Getting Traded

How about get rid of both? You don't have that option.
According to Tony Jones of the Athletic the Jazz are planning on keeping Conley for next season (who knows how they REALLY feel). But also according to Jones, the Jazz are willing to go into luxury tax territory to do what needs to be done.
For reals this is dumb. What if Conleys comes back next year and puts up 20 and 7 along with the defense he had in Memphis?And I’m not participating in your stupid poll you idiot!!!
1, Asking this current version of Conley to average 20 and 7 while playing good defense is a big IF no matter how you look at it.For reals this is dumb. What if Conleys comes back next year and puts up 20 and 7 along with the defense he had in Memphis?
Fans are so fickle, past clue summers y'all been screaming at DL to make a move,any more and when he did yall praised it from the top of the Rocky Mountains and yes things didn't go as planned but maybe just maybe the fans put to much pressure on a guy coming in,off a major injury and learning a new system.
DM will want out if we still play Conley major minutes, take the ball out of DM's hands, and give him tougher defensive assignment because we need to hide Mike Conley on defense.With the way things ended here with Swill,Hayward we don't need to run Conley out of town but then again it won't matter cuz if Mitchell leaves in a court years Jazz will be toast when it comes to Free Agencies

And I intend on starting to eat healthy.
Saying so and doing so are two entirely different things.
don't even get me started on DL's track record in the draft...an absolute ********I have been anti-DL for years now. Look at what he has done:
Let Millsap walk for nothing. That led to Exum, who he extended with a terrible contract. The Jazz were all lined up to take Giannis with #14 and Gobert with their pick in the 20's...DL traded those picks for Burke. He screwed up the Hayward initial contract, when Hayward wanted a max deal, he told Hayward to go find one (even though he KNEW the cap was going to rise) and instead of locking Hayward up for 4 years, we only got him for 3, which Hayward then bolted to Boston. And was DL blindsided that Hayward was going to leave? Nah, Hayward asked out and DL said no. He did trade back into the first round for Gobert, but that was because Sloan threw a fit and went to bat for Gobert. Not so much a DL pick, but a Sloan pick. DL traded the pick the Jazz wanted to use on Gobert for Burke.
In FA, DL has been less than stellar. What big signing has he made to remake this team? Bojan? Had he kept a much better player in Hayward, he wouldn't have needed Bojan. What Boozer or Memo or Bell did he find? Ingles?
Now onto Mitchell. I know everyone loves to give him credit for Mitchell, and yes, he did say yes. BUT, what happened is Denver called Utah up and said, "We know you like Mitchell. We want Lyles. You in?" Yes, DL needs relationships, yes, he needs to scout Mitchell, but this wasn't some schrewd DL screwing Denver out of a player. It was Denver offering a trade to Utah and Utah saying yes.
He traded for George Hill instead of Teague and Hill was a big part of the reason Hayward bailed.
Imagine what DL could have been:
Instead of letting Millsap walk for nothing, he keeps the player with all star potential. He sticks with the plan of Giannis and Gobert instead of trading up for Burke. The Jazz now look like this:
Jamall Tinsley/Lucas III
Hayward/Burke
Giannis/Richard Jefferson
Millsap/Marvin Williams
Favors/Gobert
That team is a bit better than what he did, isn't it?
Sure, we miss out on Exum, but I think we'd all trade Exum for Giannis, no?
We might miss out on Mitchell, but maybe not. And if DL was this mastermind who maneuvered to get Mitchell the first time, he would have done it the second time, right?
Anyways, Giannis is a better player than Mitchell and if you were to tell me I could have Mitchell or Giannis/Hayward/Millsap...I'm not taking Mitchell, as great as he is.
DL is so overrated in Jazzland.
Name 5 teams that have drafted better than us.don't even get me started on DL's track record in the draft...an absolute ********

So DL takes over in 2013 and lands Rudy #27... the next year he gets Hood at #23.... His biggest misses are Exum and Lyles (but he flips Lyles into DM) In 2017 he land DM...Thunders, Raptors, Celtics, Warriors, Nuggets, Grizz, and you can throw Lakers in there too, since they've found Kuz, Josh Hart and Thomas Bryant in one draft, but their player development has been ****

He drafted two all stars outside the top ten... had some misses.
OKC since 2013 got Adams and whiffed on every other pick.
Boston got Smart #6, Brown at #3, Tatum at #3, KO in 2013 (passed on Giannis too), Terry Rozier at #16... and then have whiffed on a **** ton of picks like 6-7 firsts and high second rounders. Robert Williams is a wait and see. Ainge has been great in the top 6 and total **** outside of it.
Since 2013 Warriors best pick is Paschall in the second round... Looney end of first... whiffed on everything else.
Nuggets have been consistently good... problem is they traded Rudy and DM to us. They also whiffed on Mudiay #6. They have been better than us but those are pretty bad black eyes.
Memphis drafted Ja #2, Jackson #4... those aren't no brainers but still a lot easier finding talent in the top 5. They drafted Clarke as well, but outside of that they have whiffed hard.
Lakers landed the guys you mentioned... great! they also took Ball over Tatum/Fox, DLo over the Zinger... they had some other solid wins.
I will give you the Lakers and Nuggets... but I think when you look at the draft you have to look at wins and not losses. We have had some ****ing home run wins.
