I wonder if they’d do Conley for Paul and their 1st.

They might want to get off of that contract that badly, especially with revenue concerns.

Like OP said, we’d be a legit contender and maybe most importantly, Paul could legit attract a FA that imo Spida or Gobert couldn’t. A guy/stretch 4 or 4/5 that could maybe get us over the hump.

They will get a pick and get off his deal... guaranteed.

If I'm Utah I do this trade all day long.
 
Not only do Rudy and CP3 not get along (though I'd wager, they'd be best buds on the same squad).

What would concern me is CP3 needs the ball in his hands more than Conley does. If Donovan doesn't get to dribble - that takes away all of his dribble-drive moves. Part of the reason CP3's points, FG%, 3P%, and FT% went UP this season vs last season - he had the ball in his hands a lot more. He would probably be a better fit than Conley, but for how long? CP3 with be CP36 years old by the end of this season, and when players of that age get an injury - it's often their last injury.

Also Paul does nothing to help with our length and defensive backcourt issues.

Phoenix is taking a huge gamble. OKC took his contract with nothing to lose and everything to gain (draft picks).

Here is what I talked about in another thread. Only way I see a Mike deal getting done is a scenario like this where OKC doesn't want Ricky and doesn't care much about Oubre. So say you put Mike into the deal... do you like Mike more than Ricky and Oubre? What else could you get? I wouldn't be that excited for a Ricky reunion, but there were times this year when Mike was sucking that I thought about what it would have been like had we kept him.

I'm not a Ricky fan but if he is your backup pg that's solid. Plus if it nets you oubre that's worth it alone. Oubre would be awesome for us.

We are a better team with Rubio and Oubre than we are with Conley.

And we save $3 million for next season which would allow us to bring back JC for less than $10 million AND use the full MLE staying under the luxury.

And we get to start Don at PG.

And I think Rubio and JC work together in the 2nd unit.

And we get another wing scoring option in Oubre.

Would have to bring a 3rd team that would want Rubio and give an additional asset to Phoenix. I doubt Utah really wants to go back to that just to grab Oubre since they willing gave up on it.

Jazz could then just start Mitchell at PG and sign someone like DJ Augustin to be the primary backup. Maybe even a Trey Burke reunion?

I think they could talk themselves into a reunion depending on how much they like Oubre and what else they get (I would think they’d get some additional fringe asset since OKC can flip Conley for something and they don’t want the returning long term salary).

Oubre is a UFA after this year though. If we’re going to trade Conley’s expiring we should at least attempt to get some long term value.
 
Is there any team out there that loves Oubre?

Phoenix gets Paul
OKC gets Conley
Utah gets Rubio and something from team #4
Team #4 gets Oubre

4 team trades are rare, but there is a **** ton of logic to this.
