Because these Froobs believe that jeff Teague has a lot of appeal to teams that project to have bad records.

Because if they keep the vets they got in the trade they can try and give it a go and an expiring PG is kind of what the team needs.

Charlotte can pay him the most money , so I'm guessing he stays there

They're solid percentages for a role player that still provides defense.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:32 amThose are not good percentages. Keep in mind those are regular season averages. His playoff numbers are normally worse.Oriole81 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:29 amPoor shooter? Last year he was 40% total FG%, 33% on 3s at a rate of 6.5 per game. For a bench player that plays okay defense (I would say better than okay) that's someone that any playoff team would want.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:20 am
Korver is a nice piece to get a 2nd.
I will 100% disagree on Crowder. Okay defense and poor shooter.
I'm not talking about Memphis getting a huge haul or anything for the guy, but he's definitely movable for future assets.
And his sample size in the playoffs is too small for it to be considered statistically worse.
In 2018, his playoff FG% fell to .370, but it's back to his regular season .400 clip if he makes 1.4 more of the shots he took. If he makes one more of the 3s that he took in the playoffs, his .300 clip goes to his .333 regular season clip.

Let's see what their FA plan is first before you project them to have a bad record.

What in Memphis' history has made you think they are going to tank (including this trade that brings back vets). They have a ton of money in FA as well. So, do I know for sure what they will do, no, but neither do you.

They have $21 million in cap space and competing against hte big franchises in the free agent market. The just traded their best player for future assets. What do you think their FA plan is?

Their plan should be to sell that space for whatever assets they can get and wait until next year when they will have huge space to spend. And they will.

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
Did our division actually get tougher though from this move? Conley is awesome....but he's a lock to miss double digit games every year and he's turning 32 basically to start the season. Again, love his talent.....but he is on the down swing and he's officially injury prone. Not saying they won't be better with him on the court, I'm sure they will be....but I don't trust him being on the court for the majority of the year.

Yep. Acquire assets. This is particularly important because they have a future first owed to Boston that is top-6 protected in 2020 and unprotected in 2021. This is one of the hottest assets in the market.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 12:03 pmTheir plan should be to sell that space for whatever assets they can get and wait until next year when they will have huge space to spend.

not sure i fully understand the angle for Jazz....but i do like what we are going to see. The injuries to GS opens a unique window. Gonna see alot of teams going for it....should be a fun draft night and free agency/trade offseason.

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
That's what I'm saying. Last 3 years they've won 50, 48, 51 games. They were already a clear step above us and improved even more for the short term. Losing Korver and Crowder sucks but the massive upgrade from Rubio to Conley negates all that and then some.Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 12:22 pmLol.

We weren't going to be competing with Utah so it doesn't really make it tougher for us. It'd be like adding Conley to the Nuggets (or some comparable player), what does that matter to the Wolves?

Depends on how big of a deal it is. But it would average out to about a 2nd. Just like Crabbe.

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
Memphis got a sweetheart deal here. Conley was only holding them back from the rebuild. Couple expiring players, an ok prospect and 2 picks for a broken down anchor.
