Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

You aren’t. The problem is you want to be a contrarian and have confirmation bias. Why would anyone trust you to have a non-biased take on Sexton?

Saying Conley is a better defender than Sexton, a guy who has a terrible defensive reputation, is now contrarian?

Yall are such losers lmao.

You’re obviously not the only one who believes that. You’re not being a contrarian about this topic. My point was why should we trust you to be non-biased about Sexton? It’s hard to take anything you say about him with face value.

He does play hard but does it in bursts… a few times a game I see him drift or have an opportunity to sprint back on D and instead he jogs.

I like him and a few times he’s definitely been helpful by being more physical than Mike. I think overall Mike is better on defense… both guys are obviously limited due to size. Collins good moments are generally louder than Mikes because he’s a blunt force object.

Lol come on now… I’ve seen Conley jog back too.

This year has been a best case scenario with Conley, imo. Just a few months ago it looked like we would have to attach assets to him in order to trade him, now we'll likely get a decent return for him. If we can get something for him now it's probably time to move on from him, I don't like the idea of paying him $24M next year at age 36.

I have to say, as the deadline approaches, I'm more and more on the fence about trading Mike away. At the start of the season I thought he would have a good season, and my hope is he would play his way in to netting us some assets. Now, I feel like I would miss the way our offense looks when he is playing too much. I also like the idea of drafting Cason Wallace or Anthony Black and having Mike mentor them for a season/half season.

I do think he helps us win games, and so I think the balance is:

assets we can get for him + better draft position + cap space + development time for NAW/THT - aesthetically pleasing basketball - mentorship - losing a good human being from our team

One way to look at it is like this: If our offense gets incredibly worse and we suck as a team without Mike Conley then that means we are gonna need a lot of help soon (due to mikes age) so might as well trade him and take the hit while increasing our draft pick to get us the help we will need anyways regardless of whether we trade Mike or not.

Who becomes the primary ball handler if we trade Mike? That'd be my biggest concern.

Who becomes the primary ball handler long term when mike is gone anyways in the future. Might as well figure that our right now in this season. If sexton or THT or clarkson or NAW do a great job then cool. If they suck and we lose more games because of mikes absence then cool. We now have a better pick to draft the primary ball handler to replace Mike that we will eventually need anyway whether mike is traded or not.

That is correct. We can’t have anyone under 6’5 going forward.

The great Toronto experiment.

In other news, the heel turn on Nick Nurse's public perception this year has been drastic, similar to Brad Stevens two years ago and Sean McVay. Still think he is a good coach, but we are so quick to label someone a wunderkind, when they can be on the hot seat within a season
