"Mike Conley to Jazz" Wed Jun-19-19 01:46 PM by Frank Longo
Jazz receive Conley.
Grizz receive Grayson Allen, Jae Crowder, Kyle Korver, this year's first, and a future first that's either late lotto 2020 or 2021 or lightly protected in 2022-2024.
Good deal for both imo. For the Jazz, Conley fills a super-obvious need and makes them instantly better. He'll pair well with Mitchell. Meanwhile, I don't think the Grizz were getting better than two firsts, last year's first, and a role player like Crowder for two years of a 32-33 year old PG, even one as good as Conley. They're deep in a rebuild around Morant and Jackson, so young assets are the name of the game.

Rockets are likely moving out of the second round. Who knows who things shake out with the Warriors next season. The Jazz could well be a difficult match-up for anyone.

last year I feel like they were a second-round team who underachieved a bit, and now they just got better. we'll see what their bench looks like in the end and also how everything else moves around in the west.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

If you're ever interested, tune in, there are some really good players you may recognize there from when they played against Maryland the last several years.

They turned Jaylen Brown from a terrible shooter into an okay-to-fine shooter, and they got Terry Rozier to make shots for a three month stretch once. Maybe they could get a similar stretch out of Rubio.

I don't think Memphis was getting any great roster players here. Two firsts that will be in the 10-20 range most likely sounds about right. For Utah they give up a fair amount of depth here to make the salaries match, but I imagine they have an idea of how to fill out their rotation.

If he was in the east he would have made at least 5 all star games
As his OKP agent, it’s been an honor

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
