Agreed I tell my son he’s being a butthole when he’s really being an ***... it’s more pg13 and has a somewhat endearing term.

Plus I feel like *** hole is just another term for jerk.

Butthole conjours up an image of the chocolate starfish itself. Which is much worse than being called a jerk

He is. Its going to be hard for both franchises and players if it goes down. And the pressure on Conley will be sky high.

Doubt that. Utah is a very forgiving place to play and players tend to experience renaissances when they take the court for Utah. That's why aside from losing Rubio, I am kinda intrigued by the deal.

There is so much emotion on both sides of this Conley/Rubio deal. I'm personally finding it harder and harder to get behind it.

It's a good article. But it actually makes me want Conley more. A guy who cares that much and tries that hard is a good guy to put next to this young roster. That he's also a better player than Ricky while having all that makes it a sure thing that I want to acquire him.
 
Gary Harris has had some injury issues as well as underperforming this year. Thats probably why he is available. I do like Harris, but there might be something behind it.

Dodged a bullet. Now just need to dodge the Conley bullet.

Then we trade for Jabari.

Your want to dodge Conley but sign Parker? You really are clueless. Pretty sure you are just a troll. No way you are a jazz fan with these hot takes.
 
I got a better nights sleep. I think im ready to move onto the acceptance stage of grief over this Conley trade.

Now that the Clippers are sellers do the jazz have a chance to aquire anything there? Or does it influence Conley asking price?
 
I kinda feel like our goose is cooked. Now free agency is irrelevant. I’ve kept saying get what you can get when you can get it, because the landscape changes quick. My assumption is we don’t get Conley and we take the “grass is always greener in the future” approach and end up having to re-up our same guys.

I’d be looking to move for Niko, Jabari, Lou Williams, and Beverley.

No, it happens when you use 5 draft picks (2 for Burke, then Exum, Hill and Rubio) trying to get a PG and end up with one who can't shoot consistently and one who hasn't proven much except in the eyes of a few staunch homeboys. It also happens when you sell pick after pick instead of finding a few rotation players in the 2nd round. It happens when you have a ton of cap space year after year but don't sign any free agents that could later be tradeable assets. Don't blame Hayward. I hate the guy, but a lot saw that coming. And very few GM's arrange for trade exceptions when they're about to sign free agents.

The blame is squarely on the back of Lindsey for wasting a ton of assets, for not doing a proper rebuild by keeping Utah in the late lottery for all but the Exum pick. And for keeping Utah at or near the bottom for payroll for 4 years running. And this past summer...had a chance to use the MLE. But instead signed Niang who is not a prospect. And instead of getting Niko, kept the pick and drafted Allen, who also has pretty much zero trade value.

This is a good assessment. The jazz motto is "slow and steady is fiscally sound".
