Two late first round picks for a perennial near all star two-way player for possibly only one year. Tough to decide.

Fixed that for you. And the fix does indeed make it tougher to decide. For me, anyway.

edit: plus it's not necessarily "two late first round picks". The second pick will likely be in 2022 with only top 6 protection, and who knows what the Jazz will be like that season. We can hope the Jazz are still in the playoffs, and we can hope they are going deep into the playoffs, but that very easily might not be the case.

I want B do only to him having a player option after this year. Otherwise an A.
 
I went with A. Conley is the best point guard available to the Jazz, whether through trade or free agency, and the Jazz got him without giving up their best trade asset in Favors. I'd rather have Conley on a 2-year deal than Kemba or DLo on a 4-year max deal.
 
I feel like the players we lost are meh and easily replaceable. We kept the players we want which is good. There are a bunch of players we can sign for cheap that can replace Crowder's production.

Conley makes our team much much better. But the only concern is the 2 picks for a player that could leave after 1 year or demand a big contract for 4 years who would enter that contract at 33. It could be like what happened with Hill. He played really well in our system and then demanded a big contract. If we lose him after a year then it was a really bad trade, unless we win it all!

So B.

I commend you for trying to make poor Memphis feel like they didn't get fleeced. Tell us about Grayson's huge upside?

I don't think Grayson has a huge upside, sorry. But I do think the 2022 pick could very well be in the lottery, and I'll miss Crowder. And I think we very well might have Conley for only a single year.
 
Literally the only way to hate this trade is if you don't believe that Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert can be the best two players on a championship team.
