If we were getting Conley, I think it would have happened by now.
Man, I was way off on this one....
If we were getting Conley, I think it would have happened by now.
I feel like our team needs another young player to get excited about. Somebody who we feel like is Donovan's wingman for the next decade.
I don't know who that is. Is is somebody we draft? Is it Russell? Randle? Rozier? Brogdon? Winslow? I don't freaking know. I just feel like we are at that place. Yes, Conley would be great for the next year to few years, but if we do what we've been doing in the 1st/2nd round, I think the fan base gets even more disgruntled and impatient.
I think we need an exciting splash, and I don't even know exactly who that would be.
I am now at the point that our current offer for Conley is our offer. I'm willing to pay that to get him. I wouldn't add anything more though. With all of the craziness going on, I now think we could get someone in free agency or another trade that will make us better. I like Conley, but not "future first" love him.
Right now Stein is reporting that we're offering two firsts for him. I agree that's too much and I'd rather go after guys in free agency
Trading 2 firsts for Conley would be the worst trade the Jazz have made in 10+ years. 32 year old non allstar on one of the largest contracts in the entire NBA. Also he could opt out after 1 year. Hard pass.

2 ****ing first rounders and gave up allen instead of exum? WTF?
Wow, not sure how I feel about this. I think the Jazz are still a couple of years from really competing for the title, this trade doesn't help us compete in 2 years.
3 first round picks including the trash pick Greyson. That's how you ruin a team. The Jazz have now spent 5 first round picks in 6 years on rental point guards. Horrible gm work.

Allen and Crowder is too much. Korver + 2 picks + one of those should have been enough, especially given that Conley is on a monster deal, doesn't fit Memphis' direction, and Memphis is about to draft their new future PG in Ja Morant. Crowder was Utah's muscle and heart. Allen was part of Utah's potential. Give up one not both.
This thread is Gold...
When they hosed us over at the deadline the offer should have been much less than what we gave. Especially since they leaked those discussions and betrayed our trust... they made Ricky Rubio sad and they need to pay for that.
I just don't know who we were bidding against... even if we could have shifted the pick from last year into the 2020 draft (that sucks) and given them the 2022 pick that would have been better.
To get Clarke we would have needed to trade up, but let's say we did get Clarke and that was the guy they wanted... do we then get to save the other pick. We apparently didn't want to send Exum in the deal, but that should have been a salary they ate (they could have sent Jae too, and then we'd have had even more space... get Bogey, Mike, and a better 4/5).
I didn't need this today.
where we were, who we already had, and what we gave up.
It's not even Conley's trade that I'm mad about any more. Even though we significantly overpaid to get him.
To make the matter worse, we made terrible selections in the FA with our money.
Everyone was crying for Wood and Holmes in trade thread but they were all available as FA back in July. But we decided to sign two washed old dudes that nobody now even want on their roster.
I think what we’ve learned is that this year’s 1st rounder needs to stick. We need some legit youth.
I'm prettt sure we didn't need to give Memphis 2 first rounders + Grayson Allen, our first round selection a year ago, to get Conley. We acted like we were the one that was desperate to deal while in reality, Memphis wasI think what we’ve learned is that this year’s 1st rounder needs to stick. We need some legit youth.
