Unless he ends up as part of a Westbrook trade, I’m actually pretty curious to see how Malik Beasley fits into things.
Is it?

Not really. He's on the team until he's not on the team.
God, this is going to be a fun year. Having no expectations or grandeur of competing and seeing how the new guys do feels like having a weight lifted off your shoulder as a fan. Only question is what happens the next four weeks or so with our vets.

Conley may be the vet that wants to stay. I wouldn't be surprised. Older kids make change less desireable.

As long as the Jazz prioritize developing the young guys. I still think Bogey, Conley and Beasley are all traded before the deadline and they’ll buy out Rudy Gay about then as well.
Of course Conley is there. I would think that his kids are in school here so there isn't anywhere else he is going to be. I also expect him to be in great shape because he is the consummate pro and he knows the best way to compete for a championship at his age is to play well to start the season and build some trade value. If he is on the team to start the season then I think we keep him in the 24-28 minute a game range which gives him enough minutes to show out and stay fresh while also leaving minutes for some of the other guards to gain experience.

I think most on this board are seriously sleeping on Beasley. He was genuinely contrite about his legal action. He has a chip on his should and wants to redeem himself. Its a good combination to gamble on a player in this situation and his talent. I think we could leverage him into a much bigger asset down the road.
Nickeil was just bringing the ball up. It's not like Conley got broken down or anything.
Looks like: Agbaji, Nickeil, Butler, Conley, Juzang and Kessler...
Conley would be a good mentor for Collin Sexton, btw. Sexton could learn a lot about running sets from Mike.
