Conley Officially a Jazzman

[LoPo]

What? Lol this whole post is horrible.

How do you figure? The protections set the table for us to give up the pick in 2022. Anything is possible. There is no guarantee that the 2022 pick is "late 20's".

I agree they really like Exum. I think that is dumb.

We shall see I guess. I trust they know more about him then anyone. My only concern is health but none of his injuries concern me long term, just bad luck. He still has a huge ceiling.

The City of Utah welcomes Mike Conley with open arms.

For the record, I'm glad we kept Exum. I haven't given up on him yet. He has more long term value in my mind than Grayson or #23.

City of Utah... damn...

Lets hope he gives us a title like the other player who refered to it as the "city of Utah" did for Dallas

Rudy could also leave by then. So, we could very easily be giving up a lottery pick. This pick is definitely the most valuable asset we gave up in the trade. For those that want to see the Jazz take a risk, this is it!

If the reported protections on that pick were true, we can kind of control our own destiny by tanking to the bottom to ensure that we get within that top 7 protection category. Something extreme would need to happen though, like Conley gets hurt. Then we will surely be the loser in the trade and everything we do will basically be cutting our losses.

We should have had that against Houston

Oh agree. I was bitter all season due to DL's inaction. The season just barely ended and we're making moves so it's hard for me to still be bitter.

At least we're trying.

I think the front office has answered this a lot. Yes, they really like those players.

This is a message board for fans though. I don't think the from office participates so I wasn't asking them.

It would be nice to have his cap space, but he is one of the few upside players we have on the roster (another risk by the front office).

Everything I heard of why they didn't deal him at the deadline is because we wouldn't include exum

The front office was/is still high on Exum (despite him being ded). And if they decide to move him, they will probably be looking at selling high.

In hindsight, I'd probably include Exum (I've sold my spot on Exum island). It kind of sucks last year felt like wasted time by standing pat. The front office probably expected to have a better chance of signing a top free agent. But the last couple of weeks hinted otherwise and thus, made them overpaid a bit for Conley. Perhaps Indiana and Boston were now in the conversation unlike last year, thus driving up the price. Who knows.
