The Julius Randle for Mike Conley article.

[JazzyBelle]

Because Portis is a much more consistent three point threat who can secure those boards when Rudy leaves the paint to contest those shots. Portis is not much of a shot greator compared to Randle but I do consider him as a better fit just because of his three point ability. If we can acquire him in a deal that sends Conley the other way, it makes us better as a team.

No one in there right mind think Portis is better than Randle. I don't know a single GM who would pick Bobby over Handle.

Portis barely gets minutes on the worst team in nba. That should tell you enough to stay away from him

Basketball wise, why would Randle make sense? Is he a good fit in Quin system?

He is just an average player. Bad shooter from 3. Needs the ball in his hands and lots of space in order to be effective: tends to dribble a lot before he gets momentum going into the basket. And when he gets there, he is not the greatest finisher. He is not a good defender either. Can't play the 5 really.

So, can he play next to Rudy?. He is not an ideal fit. Can he elevate this team to the next level? Nah.

He can play small bag five but people get to worked up on quin system. Doubt quin is here after next year when they miss playoffs

It's insignificant in that it wont let the Jazz do anything they cant do with Conley on the team. It in no way offers any additional avenue for the Jazz to get better, only worse.

But yes, it would save Greggy and the Millers some money;

So you want Conley gone so much even though it could affect future Free Agent signings?

Mike Conley was the biggest free agent in recent time that picked Utah and everyone wants to get rid of him./QUOTE]

We traded for Conley.

What about any of my post says I want Conley gone?

Only way jazz can make playoffs next year is if Conley can become 75 percent the player he was at Memphis.
People say stuff for all these teams but all these teams are in better spot than the jazz next year.
Lakers
Clips
Nuggets
Rockets
Warriors
Portland
Dallas


Those 7 all have superstars who can carry them deep. Mitchell a star and super star in making but he not there yet.i seen one person make up excuses for all these teams on why the jazz are better. Even heard the mavs dismissed but Donic is better than Donovan. Better playmaker for others. Jazz are going be competing with these teams next year.
Utah,Memphis,Phoenix,new orleans,Kings, minnesota. All those teams fighting for one spot. Jazz very well could miss playoffs and I know that's not popular but it's a real possibility.
Jazz need Conley for his vet leadership next year. Cp3 and OKc showed how far vet leadership can take you

 

[JazzyBelle]

Because he wanted to come here. Sure he was traded but both teams agreed before hand. Conley said he wanted to come here otherwise it never would of went down. So we shouldn't just dismiss him after one so so year where he learning a new system and coming off a major injury

Nope. His teams bleeded points with Randle as a small ball C. Look at his stats in NO without Davis on the floor (check cleaning the glass). He mostly played PF in NY but at C, he was a -2.4. He just can't protect the paint/deter shots.

uh? you are missing the point here. With Rudy and DM's extensions and Bojan, Joe, Royce on the payroll, it makes no difference whether or not Conley is here. From now on, you are looking at the draft, trades and MLE to improve the team. The salary cap is gone with or without Conley.

Technically, this summer is the last chance for a while if we have a way to dump Conley's contract.

I give the Jazz like a 5% chance of trading Conley. We'd be getting something ugly back in return and it wouldn't be worth it. It's one more year, and the season will probably be shortened anyways.
