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

He’s prolly just telling the truth now... it isn’t like they are advertising this or they told Tony to say it.

The flip flopping takes away any credibility

Nah, Tony's by far the most credible Jazz reporter. He probably just got some new info on Exum in the past few days.

Tony likes Dante. "Sadly"

Good PR (and group manipulation) makes it so people believe they reached the conclusion before the leader/boss/organization made the decision.

Also good PR to leak a bit of info to test the audience response while you can still back off, and let the rumours stew because most people today overeact in negative ways when facing new information.

You guys need to read the rest of Tony’s timeline. I think you’re misinterpreting that tweet

Do people know that Mike Conley was better than Jrue Holiday last year? Just curious.

Meh, I don't think Conley's slightly better regular season over Jrue is enough to outweigh Conley's health/contract situation and Jrue being a much more versatile matchup tool when it comes to playoff time on the defensive end. We saw him literally take Lillard out of a series on the way to sweeping the Blazers for example.

Speaking of Conley though



I haven't done the cap calculations yet but does anyone know if there's a world where the Jazz could sign Tobias outright and then trade for Conley?

Conley is a goner. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to be part of a rebuild especially when Moran’s is the future.

Or Grizzly are bluffing to increase picks trade value

Conley is better

Health doesnt matter for Utah PGs. The position is cursed, so whoever is PG will get injured no matter what.

Financially, it could happen.

Renounce/waive Favors, Rubio, Neto, Thabo and Udoh.

Sign Tobias ($32.7 million max)

Guarantee Korver's contract because it would be needed to make the salaries work with Memphis better than his nonguaranteed $3.5.

Trade Exum, Korver, Crowder, and Bradley ($28 million) for Conley ($34).

We might also have to waive or trade Niang ($1.6) to fit all this, but it does seem financially possible.

So we’d have Gobert, Harris, Ingles, Mitchell, Conley and Allen?
