Conley Officially a Jazzman

Jack Strop said:
As Lindsey's biggest critic, I have to give him credit for getting a deal done. And he did it without giving up two players he believes to be key contributors: Favors and Exum.

I doubt he made this deal without gauging the interest of FA's to be like Harris and Walker. Hate to give up Jae, but the reality is that Crowder was much like Booker...tough, likable guys who were inefficient.

Never did like Allen, so meh on goving him up. Picks in the late-mid 20's are easily replaceable.

Jazz now have a very solid main 6 (including Royce) - maybe 7 if Dante rises from the ded

Good deal, imo. Yes, expensive. But Jazz are a better team.

Yes, if he clears waivers. I would imagine more like a 3 year $36 million deal ($12 per), but it would help us either way.

Favors is going to get paid more than that by another team. Look at the boat that Dallas is about to offer Horford.

If kawhi doesn't get one of the luckiest bounces in NBA history in game 7 against the sixers then they would still be complaining.
And if the warriors were healthy they might still be complaining

Lmfao. Oh no! Not the 23rd pick!

I’ll miss Jae, while replaceable he was good for us.

Conley bolting is wild assumption. We don’t know. Let it play out. There is an “early termination” clause. But I don’t see if it’s a player or team option

Willing to bet there is protections on the 2021 pick. So not having it is conditional.

Grayson wasn’t benefiting this team. Trading him is fine.

Korver is possible retiring.

I mean, sure we paid. But the Jazz are substantially better now.

It's almost as if there's some large clamor for the Jazz FO to do something, but once it does, clamor for action transforms into whining about the cost. As if accomplishing any significant upgrade to the roster was NOT going to cost some combination of money, players, and draft picks.

And the complaining about losing mid to later 20s draft picks (who have less than 25% chance of become rotation players) is especially curious.

Odds are we weren't going to get D-LO, plus the timing of that sucks, as if D-LO went elsewhere, our window for signing top FA would be gone. Plus, it appears the FO felt that its odds of getting Harris did not justify giving up a sure thing in Conley.
 
Not a fan of this one. I liked it when it was picks, DedEx, and filler at the trade deadline to push us over the top. Doing this now for that much is just not good. And so the treadmill continues.

DL has a history of making some draft day deals, so maybe he will move up in the draft or get another pick. Fingers crossed... at least to make draft day exciting.

According to Tony Jones the Jazz are being aggressive trying to get an early second round pick or possibly even late first if they can.

Why does Andy talk about the small MLE? Jazz stay over the cap, don't they? Assuming Favors' option is picked up.

The trade doesn't go through until the 6th, meaning the Jazz are generating capspace then using it to get Conley. Would love to have been able to stay over the cap to get all the exceptions.
 
I have as much confidence of the Jazz generating players from the Homeytennis all-stars (Jingles, Royce) than the late, late first round of a draft. The only downside of the Conley trade is that summer league is going to be unwatchable. With the lack of incoming talent from this draft, however, that was probably going to happen anyway.
