Conley hamstringing again

You’re delusional. Ricky was better for Rudy. Ricky knew how to find and play with Rudy. The problem was he couldn’t shoot at all and it allowed the collapses on Donovan. The Jazz knew they had to get another ball handler and shooting around Donovan to alleviate him. Now that pressure relief valve is sitting on the bench and taking up $30 million in cap space. The Jazz absolutely built around both of them with Donovan front and center in their mind. Saying they didn’t is pure blindness. PS Donovan’s a big part of that bad defense on the wings you’re speaking of. Donovan is 24, if he wants to be elite elite do what Kawhi Leonard does and play something that resembles average defense for most of the game.

I'm not arguing with you just to argue - I simply disagree with you.

When we pursued Conley, it was after Don had two straight years of having to carry the offensive load in the playoffs. He was the primary ball handler and scorer. We lacked shooters to spread the floor for him and Rudy.

Then we used a ton of assets for Conley.
1. Conley is a primary ball handler, true PG.
2. He has never been a spot up shooter.
3. Most could argue he's a worse defender than Rubio.

Conley's success in the NBA was with Gasol and never alongside a great SG. Conley's best years were actually alongside a pass first defensive beast in Tony Allen.

Conley wasn't brought in for Donovan. He was brought in to make our team better. I think he did that, or at least a combination of him and Bojan, for the regular season at least.

If we built around Don, we would have traded for Jrue or somebody similar. The Conley deal was about Rudy.

I don’t have a tweet or anything but got a flash on my phone saying Kawhi Leonard is likely out of game five due to his knee

KD coming off Achilles surgery plays 48 minutes... creates everything... I’m sure he’d rather have sat 8 minutes and lost by 10 doe.

OTOH, KD _did_ come back from a calf injury early only to snap that achilles. I'm pretty sure he would've changed that decision if he knew the outcome.
 
So reporting now is that he’s out indefinitely and might have ACL injury. Doesn’t say it’s a tear or strain or what. Does this mean he’s done in this series regardless of how many games this goes?

If he has any kind of ACL injury, yes. Expect an MRI in the next 24 hours. Unless he's with the team tonight, then they'd do it in LA tomorrow.
