Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Also, Conley averaged 17-9 on 54% from 3 in the Memphis series...

He averaged 20-5 in the Nuggets series on 53% From 3.

He had his first bad series with Utah this past year (the entire team did, so maybe it was more macro related than anything to do with any singular individual). He made a huge difference in the two series he was healthy for. If he was healthy in the Clippers series and carried over his performances from the Grizzlies series even like half-way, the Jazz would have made it to the WCF.

Criticize his health all you want, but the dude was a huge difference maker when he played.
Cute stats.

We had a better record when Conley sat against Denver than when he played. Where is that stat?

He scored 21 points on 7/13 from the field 4/6 from three with 6 assists in one of the losses. That loss is on him?
 
I’m sure others have mentioned it, but it’s getting to the point that we begin scratching our heads regarding Ayton not landing somewhere by now, right?

Why are you twisting my words? I never said the loss was on anybody. I simply said Conley didn't take us anywhere different than we had already been. The trade was a failure.
 
It sounds like Ayton to the Pacers, or at least the Pacers signing Ayton to a contract, seems like the most likely next big move that is being held up by Malcom Brogdon's physical.

It's extremely odd. From all that I've read, Indiana now has the space necessary to sign him to an offer sheet.

Only two teams have enough cap space to sign him. If you take him in a sign-and-trade you’re hard capped at the apron. He only counts as 50% outgoing salary from Phoenix. Couple all of that together it’s hard. Not a ton of options.

Indiana is best because they can take back more salary than sending out plus have a player who Phoenix can take back in trade that matches the 50% salary they’re sending out.
 
Probably this thing called small sample size.
2-2 without him
2-3 with him

Ask any team that has championship aspirations the following question - would you consider a trade a success if you trade a lot of assets if it meant getting the #1 seed but it also means you wouldn't advance out of the 2nd round of the playoffs?

No team with ambition counts those morale victories.
