Mike Conley Says He Wants to Sign New Jazz Contract: 'We Love It Here'

Having enjoyed a return to form this season, Mike Conley is looking to stay with the Utah Jazz when he becomes a free agent this offseason. "Utah's got me," Conley told The Athletic's Tony Jones ...

Sounds like he’d give the jazz a discount the way he talks about the team. He knows Utah is the best situation for him, wish Hayward realized this before it was too late.

What is the most amount that we can offer him this summer?

Me: Reads the title... music plays... Good Gawd that's @FAILED STATE 's music.

Clarkson's deal was the steal of the century.

Seriously though, does retaining his bird rights require giving him an extension? Or can we just start a whole new contract from scratch?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

So say we give him a two year deal starting at 15M... that means we are paying about 45M in tax next year... the year after it gets really ugly. 15M is likely a discount... I don't think you get him for less than that is he stays healthy. Could see a team like NY or another bottom feeder coming with a bigger one or two year offer. Might also see really enticing taxpayer MLE offers from the Lakers. I don't think he'd go that route.

I don't think we can make a trade this season, but this offseason I think you will see either Mike walks, Bojan is traded for less or no salary, Favs is moved for less or no salary.

We can give him whatever deal he wants this offseason. We can't extend him right now for less than like 27M a year which is way too high imo.

Bare minimum you got to give him something like 50 million over 3 years to come in with a respectful offer.

 

[Gameface]

If he likes it here so much why is he thinking about resigning?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Most important piece of info is that his wife is down to stay.

This was a given. Smith and Mike are besties from even before he bought the team.

Jazz have to be careful. They could be in it with Bogey and Conley past their prime for a ton of $$$$

Mike has already made about 200 mil
How much does one still need to be set for life
He would have to take much less than any where else to stay here
Maybe he would?

I would be fine losing favors at this point.

Resign vs re-sign. Two completely different meanings...

 

[rjfan]

I'll let the boys in charge work it and just enjoy this a bit

Udoh on a minimum.

We always give one extra year that we shouldn't so this would make sense.

I think we are choosing between Bojan and Mike this offseason. If we can't find a trade partner for Bogey then someone might be making that decision for us.

Finding a trade partner may be tough if he isn't healthy. I also think it will be rough in the locker room... its a business so whatevs. I think the easiest fix is we trade Bojan this offseason very little or no salary.

I don't think we'd do it with all the good vibes... but if you moved him for Rudy Gay we'd add some variety in the frontcourt and clear some space out this offseason.

If they are bros then Ryan can give Mike the old Dirk and Cuban deal... Hey Dirk take less money and we will do some "business" deals later to make you whole.
