Can't remember who was saying hell no to Naz the other day.... We'd be lucky to have him. Under-rated and getting better.

Basically everyone that chimed in on the topic were down on the prospect.

OI post some comment from Minny fan here :

1/ Amazing we got the 3 2nds! Moving D-Lo has been addition by subtraction, but Conley's defense and vet leadership has been absolutely huge, we've gone from the team constantly making dumb turnovers pre-trade to the team causing turnover problems for the other team.

Since joining the team Conley is averaging more steals (1.3) than turnovers (1.2) with a 4/1 A/T.
That's amazing.

2/We've never seen the maturity of our team like we're seeing right now.

The leadership of Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson is really something.

Dlo for Conley ad 3 2nds is the steal of the century for our team.

3/Mike Conley has been an incredible stabilizing force. People crap on Connelly, but that move may have saved our season.

4/This is the Gobert I think we should have got from the trade. He played awesome.


Which make me wonder if the last trade was a really good one. I an understand the logic, Mike is old and not part of the rebuilding future> but we make Miny better and this sucks for this year !!!

I don’t think anyone was saying “hell no” as much as “how much are we willing to pay for a guy to backup Kessler?” He’s not going to come cheap. On his current contract, great. No problem. On his next contract? Same issues as Vando. Not sure I want that next contract on my books. Just don’t think the Jazz can compete in pay, minutes and role.

Nah… people were downplaying his game. He’s worlds better than Vando. I get not wanting to pay a ton but he’d be able to get 20-25 minutes a night really easily.

I'm gonna root for the Wolves to stay in play-in hard but after the regular season ends I'm gonna root for the to win even if thats slightly bad for our long term pick prospects. I still think they will end up bad at one point when we still own their picks.

I just want to root for Conley and Rudy. Both are such classy guys who deserve good stuff.

Hes not good enough to pay (the money required to) be a backup behind two all star caliber bigs. He's good and he will find a team that needs him more.

Also ****ing hilarious you are a big Reid dick rider but can't seem to find any positive about Filipowski. Very similar prospects but Flip is more talented.

Hopefully the Jazz are able to do something impressive with the cap space acquired from the Conley trade that makes it a worthwhile trade in the immediate future then the Lakers pick materializes down the line

Yup... As already pointed out that Conley trade where we were in a position of power was a massive failure. We gave up the most of anybody by far and it's actually hurting us dearly. Didn't like it then, absolutely hate it now.

How many ever games you think the Conley trade has won Minny… times that by 1.5 or 2 and that’s how many more games it would have won us. Going from Mike to THT is a bigger downgrade than Minny upgrading from a smoking hot Dlo to Mike. There was also a real chance Mike broke down at some point… like he has multiple times the last couple years. It was still the right thing to do.

DLo is ***. You are really downplaying the upgrade in team fit from Dlo to Conley.
