Off-season 2020 Conley Trade Ideas

I didn't put a CP3 deal because I dont want to see that considered. CP3 just makes too much money.

Remember, the premise of this thread is built around a shrinking cap and our FO need to shed money if they can. That's why expirings like Snell, Batum and others are being considered. The Philly deal is in there because I think it's more unpredictable.

The purpose of a team is to win. I want the best possible players and best possible team. Idc if a talented player gets paid. I'm not a grandma going to costco with my coupons here. Mike Conley is a talented player. Chris Paul is a talented player. Tony Snell and Nic Batum? Not so much. If we're going that route why don't we just trade Rudy, Donovan, Bojan and the rest too. The team will suck but hey our cap will be gorgeous.
 
Conley and the 1st rd pick for Chris Paul would be highway robbery... Chris Paul was the most clutch player in the league this season. what part of that don't y'all understand?


Utah just throws away 1st rd picks on PG's anyways, all decade long... At least with CP3 u get a 1st ballot hof'er

Of course I want to win, but my deals are doing the math. If the cap were to go down, Conley's deal might get in the way of keeping Clarkson. To me, Clarkson is a vital piece going forward.

Although the cap is supposedly in place for next season, I don't think anyone can know that for sure. Look at baseball. If the cap goes down and we have to dump Conley's contract to make sure we keep Clarkson, I do it without hesitation.

Chris Paul should not be considered. I just don't think he makes is that much better. If the cap goes down in 2021-22 when he's making $40+, we will regret him big time.

This remaining NBA "season" might be one of the most important in team history.

Gobert - does he dominate? If not, do we trade him before a regrettable contract?

Conley - does he impress during the playoffs to change the narrative on him since we got him?

Clarkson - how does he play in this stretch? Do we keep him?

Youth - does anybody step up in the absence of Bojan to create a future role with the team?

I'm just glad they are playing. If we had gone into an offseason without these answers, we could have made poor, uninformed decisions.

Just an FYI... from what I understand the cap next year will be similar to the projected number given already... so it won't be changed from its projection much. The following year there will be a decline and they could do some "smoothing" to make it not a giant decline.

Under that scenario I do think Philly would be interested in moving on from Harris... they have like $150M committed that year already.

If I thought we could get close enough to give us a title shot by trading for CP I'd have done it earlier this year. Now... IDK... Losing the playoff run this year sucks... who knows if he sticks with his diet and conditioning.

If the cap stays the same, then a deal like Snell doesn't make too much sense for us unless we are doing other big deals. The same could be said for the Batum deal, unless we really like Monk.

I find it very hard to believe that the salary cap and luxury limit increase as expected. Maybe the numbers stay the same, but I think everything goes down at least a little due to lost revenue.

I feel like Clarkson is a good bet. He was super consistent off the bench and can actually play in our system. He just turned 28 and I've been a Clarkson homer for a while so do it, Utah.

You guys gotta prepare yourselves for the “this is Utah, we resurrect old *** players” narrative. “Conley hasn’t had time here to really get into what the training staff can give him.” He’s bound to improve light years.

Because he’s a “great dude” the Jazz choose not to trade him to a place he doesn’t want to go. He then sucks *** again next year and leaves for nothing. Worst case - even though he’s a “great dude”, he still chooses to talk about how he hated it here.

This is probably spot on.

This.

They just had what, another 4 or 6 NBA players test positive, including Jokic? They have no way of knowing who is carrying the virus, typhoid Mary style. They are then going to bring all these players into close contact with each other? What do they expect? I imagine we will still see this season cancelled, or you are going to see a lot of top players choosing to sit out.

Either way it will be a farce. But hey, maybe we have a chance at the farce championship!

Farce championship is better than no championship.
