Conley is basically a 1 Year rental given his opt out. Hopefully they don’t have to give up more than one or two first rounders
Jazz front runner for Conley

I don't think it's much of an issue. Assuming everyone is right and Conley's body turns to dust due to age after one year, he'd be dumb to turn down $32. It'll be the last big money year of his career. I certainly wouldn't bet on a huge contract at 34. Shoot, no one wanted to pay George Hill after he turned 30. Of course, the Kings finally did and immediately regretted it.
Next offseason, Conley will have to watch Hill carefully. Hill is going to make $18 this year and then UFA next. Conley would be lucky to take that kind of pay at ages 34-37 or 38. Chris Paul signed his current max at age 33. Then again, we do know that is a crippling amount of money and the Rockets are totally regretting that decision and a contract like that won't be repeated in the near future.
What “we” should do is take the best opportunity land a player that takes Utah up a tier or two. Conley does that. So do others as noted on here. But what’s the most likely?

Efrid Payton anyone?
Is Exum still on the roster?
Honestly, Payton is a much better (and cheaper) option than Exum. For those heart broken on what’s lost if we trade Exum, just add Payton on the cheap. I actually kinda do like Payton. Pretty pointless if we have Exum, though.
Hell no

basically Ricky Rubio with better athleticism and worse floor generalness. could become a good trade assets in the future though, but i'd prefer Satoransky.

we could actually trade Payton should we acquire him. I don't see us placing Exum on a trade table and get anything of value in return. not on his current contract at least

lol. hot trash that could potentially be used to trade for something. what we have on this current roster right now are a bunch of players that can't really be used to trade for anything, which is worse.
you know signing free agents is nothing like marriage. you don't have to fall in love before signing. it is all about assets and business. sometimes your team's fans favorites ain't necessarily worth a crap in the eyes of other teams GMs.
just making a point here though, I wouldn't want Payton either. he's basically made of glass lol
