Maybe... just don't put the blunder in the driver seat... bring him off the bench and limit the minutes... he might be effective in that role.
I don’t see the jazz taking on that much money for that many years and also, he’s probably about to fall off a cliff soon possibly.
He’s not awful. He’s functional and is one of the most versatile centers as far as protecting the paint and guarding on the perimeter. We’d also get other stuff in the deal because of his contract. The money is very likely too problematic.
He’s still useful, but starting to break down and he’s got I think 3 more years on a max deal or something.
Not sure he’s breaking down. Doesn’t have a max deal but it’s at like 27M a year for two more years with a third year that is 50% guaranteed. It’s too spendy for us unless we let traded Rudy or if he left. If the cap was not going to dip it’d be a consideration (we’d get a couple picks in a deal too) but in the current environment it’s too spendy.
If we had to trade Gobert (he's leaving or demands super max), Conley for Horford has some logic to it. Sure Horford is overpaid and getting old, but he is a good player. We need good players. Do I love it? No. Next year, Horford makes a ton less than Conley so there's also that.
