Jazz really like Exum. More than a late 1st or Crowder. They kept him and he was the sticking point before. They also keep Favors which is big. Not only is Favors good but he is also a good contact and player to have at the trade deadline if a good player pops up then.

Another 20+pt scorer. Something we've all said we needed. Imagine having that against Houston instead of forcing Ingles and Rubio to be that second guy. This takes the pressure off of everybody.

Slight overpay, but here's the key: The Jazz maintain the capability to generate a Max slot at the drop of a hat.
Perhaps they're going all in this year.

Do we know the 2nd first was the sticking point? Maybe Memphis was more willing to play ball now.
OR, we have better clarity on what our FA alternatives would be and the Conley deal suddenly became significantly more attractive.

**** the all star game, **** the selection process, **** the fan vote, and **** anyone who believes that a selection is a meaningful metric for anything.
Conley is a great point guard in an age saturated by them.

Price was steeper than I wanted... DL and Dante’s mom will be the last guys on Exum Island... all other tourists died of the swine flu.

I'm glad it didn't involve Royce or Favors. I think 2 draft picks is a lot, but if the jazz stay healthy those picks wont be super valuable. I'll be looking to see who else the jazz can add this offseason. Hopefully, they can add some young players through free agency to be excited about.
The biggest thing everyone is mad about is two picks in the 20’s?

People keep talking about Conley like he's a 20+ ppg guy. He WAS, and now we have to hope he still will be. However, the dude will be 32 years old when the season starts and has had injuries in his career. His production could drop off quick.

Oh wow! We traded the #23 in a ****** draft. BOOOO!!
And we traded Grayson Allen, who is bad. The dude can't play defense. C'mon.
The only bummer is Crowder, but he's replaceable. Pick up Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, even if he can't shoot. And apparently the Jazz like Georges.
Simply put, Conley makes the Utah Jazz a title contender for the next two years. That's worth giving up what we did. Shots like this are few and far between, and Conley fits perfectly. He's a good shooter, a great leader, a good defender, he plays tough and smart. He's perfect for Snyder. Look what Snyder did with Rubio for petes sake. We're a legit top 5 NBA team with this roster and people are bitching. Idiots.
Fwiw, very small chance Conley opts out of this contract. He's gonna be 32/32...who's gonna give him a bigger contract?

Speaking for myself, lots of things.
Harris, Russell, a stretch 4, kemba, Conley...... Seems that we could have had Conley for less at the deadline last season though and then had him for the playoffs last year. Oh that's another thing I want. To have beaten the rockets in the playoffs a few months ago. Conley probably would have got us there and we wouldn't have Exum and probably still have a draft of the in 2022.

Another thing to consider for all those that thought we over paid... what else was on the table for Memphis? I think multiple teams were offering up the kitchen sink to get him. I think jazz may have been the big winner

Perhaps we can still trade up in the second round and get someone we like. It seems lots of players we worked out will be available. Walter Perrin suggested that.

Don't be so sure. Why do you think Derek was kept out? We can still create one by waiving him and releasing our holds. I believe that's about 32.8 total. A small deal (Lakers are looking for 2nds after all) ensures it.
