2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I'm team anti-Conley. The contract is hideous and a 6'1" PG won't age well in the NBA. Against a team like GS, we couldn't switch at all. There would be no one who could guard Klay, they would have him put up 30 shots on us.

Maybe that's the trick... Klay has kinda sucked this season.

*just joshing
 
If we trade for Conley, what if we also trade for Love? We’d be hot next year....... and those contracts could kill us.

Conley's contract expires before DM and Gobert's next contracts. If he does well, Utah may keep him for less, as he doesn't rely on athleticism, and perhaps add another borderline allstar. the luxury of having a rookie as the #1 option...

Love's contract is another story.

DM did a good job last time... we'd match up better with GS because now Curry has to defend either DM or Conley.

I don't build my team for one matchup though. The issue for me is we still need to hit on a pick or young piece to go with our core. Giving up the cap space is fine... multiple picks or prospects (exum/Allen) is tough.

Love may have the worst contract in the NBA... I'm not sure why people talk about that one like Cleveland wouldn't have to attach assets to move it.

What if Cleveland attached some “bites at the apple” that we can hit on?
 
Of course, the ideal scenario would be to go for someone playing the last season of his contract (i.e. Danny Green, Rudy Gay, JJ Redick just to name some of them...), so Jazz can sing him later going over the cap after trying to get another good player via free agency.
Doesnt work that way. You either have to keep the cap hold open for your FA or renounce his rights. You could only sign a good player via free agency and then use remaining cap room or the room exemption for additional players.
