You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

I don’t want Conley. Although he would help I fear he would be George Hill 2.0. Hurt more than he plays

I agree. By trading for Conley, we lose every chance to sign Tobias or Kemba or any other. Pass on Conley.

I'm really interested to see what this means for Kyle Kuzma and Julius Randle.

All depends on AD right? I just read a report that AD still wants out. If I had to guess, NOLA trades AD to NY for #3, NY 2021, and something else.

Jrue, Barrett (#3), Zion, Randle and somebody like JJ Redick.

It means neither can shoot 3’s very well

It definitely seems Conely to the Jazz is much more likely now, which is definitely a good thing.

New odds are so dumb.

They may be dumb but it’s way better then what was before.

I don’t trade Conley yet if I’m the Grizz. Wait for a better offer. If the Hornets lose Kemba, maybe they trade for him.

I agree. If I was Phoenix, I would be pissed. Going from 2nd to 6th has to be the harshest lottery results ever right?

The Bulls too. People who get pissed at tanking are dumb. The worst team has almost never won the 1st pick anyway. And there are times when there are legit really bad teams who deserve a top 1 or 2 pick.

I completely disagree. The Lakers were close to getting Zion or Morant. They were clearly not that bad of a team and deserving of such.

It also makes tanking a riskier path and I’m for that.

Uh they’ve had plenty of top 5 picks. And blown just about all of them. It was supposed to discourage tanking, it’s a great result if that’s what you want.

Memphis is going to keep Conley. I think their luck in the lottery makes it more likely they keep him. Sure, Morant is a PG, but he's a rookie. And JJJr is still young and raw. There is no reason to trade the team's only quality leader in order to get a late first round pick. The Griz cap situation is screwed anyway due to Parsons. They should groom Morant, win some games, and then just ride out Conley's deal. #23 and expirings isn't worth trading his experience and leadership.

I said a 2020 pick... plus they could route Crowder somewhere for assets... they can also save real money by operating at or near the floor... nevermind the cap implications.

When you are rebuilding you grab every asset you can... one pick this year then taking a bad contract with that 30M the following year gets you another pick... they can sign a guy like Vince Carter to be a leader.

Also Conley is pissed they did Bickerstaff dirty... so keep a somewhat disgruntled vet... I’m sure he’d be really pleased to waste what is left of his prime grooming his replacement.

Every asset counts... they need to do the best they can.
