If Conley Opts Out

Why would he opt out? He is not going to get an offer that is close to what his option year brings in. IDK maybe he hates Quin.

A plausible (if improbable) answer to your question has already been typed in this thread. Be less lazy.

The only morsel of hope for Conley opting out is him seeing his championship chasing window slamming shut. Right now it's wide open and letting them 35 million chirping birdies fly in. He has plenty of championship chasing years ahead.

Conley has always played for (a) the team that drafted him, or (b) the team that traded for him. He may have some interest in picking a team from a fairly wide open field. If he were to get exposed next year (after opting in), then that field could narrow considerably.

If Conley opts out, he’s an idiot. Plain and simple.

Marvin Williams faced a similar situation with the Jazz as Conley and he opted in.

 

[Getting Traded]

It's nice to dream but the only likelihood that Conley is not playing for the Jazz next year is if they trade him. But who knows, stranger things have happened. I just can't conceive of it.

If Conley opts out next year, it would be clear that the team doctors didnt check his head

The money-driven cynicism around here is pretty eye opening.

Lol it's 30+ million dollars for a measly season of basketball.

Dave is a good character to bring into this discussion. Dude turned down $50 million to keep Chapelle show going. He valued other things more. Must be an idiot, right?

So I’d counter with saying Mike is a fairly settled guy with two kids. They’ve only ever lived in Memphis. Family uproots last summer. Does he uproot again, and, if so, for what? Gets paid less. He’s in a situation with lots of FO and coaching staff support — to a fault. Which team has space to obtain him, has a need for him, and would be contending with where he’s happy with his role? Not saying that doesn’t exist, but when you’re talking about giving him reason to leave his current situation for something else, it’d have to have some upgrades in a number of those factors.
