If Conley is your best bet at a big 3, might as well blow it up and start over. Build around Mitchell.

I don’t think the Jazz are trying to build a big 3. I think they want Gobert and Ingles as 4th/5th options on offense. It’s more about finding a 2nd and third option that will help what we already have. Rubio pretty clearly isn’t that guy, they know they’re going to get outbid for Ricky in the offseason, so DL is trying to give up marginal assets to get better and get something out of Ricky’s contract.

Conley + Niko puts us where we need to be. The rest is solid role players, and we will have MLE.

I’m not worried about small gaps or rotation players. I’m worried about getting a legit 2nd/3rd option. Conley is that.

Conley-Exum
Mitchell-Korver
Ingles-O’Neale
Favors-Crowder
Gobert

Seriously, the gaps in that team are barely noticeable.

I don't think additional seconds move the needle much. So you don't throw them out there for the hell of it. If they came to us and said "cool we want two additional seconds" then you probably still do it. We have other shots at the 3rd guy... don't have to push all in on a max salary guy, that is on the wrong side of 30, and has had foot problems for much of his career.

We’re not getting a legit asset this off-season. People need to get this fairy tale out of their head.

There’s going to be a bidding war for Ricky?

If we don’t end up trading him, then we clearly have the inside track to re-signing him.

Why do they want both?

If Favors can be good next to Gobert some, I think he can be good next to Gasol. Also, Charlotte has zero good big men. And lastly, Gobert is playing 34 minutes per game. Gasol should probably be only playing about 28-30. So if they can share the court a little then rotate the 48 C minutes, they could help Charlotte come playoff time.

Regardless, Favors and Gasol is an upgrade over Biyombo and Marvin by a long shot.
