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

[Ineptimusprime]

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

Yeah, would hate to forgo a 0 to 5 percent chance of signing Tobias or Kemba to trade for someone who makes us instantly better and allows us to operate over the cap in FA.

If Memphis will do a deal, you do the goddamn deal.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

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.

I feel zero sympathy for them... they had a chance to get a transcendent talent at a position of need and went for the local kid. They dumb AF and don’t deserve to win again.

The Lakers are so damn lucky... every year those assholes avoid giving a pick or move up.

Atlanta got the shaft... played it the right way... didn’t tank... both picks moved back... sucks.

But he’s not in his 20s so he can’t possibly be good at basketball

Tony Jones says Jazz can’t get Harris and Conley... if not. Damnit

Conley doesn't make us a contender. Haven't you learned that it's not worth it to trade a 1st round pick or two for a PG? Hill, now Rubio, and now Conley? All three injury prone. The only good thing about Hill and Rubio is that they made $15 or less. Imagine the outrage when we're out in the 1st or 2nd round again but we're paying Conley $36 million in 2020-21.

Pass on Conley.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

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.


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.

Bruh if he gets hurt they won’t be able to move the contract... if he plays well he can opt out and leave them for nothing... next year lots of teams have space and there aren’t many free agents. So a guy like Conley could get less per year but more years and choose their destination.

So they can move him now or get nothing or pay an injured guy a bunch of money... keeping him would be dumb AF but I wouldn’t put it past them.

I'd bet the Jazz don't pull the trigger unless it's overwhelmingly in their favor OR Kemba and others have informed the Jazz they won't sign with them. Might be more of a last chance option. A playmaking guard >>>>> some stretch 4.

He doesn’t know bruh... you think he has a ****ing Jazz salary spreadsheet like me... he doesn’t. I do. We’d have to cobble together a bunch of salary after signing Tobias but we have enough... it’s also close enough that we could involve an additional team to help make ends meet.

You have to sign Harris then trade for Conley... can’t do it the other way around.

 

[One Brow]

the advanced metrics on him are really positive...

The advanced metrics on Olynyk have him barely better than Crowder and well below Favors.

Pass on Conley.

It's not even comparable because Conley is in a totally different class than Hill or Rubio. Conley is a legit all star caliber player. He would give us exactly what we need, another playmaker off the dribble that can create his own shot and give us 20 points a game. Plus he's a good passer and shooter, great in the pick and roll and doesn't turn the ball over.

 

[SCS]

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

If Grizzlies call around the draft and say "hey Conley is available in trade" then you jump on the chance to get him. I agree that Kemba or Tobias would be better options for us all things being equal. But things aren't equal. It is going to be very hard to get one of those guys in free agency. You take what you can get. We cannot afford to strikeout.

 

[SCS]

Conley (if healthy) definitely makes us a contender. I still don't know if we beat the very top teams in the league. But we would have a much better chance with Conley than with Rubio/Favors.

And imagine if we get Conley, the Warriors lose Durant, the Rockets blow up, the Celtics lose Kyrie, the 76ers lose a piece or two and nobody else improves greatly. We're right there in that scenario.
