Jazz going after Conley. How do they make it happen?

How does that change if we trade for him? He'll be an UNRESTRICTED FA. So we'll still be competing with every other team. There is little to be gained by "selling" him on the team by giving up a ton of assets to get him for 35 games, He'll be sold by playing against the Jazz and us kicking his butt 4 times, He'll be sold if the Jazz finish with a good seed in the playoffs.

Just asking, but what value do Bird rights have if a team is nowhere near the salary cap? It's not like Utah is going to offer him $30M/per next summer.

It wasn't very well thought out.

I'd rather we go after somebody a bit younger if I'm perfectly honest.


Conley's production leveled off last season dropping to 15.8 ppg, 5.4 assists, 1.3 steals... it's gone down again this year (albeit because Memphis is struggling as a team). Seems to me he has peaked physically though which is not a good sign...

Asa moderator you are not very bright are you? Wait until 2017 draft, Which is a gamble, and Conley is a proven player. So by your logic Jazz could maybe compete for a title in 2021?

BTW, I think Conley would be the perfect acquisition. It's going to take Exum a few years to develop. Conley would be a perfect starter and then as he ages, come of the bench behind Dante (provided Dante learns to shoot).

he can shoot better than Neto lol his last few games have me a little worried about him
 
I've always loved Conleys game. I think his game would fit really well with us. My biggest concern is his age, but at the same time we have had poor pg play for a few years and there are plenty of good point guards out there.
Long story short, if we got Conley I'd be happy

Book it.

All this media and team gushing over him before and after the game.

Face it, he'd be a perfect fit. Low usage, good defensively, jack-of-all-trade types PG.

What do we give up at ASB, if not sooner, to get him? He's a UFA at the end of the season, and it's known he's not eager to extend at this time. Do we have to wait, or will Memphis be smart and get assets before he hits the market? Will they want expirings, or a badly needed scorer? Conley will be well sought after and his salary will require us to pony up an asset (a "core" piece) to get him.

Do you want him and what are you willing to give up to make it happen?

Me?

Burks + Trey Burke OR Dante Exum OR Trey Lyles + picks = Conley

That seems really expensive to me. Am I crazy and/or stupid?

Flame away JF!

Trading for him would almost be like giving up on Exum. I believe in Exum I envision him as a prime New Jersey Harris.
