Jazz front runner for Conley

[416Klawzz]

I thought Conley was being traded for the playoffs …….. but if you watched Mitchell in the playoffs (Where The Games Count) he got trashed and played like it .

Thought ? Not knowing ? The rest of your comment makes no sense. So there are games in the playoffs that don't count ?

Mitchell was our only option on offense. He was the only shot creator... You know what Conley does? Take a guess ? He can create, shoot and finish at the bucket. So Conley is very valuable and makes Donovan better too

You sound obviously similar to Mongoose. I'm starting to wonder now ??

Your all about trading for a $30 million contract and trading out Utah's future for a PG 32 y o where the 1st thing you do is cut his touches down because your best offensive player needs the ball in his hands to be effective. If Conley was 28 y o ,Id be all over this trade but his best games aren't ahead of him.

Good pickup mate ....

Have you watched Conley... like ever... dude can score in that exact situation on or off the ball he’d have value in that situation... is Exum going to excel in a half court grind it out game?

I don't think anybody on here hates Conley. I think anybody questioning our pursuit of Conley is basing on the fact that they would rather see our team have long term goals instead of short term goals. They probably would also rather see what we can do in free agency before going for a 32 year old PG who makes $32+ and has a player option for next season.

I agree that I am shocked how much people dislike him. I am guessing they only look at box scores of East coast teams. He is really good.

The reasonable concern people have is his age and his contract. He could opt out after one year. So either he thrives in our system and demands a 4 year big contract or he drops off due to age. Both are concerns.

But it is a fact our team would be much better with him on it next year.

Go all in one year maybe 2 ? See the raptors? So Conley works.

Long term goals? We need to build in the draft then and thru trades because no free agents will come here.

You're trying to write your own narrative so you have something to argue about. No one hates Conley, but he has no hope of earning that contract for us at age 32.

That isn't true, I'm not arguing. My own narrative that's what we are in the running for him ? His age is such a bad thing, I know it but what does it matter if we are young and suck?

At this rate if we are picky and Choosey Donovan and Gobert will be 32 and we will still suck with no championship.

We are Utah remember, unfortunately no one wants to come here via free agency only the ones drafted and traded to us.

Hurtful facts.

Unless you think Snyder is going to speed up the pace and reduce Mitchells touches then Conley a ball dominant PG in Memphis will not have the ball in his hands as much. Just off that I don't think Conley averages over 20 ppg . He'll average in the upper teens .

Oh, he's going to have an "upper teen" average? That is devastating news.

Is his increased efficiency over Rubio a part of your outstanding calculus?

Swing and a miss again. Rubio had about the same number of touches per game, but each of Rubios touches were .7 seconds longer per touch last season compared to Conley. So if Conley simply matched Rubio he would have the ball more in his hands than he did last year per game.

I have championship goals. And to get there you have to be willing to take a chance at some point. Ya gotta risk it for that biscuit. We can't play the longterm game trying to wait for the ideal move forever because time will just pass us by. And we'll look back and regret not making a move.

God, thinking about it, the above paragraph reminds me of my teenage years tbh. I wasted so many good opportunities that were presented to me because I expected even better things would come along later or thought "hey I'm young I have time". **** I'm glad that I eventually stopped living that way.
