I’d probably pass… I think this iteration of the Jazz is almost as cooked as CP. I do think CP would help our guys on court and in being competitive but I think it’s a Hail Mary and giving up any firsts that might actually convey would hurt the inevitable rebuild in pretty terrible ways.
 
I wonder what happens with Ayton… I’m going to go ahead and say he’s moved this offseason.
 
I'd obviously do it straight up, CP3 has just been a better player for too long and it's not my money. But I don't think I could justify paying more than like a second or two in value along with it. There's just a huge risk with each of them that this was their last meaningful season.

Yes, and my reasoning would be as follows:

1. This locker room (and coaching staff) is in desperate need of an ******* who will get on everyone and demand focus, even if he’s not being effective with it at all times.

2. I believe he’ll give you a better defensive presence.

3. Who are the people who can put Donovan in his place and emphasize what’s good and to keep doing, and what’s not and to stop? And who does that enough that Donovan would look up to them and respect them in some regard?

In a sense, CP3 would be filling a huge vacuum of responsibilities that are otherwise Quin’s. He’d essentially carry Quin’s load. ******** decision making down the stretch that Quin tolerates? CP won’t tolerate that.

Patrick Beverley was brutal today in his assessment of Chris Paul during First Take and Get Up with Steven A Smith. Calls him a traffic cone on defense. Says every one in the league has CP figured out and no one fears him. Said Minnesota wanted a first round match up with Phoenix. Just brutal.

The first thing I would say is that this is relative to Conley. The second thing I’d say is that this is a guy who doesn’t forget things (to the point of telling his former teammates to go TF home after eliminating them from the play in [when they weren’t the ones who traded him]) and he was previously traded for CP3.
 
This is really a question of which guy is easier to trade/which guy could you get the most for. Either guy cripples you - so it's all about trade value.

My gut says that is Paul - so probably Paul. If I were forced to keep the guy for the duration of the contract, I probably stick with Conley since Paul is significantly older, makes more money and has more years left on his deal. $30MM for that dude when he's 40? ouch.
 
Such a stupid conversation. Conley needs to be dumped for nothing so we can give the keys to Butler and let him turn into Jalen Brunson.
