Excellent suggestion dude.
He was already signed through next season and we gave him a one year extension, so his contract now doesn't expire until after the 2021-22 season, which will be a year after Conley and Gobert's expire.
Hornets receive: Dante Exum and Georges Niang
Jazz receive: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
The Hornets do it because they're going to let MKG walk in free agency this coming summer anyway. He's not in their current rotation because Borrega has opted to go with younger players, guys they've acquired since his arrival (his guys). They basically get a free two year trial to see if they can make something of Exum. Exum's contract doesn't bother them because they are capped out anyway and it expires the same time as their other massive contracts.
Jazz do it because MKG is an upgrade in Niangs minutes. MKG has been a very good plus/minus player most of his career and over most of that time he was a starter playing against other starters. For the Jazz he would be a bench player. He would give the Jazz a much needed boost athletically. He would give the Jazz another good wing defender. He finishes at the rim. He rebounds well for his size. He's active enough to get steals and blocks. He can't shoot anywhere near the level of Niang. That's the one drawback. But the Jazz as a team are #4 in 3 point percentage. They have enough shooting.
Just an idea. One I'm sure some would hate. But it looks like Mudiay has usurped Exum in the rotation. And it seems pointless to have Exum's salary sitting on the pine when our bench unit needs help. It's also hard to find a realistic trade involving Exum. So.

Doesn't he have a horrendous shot? Like Dante bad?
Probably worse. But maybe with his role, experience, and skillset, he is less of a risk and brings other things to the table. I was very low on MKG coming out of the draft and I haven't followed him, but I would think he'd be an upgrade over Dante, which is frankly hard not to be
This fascination with Taj Gibson makes very little sense to me. If he was on a one-year deal, then I could see the utility in his expiring contract. He shouldn't play next to Gobert and is he twice as good as Ed Davis, being 6' 8" and 34 years old or whatever?
I’m not a big proponent of moving Joe, and apparently there may be some restriction in doing so this season, but if 1) we insist he’s a bench guy and 2) he can be moved, then I think Ingles/Exum for Otto Porter (not sure why Chicago would do it) would be a move that puts us close. Great three point shooter. Good defender. Has the size to at least put a body on Kawhi and LeBron (more so than anyone we have). Has shown he’s been a decent rebounder in the past. Can start and close. Was also someone DL targeted before and we know how he gets tunnel vision.
