BTW, to all of you valuing the 23rd pick like it's an MVP candidate, teams can buy a pick every season. Everyone knows that's the only way to draft players like Gobert late in the draft.

Who's doing that? I haven't seen too many people placing value on that pick. Speaking for myself, it's the 2022 pick I'm concerned about.
 
I gave it a c. I’m good with trading for Conley, but it should’ve been for Favors and filling, and not excited about trading Allen. Now I’m almost positive we are keeping Favors this year, which is a step in the wrong direction. I would’ve gone D but I’m high on Niang, and trading Crowder opens up minutes for Niang.
 
C. Good player, highly overpaid, cost 3 first round picks, and 3 rotation players. Lost all that coveted roster "flexibly"

Favors is our best trade asset and we still have him AFTER getting Conley. Not a bad thing.
 
C - I like Conley and think he'll be really good for us, just seems more desperate than I think is necessary. Seems like the same feeling I had with the contracts of exum and favors, end up paying way more than anyone else would have. Glad to see jae go though

I'm going with I for incomplete. I'll say the same thing I said about the Hill trade--it depends whether Conley reups with the Jazz or not.* Hill didn't, and because of that it was a bad trade. We'll see about Conley.

I assume the Jazz have talked to Conley and/or his agent and have some assurance that he'll be here more than a single year. But I assumed that about Hill as well.

*unless the Jazz win the title this year, in which case it was a great trade either way!

This.
 
Changed my grade to an A.

Conley should be a significant upgrade over Rubio. I still think that Mitchell ends up the PG of the future, but this is a great “win now” move - especially if they came to the conclusion that they were going to get shut out in FA.

Losing Crowder stings, but if the Jazz can find somebody to fill his role effectively they’re going to be hard to beat. Losing Grayson, Korver and a couple of picks is a small price to pay.
 
I also have to believe Dennis gauged the interest of the free agents to be (like Harris) and determined the chance of landing any of them was very slim. Tampering isn't really a thing any more, especially after the end of the season. So maybe I should up my grade. At the very least, Dennis finally did SOMETHING major. Whether it works or not, even if Conley only stays for 1 year, I won't criticize this trade.
 
After I let my emotions come down I will regrade the trade at C-... the fit is way too good for me to give it a D... We got good player who is awesome fit and gives us exactly what we are missing. I don't like the price but oh well...
 
I'm glad I didn't have any of you as teachers or professors. Good lord some of these grades are harsh.
