle Lowry is 33 How'd he do earning his contract in the finals ??

Next to all world Kawhi, perennial all star Gasol, up and coming Siakim, on fire VanVleet, very solid Ibaka, and experienced Danny Green, he looked really good.
 
Exactly Boozer decent with LeBron Memo was a role player with Detroit winning the title so no not elite. The league would laugh at this statement of those 2 being considered elite. Joe Johnson was washed up by the time he got here but had enough in the tank to help us beat the clippers in 7

Boozer was on the USA basketball team when he signed. He became available late, otherwise he would have been highly sought after. Also, he WANTED Utah and took no other meetings.
 
Again I'm not trying to debate or argue. I'm just saying we have to put all our chips in to win now. There is a negative cycle In Utah. Draft a prospect then they leave when their deal expires. Trade for players or sign older or non impactful players.

How do we change this ? Get someone like Conley to help the core we have to get to the next level.
another one-dimensional person.

do you want me to look up memo or Booz's first year stats with the Jazz for you? Haven't those guys contributed for us right away?

if you can't sign KD or Kawhi, doesn't mean you need to turn to the Neto, Niang, or any other "non-impactful players" as a result. FA are full of players who can both make positive impacts to this team RIGHT NOW while having rooms to develop in the future.

Mitchell and Gobert can wait. they are 22/26. it's not like they are 32/36 or leaving next year.

No, not true at all. Kevin Oconnor saw him on the waver wire, IMMEDIATELY called his agent and offered a big contract that they couldnt say no to. No one else had a chance to call before they took the offer

So he played well or no ???

He had good moments especially Game 6. However, he wasn't relied on every single game to play great. Lots of times, he sat due to foul trouble or not playing that well.

If we got Conley, we would need for him to be a stud every game because we don't have the incredible depth Toronto has and we lack the necessary top end talent too.

Conley would look great next to the dynamic and up and coming Mitchell, the all worldly defensive presence and rim threat of Gobert, the jack of all trades Ingles, the dogged defender O'Neale, the reliable Crowder ...

Read my previous post about their stats prior to coming here. My point is that Quin and his crew will make the most of what players are here we have seen that.

Other than the conley trade do you really see the likes of Russell, Tobias , Brogdon coming to sign here ?

We are going around in circles here my friend. Donovan needs help, Rudy want to win now, if we don't get them help they will leave too. If we can't sign them we need to trade for them. That's all I'm saying. Leave Boozer and Memo In the past they aren't helping us now.

Yep Conley is pesky and can get really aggressive. This will add a much needed spark that is desired. Our team needs this rejuvenation

1. Gobert is a UFA in two years
2. The path to the finals looks wide open right now
3. Our 3rd best/most important player IS old and will fall off at some time. When that happens, this team will definitely feel it.
