Trade deadline discussion

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Donovan was unhealthy for the entire series. And it's not the first time Conley flopped in the most important game of the season.
He did exactly the same thing a season ago in G7 against Denver. He was healthy too

*Sidenote* People are way too excited about Jerami Grant. Two first is way too much for a guy who was simply mediocre to average in his last playoff run.

Be careful posting facts; some around here might start calling you names.

Context and nuance only confuse the likes of Lopo and Jom. Their little baby heads might explode if they have to consider more factors than if a loss or win happened while Conley was playing or not playing.

Did Mike Conley play? Yes
Did the Jazz lose? Yes
Therefore it was because of Mike Conley

This is basic logic you guys.

well i didn't say a single thing about trading Conley for Grant.

All I said was that "guys defending Conley here is thinking he's Chris Paul."

that's all there needed to be said.

That's why its a *sidenote* genius.

You and Lopo are truly something else.

Lol. Sure. That's what we said.

I mean c'mon. The argument is simple:

Conley is good
but
Conley doesn't put us over the top

In the mind of many, we gave up way more to get Conley than what we got.

The Denver game sucked. At the same time, it was an especially weird year. The bubble. Mike's wife had just delivered a baby. Games had been postponed because of violence against Black men yet again. I'm fine seeing that as an anomaly and not an overall reflection of hid abilities since the Jazz have performed better overall when Mike plays—healthy—than without him.

When are you going to post something that's more than just your opinion?

There are no facts that support that we have been a better playoff team with Conley than without.

now you just making excuses for a player who's won nothing in his career. I mean this Mike Conley fandom, i get it. He's a good player and an important player for the Jazz. But if there's a chance to trade him for Paul or Holiday, would you do it? simple question

 

[Elizah Huge]

Lmao Cy just absolutely ****ing destroying dudes in this thread. Some of the funniest **** I’ve read in awhile.

 

[LogGrad98]

Of course we are better with Mike on the floor, there is no doubt. He is a top-tier player, near-all-star, and plays a role that is important for us.

None of this means he was the best acquisition nor the best fit nor what we really needed. None of this means we didn't overpay for the privilege of having the smallest defensively-challenged back-court in the NBA. We should have had a different target, as good and as likeable as Mike is. He just isn't what we needed. Swap Mike for, idk Brown or Grant, or even Brogdon and add an adequate PG and we would be well ahead of where we are now.

Because it's absurd. You can't seriously tell me the Jazz are better without Conley than with him. You have a pea brain dude.
