I would do Love + Sexton/Garland for Conley + #23 pick. Cleveland unloads Loves deal for expiring Conley contract and Utah gets an experienced and improving young lottery PG to pair with Mitchell for the next 5 years and can start now. Cleveland also gets to keep its #5 pick and unloads ones of its overlapping young PGs, as an all 6’1” backcourt is too small even in the modern NBA. Win-win.
 
Ben Simmons just made All NBA meaning he gets a slight bump in his max... Philly's salary issues just got 3% worse. If the cap stays the same they will be like $23-25M over even if they fill it out with minimum guys... and it gets even uglier in future years. For a first round and out team...

They might be peak desperation right now.

Who says no? (kinda feel gross now using a Bill Simmons term)

With the understanding that Conley’s max contract will expire this year and the Jazz will then likely have no cap space to sign another player, who would you then prefer the Jazz trade Conley’s expiring deal + 1st round draft pick for if you could pick one of these four guys?

*Note that the Jazz do have Conley’s Bird’s rights, meaning they can re-sign their own guy to any contract even though they’re over the cap, but I doubt the Jazz nor Conley would want to.

Otto Porter, - 27 years old, 1 yr $27.5mm left on his contract (His contract his expiring but the Jazz would receive his Bird's rights
DAngelo Russell- 24 years old, 3 yrs $90mm left on his contract
Tobias Harris - 28 years old, 4 years $145mm lefton his contract
Kevin Love- 31 years old, 3 years $90mm left on his contract
Al Horford- 34 years old, 3 years $81mm left on his contract (would probably come with additional compensation compared to the other guys)
The Jazz should've figured out a way to trade Harris for Conley last offseason. Philly was looking to shed contracts & potentially move him.
