Thank you!
Conley (according to source) to re-sign 3 years 60 mil
- Thread starter David Hume
- Start date
It may sound like nothing more than a semantical issue, but I think the distinction is important.
Jazz writers haven't said anything about the source(s) (to my knowledge), they've only chimed in to say that the journalist is a legit journalist. The Jazz writers may not know the source(s) that the journalist used.
Legit journalists sometimes turn out to be wrong (though obviously I'm putting a lot more weight in something coming from this journalist than if it was from some relatively unknown writer).
I don't think it leaves us any more money to sign more players (in free agency). All it does, I believe, is reduce the luxury tax cost overall and/or make it easier financially to consider using a trade exception.

20M a year for Conley is about as good as we could hope for. The 3 years 75 million dollar rumor is what I was preparing for, so saving 5 mill a year, although doesn't seem to help us with our salary cap situation, is much better, especially if it ever comes to a situation where the Jazz need to trade him.
I just hope Mike takes care of his body. Healthy Mike last season was a huge asset and totally worth 20 million. Gimpy Mike....not so much

Mitchell must have something against playing the point because 3 more years of Conley is too many… If DM doesn’t have a problem with playing the point then 20 million for a backup point-guard is too much and we have a favors situation again next year. Trying to offload an oft injured overpaid player that nobody has much use for. I’m good with giving Conley two years, but 3 years guaranteed scares me.
I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for a sign and trade or for a 2 year contract.

Or maybe Conley is just a really good ****ing player? This isn’t that complicated dude.

I don’t think it’s that complicated either, but the Jazz continue to **** it up. Conley is unreliable and his best years are behind him dude.

Yes… but the moratorium hasn’t started yet… the teams are supposed to start discussions tomorrow starting at like 6PM. That’s why deals are officially announced until then. Just because it happens doesn’t mean it’s supposed to happen. I just mentioned that we don’t even pretend it’s an issue anymore. The Bogdon sign and trade deal was announced last year before FA opened up and it caused issues. They can’t really control it or enforce it but they’ve basically stopped pretending it’s something they are supposed to hide.This is a couple of years old, so the dates are off, but:
Nowhere does it say these agreements cannot be discussed. It happens literally every year.

Even if you don’t like Conley, the best move for the Jazz is STILL to bring him back on a fair deal. The alternative is losing a guy that could be turned into assets for nothing.
Pretty wild. I'd imagine if Utah wanted to trade him they could get a similar package for him that they used to get him.
He literally just had his best season (aside from the bad health ending)
