Jazz should probably keep Conley and trade Davis and a 2nd for a rebounding energy big who can play at the 4.

Aren't we out of 2nd round picks?

Sam Amick has an article in The Athletic "NBA Trade Big Board: 16(ish) players who could move before the deadline"
1. Drummond available. ATL could've had him if they included a 1st rounder. Boston and Dallas also looking for a big.
2. Chatter from Orlando that Aaron Gordon is available
3. Covington could be available with the Lakers being interested. Teague on an expiring also drawing interest
4. Marcus Morris drawing interest from several playoff teams
5. Kuzma is "no longer a firm part of their plans.
6. Evan Fournier will likely opt out. Might be too expensive for Orlando so they could move him to get something for him now.
7. Bogdan Bogdanovic. "It will take a lot to land him, but they might be more willing to listen if the postseason seems out of reach early next month."
8. Gallinari. Thunder could either go for the playoffs or wheel and deal if the price is right on Schroder, Adams, Gallo, CP3
9. Jrue Holliday. Griffin claims he's not trading him. Pels might actually look to add a vet and go for the playoffs with Zion
10. Kevin Love. Teams apprehensive to pay him 3yr/90mil after this season. Blazers are the name that comes up most often
11. DeRozan. Spurs listening to offers. Teams reluctant to trade for him since he could opt out and move on after this season
12. LaMarcus Aldridge. More moveable than DeRozan since he has one year left.
13. Kyle Lowry. " It might sound obvious, but it all depends on how badly said suitor might want him. And with free-agent-to-be Fred VanVleet seen by so many as the Raptors’ point guard of the future, uncertainty remains here."
14. Iguodala. "The Grizzlies, who are clearly comfortable with Iguodala staying away from the team while earning his $17 million this season, have been stubbornly asking for a first-rounder in any such deal for quite some time now. If they don’t trade him by the deadline and agree to a buyout, then he’s widely expected to make his way to either the Lakers, Clippers or Rockets. But that’s still a major 'if.'"
15. D'Angelo Russell. "A source with knowledge of the Warriors’ thinking deems it “unlikely” that he will be moved. And for those Magic fans who have been hoping for a Gordon-for-Russell swap, another source with knowledge of the Warriors’ dealings offered a hard “no” when asked specifically about that scenario."
16. Davis Bertans. Washington doesn't want to move him. "So, why is this still a thing? Because Bertans’ breakout as one of the league’s most prolific shooters is the kind of thing that could lead to the Wizards getting a deal they can’t refuse." Washington, Philadelphia, Atlanta, the Lakers, Boston and Denver have all shown interest in Bertans.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that the Jazz would discuss LMA and DeRozan with the Spurs, but I don't think either team would make the move.

How would you match either salary?

How would that square with Snyder’s offense of spacing and shooting? LaMarcus doesn’t help fill the void Favors left and neither helps with 3 pt. shooting

They'd discuss Conley and a protected pick probably. LMA or DD + Mills or Poeltl. I don't think either team would pull the trigger. The thinking would be to keep the ball in Mitchell and Ingles' hands more. Another debate would be how much LMA can play next to Gobert in a big lineup.
Spurs are probably going to lose DeRozan in free agency and they'll pivot to play their young guys.

As much as I haven’t been a fan of him or his play, he is in one of the top two five-man rotations in the entire NBA with at least 200 minutes this season.
That has to count for something.
If Quin can figure out the rotations once Mike comes back, we could end up perhaps scarier than we even realize.

And having to watch that face every game. Seriously the whinny *** faces he makes drive me crazy. That said, I'd get over it. He looks like an upgrade to Conley to me.
This is a guard dominated league. A mobile guard like Mike who can hit 3s is dangerous, even if he never really runs the offense. That said, $32M is a lot to pay for a floor-spacing guard.

How floor spacing is he really? Are we gonna get 32.5% or 37.5%? But in general, I agree. Once we bring him back, we have a legit seven players. Quote legit.
Ed Davis and a 2nd or two for one more would be magical.
After Pop retires. Until then they'll keep trying to be competitive.
I'd like to see Brantley play along with our varsity players and play in games that matter. He's coasting a bit on the Stars right now.
If we were offered Conley for LMA and even if the pick went from San Antonio to us, I still wouldn’t do that. Playing LMA at the 4 may even be worse than playing Conley at the 4.
