Conley Officially a Jazzman

[Miggs]

We’re a 55-56 win team right now. Maybe better.

Absolutely. If he plays to anything resembling what he played last year he is opting out of that 35M because someone in the league will give him 3/90 or something of the sort and it's absolutely worth it for him to get that final big payday(look at Horford as reference, same age, similar contract... opted out and will get paid... Conley will get paid too if he plays well this season). Keep in mind next year's FA class is horrible and Conley very likely will be the 2nd or 3d best FA. It's AD, Draymond and then the best FAs are Drummond, Derozan, Gallo... Lowry... Otto Porter...

If Conley is worth that contract, then great, the Jazz are a Finals contender.

Pretty surprised Memphis didn't push for Royce - he seems like their kind of player.

Very happy Utah is keeping him.

Love the trade - the clock is ticking on Mitchell's rookie deal. The Jazz had to bring in talent ASAP.

Best post I've seen today. Keeping Royce was HUGE! If Exum pans out and O'Neale keeps improving, this team is amazing. Now we just need to add a bunch of depth at SF and PF.

No chance Utah gives up Royce in almost any deal. For what he does on that contract? Nope. Royce will be Jazz man for a while yet.

He's signed for two more years...

He's got player option for next year and if he plays well he will opt out in order to get one final big contract.

I wouldn't be surprised if Exum and Favors are gone next in an effort to position themselves into FA pickup.

Now that would be a move I would approve.

We need one more piece, and we have flexibility with space and Favors' deal to make another move.

You think Conley is going to turn down a $30M option at age 32/33 ?

Horford just did...

No
You said the front office likes them. Which is stating the obvious.

I was asking if we (the posters on this site) want Exum and favors.

Seems like a vast majority (like 90%) would have loved to get rid of Exum for about anything or anyone over the last few months.

Favors was more even but many many posters have stated that he doesn't fit and should be gone. You should know this since I have seen you argue the other side with many people

We has many meanings. You didn't specify. Often fans use we as in the team. You could have meant anything by that.

Regardless I answered what you wanted in the next response. So problem solved.

Most importantly, Utah announcing this trade 2 and a half weeks before it can become official leads me believe they plan on making additional deals up through free agency - much like NJ trading Crabbe and AD to LAL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Exum and Favors are gone next in an effort to position themselves into FA pickup.

Exum's trade value is at an all-time low. There's really no reason not to see if he can contribute next year.

No way Horford will get paid anywhere close to what he left on the table.
