uh if he keeps getting hurt he won't be tradeable at all. Its bad enough that he might already not be so kind of have to monitor the minutes. If he does play b2b then they have no interest at all in trading him until this summer though so to that point yeah might as well burn him out so Sexton can get back in the starting 5 and frustrate the hell out of you

Welcome to the Mike Conley experience. He's a small aging PG who has missed on average over 30 games per season due to injury since he turned 30. Somehow they managed to squeeze 70 games out of him last season but then again Donovan was doing the bulk of the ballhandling. Since 2014 it's more typical for him to play closer to 50 games per season.

I know it was a convenient excuse to blame some of the losses on Mike being out but that's what usually happens with him. They had to know at age 35 Conley was going to be missing games.

With that said the Jazz have over $72mil in salaries for this season that are sitting out this game due to various injuries, illness, etc. It seems every time I turn on any NBA game the big name stars are always sitting out. I don't know what can be done about it...fewer games?

The only chance I see to trading Conley is if a team in the running has an injury to their pg and needs Conley to fill the role for a bit. That doesn't happen if he's injured himself. Be cautious until the trade deadline, then do whatever feels right. He's a good enough guy I don't want to see him run into the ground and really we need to be grooming new guys and seeing what we have.
 
So I fugure the starting lineup will be something like: NAW, Beasley, Vando, KO, Kessler?
Maybe Vando or kessler comes off the bench and Ochai starts?
Maybe Gay starts so help me god.

None of those options looks very good. Plus we just played last night. Plus Denver is a good team. Plus its on the road.
This has all the making of a blowout.
 
I predict a 10 point win. Abaji scores 35 and we all demand Tucker gets nailed to the bench.
