Off-season 2020 Conley Trade Ideas

Conley's going nowhere. He will definitely opt in on the money. We lose another season. He leaves for nothing.

For Snell? Like wtf. Lmfao.

I haven't run the numbers, but that would possibly get us under the cap, which could make us players in free agency, say, for Christian Wood.

On the flip side, the Pistons only substantive pitch to keep Wood is that they can pay him because they will be under the cap (they didn't have his Bird Rights).

I don't think we can get under the cap... under the tax far enough to use full MLE. I would say we get Wood in that deal as a sign and trade addition. Detroit makes a run at the 2015 playoffs with Mike Conley and Blake Griffin. Everyone wins!

Tobias is also quite a bit younger, a more-believable 4, a somewhat better defender, and a better playmaker (higher rate of assists per possession, higher percentage of assists while on the floor, and less than a season removed from being one of the best ball handling 4s in the PnR in the league). All of those things matter, especially if we're to finally embrace making Donovan our "1" and stop dragging our feet.

Bojan is playing out of his mind but I will be stunned if he is playing like this in two seasons. Of course this is not really on the table but I would pull the trigger and look at moving Bojan to shed salary.

Back to the more believable scenario (Conley + stuff for Horford + stuff): I would've done it earlier this season and I believe it could've happened. Having Horford already here gives the Jazz some security if they indeed decided to move Gobert, so I see some of that redundancy as a potential strength rather than a weakness.

I agree with most of this. He hasn't looked great in Philly this year so it kinda made me wonder if he's a guy that scores more on mediocre teams and we may not get the LAC version of Harris.

Although... seeing what we got out of Bojan I wonder if Quin could help Harris put it together more often. The dude is a worker so he may continue to improve.

We would get something closer to the LAC version since we have a more egalitarian system, could use his ballhandling/playmaking, and the lane is less clogged. Still think the fit would be Just about perfect.

It's not really the points, to me, it's the shooting percentage both from 2 and 3 which are basically career lows.

Not really. 37.6% from 3 is pretty decent and a hair above his career average. His floater game went down the drain though

BTW, is anyone else hoping to watch a "Mike Conley resurrection" during the playoffs or it's just me?

Kinda the best thing that could come from the playoff... that and Rudy and DM making up and looking like a duo that wants to stay together and play for each other.

How's about this... Conley and Bojan for Harris and Richardson... add in what you need to salary wise to make it work. Gives them the combo forward shooter, on the ball playmaker, and alleviates some long term salary strain. We get a better combo forward? Certainly will have more production due to being younger than Bogey... fits with Rudy, DM timeline better. We also get a perimeter defender that may bolt in a year but - DM, Richardson, Ingles, Harris, Rudy looks pretty balanced... Royce, Richardson, or Ingles could come off the bench. I'd just want Ingles on the floor with Rudy as much as possible.
 
I’d be really surprised if he’s moved. Honestly, what team would want him at 34 million? Okc to get out of Paul’s contract? Cavs to get out of Loves contract? Philly to get out of hortfords contract?

I don’t want to go there but I only see Conley being moved if.......we moved Mitchell. Hope we don’t!!

Mitchell/Conley/Davis for lavine/young/markenden/Satoransky. The new GM of the Bulls gets an All Star in Mitchell and a foundation piece to put with White, Carter, plus cap space after Conleys deal expires.

Utah will have one of the deepest teams in the NBA.
 
We've been over this a gazillion times. The ONLY trade that makes any kind of sense for the Jazz is for CP3. If that's not happening (and it is most likely not) then there is nothing to talk about.

The chance that Mike Conley figures it out here is a far better return than anything in any other realistic trade. Period. We are trying to be f****** great. Not average.

Conley wasn't even our main roster problem this year. The bench was. Clarkson no doubt helped but we still have issues there.We need a more versatile backup 4/5 pairing. Niang and Bradley just aint gonna get it done. They are each so limited in what they provide that it's painful.

Mitchell/Rudy/Bogey are good enough to be the top 3 on a champion if Mitchell takes another step forward in progression and it's a reasonable expectation that he will. We're basically asking Conley to be our 4th, 5th maybe even 6th best player. If we think reasonably and not just on the recency bias of this season alone I think logic will lead us to believe that the odds are good that he can do that.
