2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

He is currently averaging 20.2 points to go along with 6.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds while averaging 35.9% on 3s in 51 games this season. That's pretty good by any measurable standard. You're just trolling at this point and you know it.
Why are Memphis so bad then
 
All I'm saying is with Conley and Mitchell in the backcourt. The other teams will eat them on offense
 
Ask Memphis. Conley is clearly holding his own at his position.
I don't respond to who you are replying to but strictly to counter the "then why is MEM so bad" comment a good counter would also be; I guess that means AD is overrated trash as well cause look at NOP under performing record this year and most of his entire career.

You could essentially run a 3 guard rotation of Conley/Mitchell/Exum in the playoffs if you're worried about the size discrepency on the defense end, since the flaws in Exum's game are covered up by Conley and Mitchell's offensive prowess while Exum gives the Jazz the length and size at the guard spots to guard bigger guys like Harden. You could probably also get away with a 3 guard lineup against a team like the Rockets if they go super small and have Exum on Harden, Conley on CP3, and Mitchell guarding whoever the wing shooter they have.

Realistically speaking the main reason why Exum didn't play as much as he probably should have in the playoffs last year was because he coughed the ball up seemingly every possession, which was a shame because he was quite clearly a difference maker defensively when he was tasked with guarding Harden. If he can play the way he was prior to the injury on the offensive end while providing the elite man on man defense he can bring then I think he's a key bench piece for the Jazz going into the playoffs and just as important as Crowder off the bench.
 
I don’t understand Memphis.... you’re probably going to lose Gasol for nothing in the offseason, yet you expect the world back for him and Conley? Just trade them both for whatever assets you can get and start over. That’s going to be a massive rebuild.

Dante is no bench player trade him and favors to a team where they will start together
