Conley wants to resign. “Utah’s got me.”

Sounds like he’d give the jazz a discount the way he talks about the team. He knows Utah is the best situation for him, wish Hayward realized this before it was too late.

What is the most amount that we can offer him this summer?

Clarkson's deal was the steal of the century.

Seriously though, does retaining his bird rights require giving him an extension? Or can we just start a whole new contract from scratch?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

So say we give him a two year deal starting at 15M... that means we are paying about 45M in tax next year... the year after it gets really ugly. 15M is likely a discount... I don't think you get him for less than that is he stays healthy. Could see a team like NY or another bottom feeder coming with a bigger one or two year offer. Might also see really enticing taxpayer MLE offers from the Lakers. I don't think he'd go that route.

I don't think we can make a trade this season, but this offseason I think you will see either Mike walks, Bojan is traded for less or no salary, Favs is moved for less or no salary.

We can give him whatever deal he wants this offseason. We can't extend him right now for less than like 27M a year which is way too high imo.

Bare minimum you got to give him something like 50 million over 3 years to come in with a respectful offer.

 

[Gameface]

If he likes it here so much why is he thinking about resigning?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Most important piece of info is that his wife is down to stay.

This was a given. Smith and Mike are besties from even before he bought the team.

Jazz have to be careful. They could be in it with Bogey and Conley past their prime for a ton of $$$$
