I think Utah is stuck with Conley. I don’t think anyone wants a guy getting older with diminishing skills making that much money. The only chance I see is if Phoenix is forced to take him in order to get Durant.Regardless, we gotta trade Conley. Teams I see as possible:
Dallas - they could use him with Brunson's departure. Since they added Wood, could Dallas trade us two of Powell, Kleber and Bullock?
NOLA - Conley would improve that team. They could trade us expirings Nance and Temple plus a young player like Lewis or Hayes and add a 1st.
Cleveland - something for Love or LeVert

Well, lol if you were some gm for another team, would you want to give up assets to take on a player that’s older and clearly a shell of what he once was making allstar money?
I think Conley helps a bunch of teams, but yes he's overpaid. But like the trades I mentioned, Conley helps Dallas. He helps NOLA. Cleveland.Well, lol if you were some gm for another team, would you want to give up assets to take on a player that’s older and clearly a shell of what he once was making allstar money?
This makes no sense to me considering you think trading for him ruined the jazz chances which I agree with.I think Conley helps a bunch of teams, but yes he's overpaid. But like the trades I mentioned, Conley helps Dallas. He helps NOLA. Cleveland.
Completely different argument though.This makes no sense to me considering you think trading for him ruined the jazz chances which I agree with.
He was worth it at the time of the transaction, but his skills have now deminished to the point he’s not worth what he’s being paid. Teams are not going to want him, also how much more cooked will he be when the year starts. It’s not worth the gamble in my opinion if I’m looking at it in the eyes of a gm.We emptied the asset cupboard for him when we should have paid less.
I just don't agree on either point.He was worth it at the time of the transaction, but his skills have now deminished to the point he’s not worth what he’s being paid.

He was pretty good during the season. He used to get killed around here and have threads dedicated to hating on him but not a lot last season. Unfortunately he was absolutely worthless when we needed him the most but so was Don, Bogey and Rudy for the most part. The team as a whole was disinterested and terrible.He was worth it at the time of the transaction, but his skills have now deminished to the point he’s not worth what he’s being paid.

Obviously he was overpaid, but in the eyes of the jazz they saw him as a he’s to the puzzle that could help them contend, so it was worth it to them in that regard he had just come off the best season of his career.I just don't agree on either point.
It's questionable if Conley was worth $35 million a year much less a proven starter, two 1st round draft picks and a player with potential. We paid too much and eventually cost us Rudy.
Some GMs likes Conley, but they don't have the assets we want.

Don’t force anything if there isn’t something good there. Worst case his contract is partially guaranteed. If we trade Don… we have oodles of cap space already to add bad contracts and get picks.If we’re rebuilding then I think Conley is actually a great piece to keep around. Gotta build good culture or at least keep the pilot light on.
I also think he could significantly rehab his value for an in-season trade.
He was never worth it. He was a terrible fit with Mitchell from a size standpoint and age didn't fit with the timeliness to compete. It turned a 7yr window into a 2 yr window while making us asset poor and tiny in the backcourt.He was worth it at the time of the transaction, but his skills have now deminished to the point he’s not worth what he’s being paid.

Will be tough for him to get more for the more valuable player.Also, don’t be surprised if things take time with Clarkson or any of the other players since it kinda feels like Ainge broke the market. I’m still in awe. That was a Celtics/Nets haul for one guy everyone ***** on.
