Jazz front runner for Conley

Conley would look great next to the dynamic and up and coming Mitchell, the all worldly defensive presence and rim threat of Gobert, the jack of all trades Ingles, the dogged defender O'Neale, the reliable Crowder ...

Yep Conley is pesky and can get really aggressive. This will add a much needed spark that is desired. Our team needs this rejuvenation

do you want me to look up memo or Booz's first year stats with the Jazz for you? Haven't those guys contributed for us right away?

if you can't sign KD or Kawhi, doesn't mean you need to turn to the Neto, Niang, or any other "non-impactful players" as a result. FA are full of players who can both make positive impacts to this team RIGHT NOW while having rooms to develop in the future.

Mitchell and Gobert can wait. they are 22/26. it's not like they are 32/36 or leaving next year.

1. Gobert is a UFA in two years
2. The path to the finals looks wide open right now
3. Our 3rd best/most important player IS old and will fall off at some time. When that happens, this team will definitely feel it.

1, that is TWO more years, not one. and so are Mitchell's rookie scale contract. two years is a LOT of time in sports.
2, who said it won't be even more wide open the year after? even possibly for championship when Siakam leaves/Lowry fall off, but we're trying to disqualify ourselves for that one.
3, yeah, this statement is especially true when we bring in Conley.

so like i said, we are not doing ourselves ANY GOOD by hanging around for the Conley deal, in which we can't even put together a convincing package for right now. teams like Detroit or Orlando can walk in at any point and outbid us easily.

So sign someone of value in FA. accumulate assets. COME BACK mid-season.

we'll be in a better position for trade talks with those FA acquisitions, and hopefully(probably) there will be better opportunities for even better players.

DM and Rudy are contracted till TWO seasons after. we have time

No, not true at all. Kevin Oconnor saw him on the waver wire, IMMEDIATELY called his agent and offered a big contract that they couldnt say no to. No one else had a chance to call before they took the offer

Yeah, I don't buy that story Agents are a thing. Pelinka made calls. Of course KOC wasn't going to admit to conspiring against a blind man. It was just "blind luck" that someone saw that Boozer was available. Riggghhhhtt. . .
 
We kept waiting for the Warriors to die and a window to open. Well here you go.

It’s not time to plan for the future, it’s time to make a move.

“Conley doesn’t put us over the edge”

I hear that. But do we even know what the edge is right now? The only ‘superteam’ is the Lakers and they are two stars learning to play together and a bunch of bums. Houston may be imploding. It’s a game of chance, Raptors could have easily lost the second round, so you can’t play the result. Just give yourself a shot.

With Conley I think we have a fighting chance against any team in the league. And that’s all you can ask for.

Building for the future is when you have Hayward, Burks, Burke, Kanter and Favors and think all of them will be awesome. The league is way too fluid to plan like that. Get a good player and re-asses if and when necessary.

Get Conley, get a top 3 seed. Hope Mitchell takes a step, and a few others show some improvement. Ingles last dance, Gobert peak power. Pray for health and some good bounces.

I’m in.

this Two years is like .. very little time. If we sit on our hands again we're running the risk of showing Rudy and Donovan we're not serious about winning.

Favors aint old.

I am pretty sure you are referring to Ingles though. Royce seemed to do a good job of playing SF for him in the playoffs for his 2nd year in the NBA.
