Conley irrelevant...

The Jazz are trying to win a championship. The Conley and Bogdanovic moves gave us our best chance.

People need to stop playing these games in their mind where we could have gotten this player or that player instead.

No magical fairy unicorn existed. The harsh reality is that if we miss the Conley deal we very likely don't get Bogey and we end up running it back with Favors and Rubio and that team just wasn't good enough.

When you see the girl of your dreams what do you do? Do you sit and daydream about that girl? Do convince yourself a better girl exists somewhere out there? Or do you go win the heart of the dream girl right in front of your face?

The Jazz saw the chance put a ring on it and didn't let the chance go. Some of y'all let the chick walk while you were daydreaming and now you're looking at a bunch of middle aged fat hairy men.
 
Jokes aside, I have been critical of the Conley acquisition, but I'm feeling kind of hopeful for his return.

I think there can be a role for him that adds another dimension to this team.

Certainly don't want him or the Jazz to fail.

Isn't Conley replacing Royce like the 5th best 5 man lineup in the league? That was done against better competition, no?

No... that lineup is actually negative but small minutes... Conley for Ingles is good.

Yeah... Adding another good player to a good team will hurt it... Especially one that is known as a positive locker room guy and a team player...


We are playing well without him during the easiest stretch of games we have this year.

Having a good player that has played pretty bad replace another good player that is playing well in a lineup that is key to a pretty great stretch of wins is the concern... not just adding him to the rotation.

Some of y’all are over simplifying the potential issue. We have multiple players in the starting lineup that are doing the things we want Conley to do... they are doing it at a much higher level than Mike was... those players also bring important things that Mike doesn’t. If Mike comes back and isn’t significantly improved over what he was earlier in the year we will be worse... we don’t get any “name brand” bonus points because it’s Mike Conley.

We can however reasonably expect Conley's next forty games to more closely resemble his previous couple of hundred games than his last twenty.

And the player he was in those last couple hundred games is absolutely a player than can help this team win more games.

Maybe... even probably... but maybe he is declining or the system doesn’t fit... he’s been bad but when he was bad we didn’t have other good options... he will have to be really damn good to take possessions away from DM, Ingles, Bojan without costing us something.
 
you guys are so near-sighted. Conley is here to take us to the next level in the playoffs. Of course we are a good regular season team, with or without him. That's not the point. The point is to have another guy when we are playing the clippers or the lakers in the post season. We're going to need him if we want a chance at making the conference finals. There will come a time when ingles at point forward won't be enough and that's where all the extra firepower comes into play.
