Does Conley have an ETO in his contract or not?

There's a lot of conflicting information and difference of opinions out there was whether Conley actually has an Early Termination Option in his contract or not after next season. Everything I see says he does (meaning he could leave the Jazz after 1 year). But others are adamant he does not.

Any information here as to if Conley is actually locked down for two years or not?
 
He does. Basketball insiders is the best with this information:

But read this line from that link:
  • "1/10/21 — Mike Conley’s $34,504,132 guarantees for 2020-21, unless he plays in 55 games in either the 2018-19 or 2019-20 seasons, which would lock in the 2020-21 salary sooner."
Conley played in over 55 games last season. Does that mean the salary is now locked in? That's where the confusion is coming from.

That a guarantee of full salary as opposed to a lower amount, not a termination option.

Yes, the salary is now locked in. The Spotrac link I provided specifically addressed that.
