Conley is a chemistry problem and we should trade him

[NUMBERICA]

There’s no way in hell OKC is trading Paul for our “garbage.” If they’re looking to clear salary, they can do better than that.

They couldn’t trade him for ANYTHING over the summer. He’s a distressed asset at that age and number, but he’s still a really good player on a team going nowhere.

To put the money in perspective, OKC would save $50-$80 million real dollars by trading CP3 for Conley. Conversely, the Jazz would be taking ON that money but probably more since it will almost certainly push them above the tax in his last year.

After reading through the threads, it sounds like we're going to have to live with our mistake and just make the best of the situation and hope he comes around. I do think we need to re-introduce Mudiay back into the rotation to play with JC. They had good chemistry. I think Mudiay should take some of Mike's minutes and maybe take a few minutes from Donovan and give them to Mike. Not really sure.

No to cp3. His contract is 1 year too long. Rudy and Donnovans contracts will fill up Conley's current salary placehold. If some team Is willing to take Conley and give back expiring deals for next offseason that's realistic.
At this point Mike needs to nut up and play like an alfa Male and quit playing the role of sad beta boy. If he can't figure it in the next few games out Mudiay should be getting his minutes. Period.

OKC is not trading Paul they are the 7th seed.

There's no denying that the Jazz were humming after the Clarkson trade. Some say that they found their identity then. No doubt the absence of Green and Davis enabled others to step up. Not sure if their is a correlation between the surge and the absence of Mike as well, but it's hard to argue that there isn't one.

No it's not. They played better when the schedule got east and struggled once the schedule got tough again.

Can we waive Conley and talk DWill out of retirement?

OKC is making CP, Gallinari, Adams and probably Schroeder are all available to trade. They'd want young players and/or draft picks.

Why do we just assume that CP3 is going to fit in seamlessly when he is very similar to Conley, except maybe more ball dependent?

CP3 is at another level as a player. With him we actually would have a chance for a championship. But do the Jazz want to take a chance and put all their marbles on him not getting hurt?

We have a bunch of youngsters we could give them but I bet OKC views them as garbage.

And Conley was another level from Rubio...

I don't know if Conleys struggle is a mental thing, he looks healthy tbh. Doc Rivers once said when they traded Perk they removed Garnett's shield. Affected his game. These things don't show on stat sheets but is valuable. Conley might still be looking for his shield. Like Shumpert/Jr to Lebron. Like hassan/Chris Andersen to heat. Just my 2 useless cents.
