Poll: Should the Conley Experiment End?

[Isaiah 1:13]

Did we give up too much for Conley? I’d say hell to the yeah. There are lots of good solid p.g.s out there not making what Conley is - Alex Caruso would’ve been the steal of the century. That being said, I don’t really see Mountain Mike as the main issue.

The real issue for me has been clearing out Faves and our version of the twin towers to make more room for Gobert to be our offensive centerpiece inside. I’d like to see some stats on how many passes to Gobert this season result in turnovers. Also, how many more points in the paint our opponents are getting

Terrible way to end Conleys career

Oh Jesus, **** you. Are you serious with this garbage? Yeah, he’s mediocre and been a shaky fit with the starters but let’s just keep him in the starting lineup to placate him because God forbid we upset an aging veteran who’s been on our team a whole eight months, even though he’s said he’ll do what’s best for the team. Seriously? We have to kowtow to mediocre players now? Take that **** elsewhere and file it under g for garbage, bruh.

That is what is currently happening (well by your opinion). So why isn't this a narrative yet. Say the Jazz benched Conley to get him to not pick up the last year of his contract... Do you think we'd hear about that? He just got benched and its a tweet and Shams story...

Mudiay champions need to realize that Mike has still been better than him... even though he's sucked by his own standards. And there is long history of much better performance with Mike... there is no coach in the NBA that would be playing Mudiay over Mike... none.

I didn't say or even mean exclusively Conley. There are plenty of players playing below their potential.

 

[DasJazz]

Looks like the Ingles experiment is going to end.

 

[Miggs]

You want to retain your good players. We did sign Bojan this offseason, Mudiay came here because he wanted to be here... you don't want to be the organization that tried to bench Mike Conley in an failed effort to get him to not pick up his option. Especially here in Utah where its an up hill battle.

Its a stupid strategy/idea.

You’re using Mudiay as an example. Jesus Christ.

He asked I gave Bojan and Mudiay... the poster in question thinks very highly of Mudiay... so that is part of why I used it... sometimes when people play chess it looks dumb to checkers people.

this is pathetic. i was waiting for the conley homer to say something like "he won MVP/FMVP award" or "he was an allstar" something down those lines. but best thing you guys can pull from his career is "teammate of the year". sports franchise are ran to compete, no to reward guys for being nice human beings. save that for charity.

Conley made some 3's but his presence on the floor in other ways really hurts the Jazz. He sucks on defense, and the way he runs the offense he doesn't involve other guys. Sometimes Donovan takes bad shots but at least he involves other guys including Mike. But can you think of a time Mike finds Donovan? Mike has got to go. Many of us have been saying this a long time. How long is it going to take for the Jazz to realize it? Probably until next season.

Conley puts us asleep and our shooters out of rythim and on defense is a midget

his lack of vision and missing the feed to rudy on multiple possessions also worth a mention.

This is like just your opinion man. Your post is stupid. How about them apples?

You haven't provided adequate examples to back your point that the good will this organization has payed dividends.

Let's reavaluate Bogey in a year before we consider he's worth more than his contract. And regardless, he may have signed here because we offered him the most money. Our good will may have had nothing to do with it.

And as I've said before, any of the goodwill we built by resurrecting Mudiay's career was completely shot after he proved how valuable he became in our system and Quin benched him.

We're the nicest organization in the league, and Hayward still left.

It would be cool if you would provide real examples of how we are putting all of our good will to good use before calling my idea stupid.

It's a 45M dollar loss, but the Jazz should really just cut Mike, I mean they wasted about the same amount on Grosstertag. And I liked the idea of Mike and was for the trade since Rubio was not going to get us anywhere. But, I was so over it before trade deadline, had admitted I was wrong, and was hoping they would do something since it was obvious that it just wasn't a fit chemistry/defense wise. If they keep him this whole year, it might end up costing them Mitchell. It's already going to be tough due to the draw of brighter lights. If Mike got released, I think it would help Joe who started unbelievably slow and faded. What would really help Joe though, is earning his 15M by working in the offseason to stay in shape, maybe even do a plyometric or two to increase his otherworldy 2" vertical, so that he actually has enough gas to try for the occasional rebound. It's possible Golden State will have a better record than Utah post AS break if this freak show continues.
