Ugh I would not be excited if we traded all that for Conley. He's 31 and fragile. He gets hurt and this board will be on suicide watch.

I'd rather use the space for someone younger who can grow with DM and Gobert. But this "win now" mentality is the way it is now days. So whatever..

I agree with this. I'm sick of acquiring 1-2 year stopgap PGs while the FO waits for Exum to become unded and magically transform into the next Kobe. I think we're more than one piece away from contending.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

It will never not suck that the missing piece we are so desperate to find is exactly 2016-17 Gordon Hayward.

Even if Conley is hurt most of the season, we're still improved because we're not trying to force a center to play PF and we will have hopefully picked up another PG who's not Exum. And maybe Jazz leaves if Exum is gone, so there's literally no way to lose the Conley trade.

Lol, I can understand not really wanting the trade but he’ll kill it here.

But nothings been done yet. Let’s see what happens.

Jazz looked damn good when they got good point guard play out of Rubio. They looked worse on the days Rubio was ineffective.

Hindsight. No one knew of Exum's ded status until well after the deadline.

We knew of his suckiness though and his injury history

You know who is really fragile? Exum. Kawhi played all of 60 games this year after missing all of last year. Yes, different players/tiers etc. But when you throw out your best lineups, you win games. Mike Conley the basketball player is better than most of who we've had on this team for the past several years.

And those younger players? You have to draft them. They're tied up as RFAs for the first 7-8 years of their careers. Convincing someone to sign here is difficult, to say the least. You'd rather wait to strike out in a few weeks than get a sure thing?

Can the jazz just wait to strike out in free agency and then call up Memphis for a trade?

Yes, but they may not have Conley at that point. We could certainly resurrect some of those "is Parsons > Hayward" discussions.

But is the new PF just Jae Crowder getting 35+ minutes with Niang spelling him? Because that's still extremely meh.

Need a backup C too, and going from the best backup in the league to a minimum guy is tough. Rudy's health becomes unbelievably important for next year.

 

[Jingled]

I think Rudy Gay would be a great stretch 4 option for us if we get Conley. I wonder how much he would cost?
