Jazz front runner for Conley

[LoPo]

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 .

Good prediction about the ball dominance.

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.

Bump

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.

We have championship pieces who just arent there yet. Mitchell will be a super star. Gobert, although not a two way star, is right there as a quality center. I think O'Neale will end up being better than some give him credit for. If we can find other up and comers with them, we can be a force.

For those comparing Conley to the Kawhi Toronto situation or saying that Curry is about the same age, shame on y'all. Those aren't even close to the same. I do feel that Conley makes us better, but I don't think he will stay good enough for Mitchell to hit superstar status and O'Neale to hit really good status. We cash in all our chips for 1 maybe 2 great "maybe make the WCF" years then we are grasping at straws without recent draft picks to build up again.

If we can get Conley for #23, do it. If we have to give up much more, pass.

I can admit I was wrong about O'Neale's development at this point although I still do have hope. I stand by the rest.

If we were getting Conley, I think it would have happened by now.

Man, I was way off on this one....

I feel like our team needs another young player to get excited about. Somebody who we feel like is Donovan's wingman for the next decade.

I don't know who that is. Is is somebody we draft? Is it Russell? Randle? Rozier? Brogdon? Winslow? I don't freaking know. I just feel like we are at that place. Yes, Conley would be great for the next year to few years, but if we do what we've been doing in the 1st/2nd round, I think the fan base gets even more disgruntled and impatient.

I think we need an exciting splash, and I don't even know exactly who that would be.

Still feel this way.

I am now at the point that our current offer for Conley is our offer. I'm willing to pay that to get him. I wouldn't add anything more though. With all of the craziness going on, I now think we could get someone in free agency or another trade that will make us better. I like Conley, but not "future first" love him.

Great post.

 

[LoPo]

Right now Stein is reporting that we're offering two firsts for him. I agree that's too much and I'd rather go after guys in free agency

Yep

 

[LoPo]

Trading 2 firsts for Conley would be the worst trade the Jazz have made in 10+ years. 32 year old non allstar on one of the largest contracts in the entire NBA. Also he could opt out after 1 year. Hard pass.

As Cousin Eddie said, "Bingo"

 

[LoPo]

2 ****ing first rounders and gave up allen instead of exum? WTF?

lol

 

[LoPo]

Wow, not sure how I feel about this. I think the Jazz are still a couple of years from really competing for the title, this trade doesn't help us compete in 2 years.

You were right to be skeptical.

3 first round picks including the trash pick Greyson. That's how you ruin a team. The Jazz have now spent 5 first round picks in 6 years on rental point guards. Horrible gm work.
