He's worth exploring and that 10 milly he's owed is good for the Jazz for trade purposes.
You are really insufferable. Everything has to black/white and right/wrong for you.

Jazz needed the right set of circumstances to get something for Conley in a trade. There wasn't much of a market for him, and the fact that the Jazz manufactured a market with the Twolves and got a lightly protected pick from the Lakers is pretty decent. Jazz read the landscape and got what they could. Vanderbilt is really only worth a late 1st or 2nds, as much as everyone speaks highly of him.
The only trade that I'd criticize is the Bojan trade, but the Jazz wanted to move him before training camp.
Sorry for muddying up the thread fellas. I’m done here.
If this was truly the case why not sell Clarkson for 5 2nds?
The Jazz didnt really manufacture anything.
They got lucky the Lakers wanted D'Lo and they got lucky the Wolves were OK with taking Conley back.
It seems like Pelinka had DA bent over his knee tbh. DA talked a big game and the only reason he came out slightly positive was because the Wolves saved him (for a price).
With only 27 games remaining, it doesn't matter if the Lakers upgraded their roster. They're going to finish with 40 or 41 wins and barely make the play-in, at best. Meanwhile, we get to trade places with them in the draft order. And they gave us a nice FRP on top of it.
And I think DA made a mistake not selling someone like JC for 2nds.
2nds have value now that teams are really holding onto first, or actually dont have any because only 1/3rd of the NBA has tradeable first rounders.
Why not get a hoard of 2nd rounders and further the tank?

Clarkson is the only thing keeping the Jazz's culture and brand from becoming complete milquetoast.

no idea. i my opinion they should have. maybe they had compassion on Lauri and didn't want to leave him completely high and dry. perhaps they wanted to tank, but still be able to compete. maybe they like having him around for other reasons. who knows.
Ehh, they are 4.5 games out of the 6th seed and they have a pretty easy remaining schedule. I think they will get one of the advantageous play in spots at worst, 6th seed at best.
If they get a good deal on him in the off-season it will make sense. If they have to overpay for him or he just walks, it will be infuriating, especially if he is responsible for some extra wins.
