and bitches marking it over B gonna come back next summer and apologize when he opts out and leaves... and we are left without 3 1st round picks and stuck with our draft picks tied up until 2024.
Acting like evaluating this trade is as simple as "will Conley play well in December?" is incredibly disingenuous. Conley's play in December is the last thing that should worry us in this trade. There is only one outcome of this trade that will make the price worth it if Conley bolts next summer - championship(or at the very least getting us to legit championship contention mode(aka, not what we've been the last 3 seasons). Otherwise you just wasted 3 1st round picks, one of them in the double draft when we are expected to be worst for a 1 year rental of Mike Conley.

Talk to you in a year Debbie Downer
Why am I the debbie downer? I've never doubted Conley's ability on the floor and his fit with the Jazz. This was never about Conley's play and fit. It's about his contract, his ET option, the price we paid, health risks, the protections we put on the pick, the direction we continue to take year after year... sending more and more and more picks out for rental after rental. I have no idea why it's so offensive to people that some don't love the trade...

I’m not offended. I just thing you’re over worrying. We’re gonna be really really good.
That's the goal. And I agree to a huge degree. I think depending on how we finish the off-season and the roster, we might really really good and get to the 55+ wins range. But this is not why you make a trade like this... you make it to win the championship. Or... lets relax that condition a bit because I do realize a lot of it is luck based - you do this trade to put yourself in the position to get lucky and win a championship. If we are legit title contender next year, this trade might have been worth it. Lets see if it happens...(because what we were last couple of years was not it)
A very high B from me Pat.
This is a trade that puts the Jazz in the championship conversation for the first time since 1999. Fans still bag on it.
Team is trying to win, Conley is an amazing talent, and all these “should have done x” scenarios seem to ignore the reality that 2 sides have to agree to trades.
A trade that gets us into title contention versus hope and prayer that we sign a FA is a no-brainer. Especially since they guy we traded for simply knows how to win, and folks like Harris disappeared in the playoffs.
This has to be the most fickle fan base in the league. LBJ or KD could sign here at folks would complain.

B just because it would have been an A if they got it done at the deadline of last season.
I have a hard time believing that anyone is going to pay a 33 year old player who's career is winding down more than the 30+ mil that will be left on Conley's contract for the 20-21 season.

A. The trade is a plausible pathway to a championship. Few people thought Toronto could win it all and look what happened. Go all in, it’s about the only way to win the title.
