One less team in on Russell!
Nice trio of players with Conley, Mitchell, and Gobert.

The Memphis 2020 first round pick Boston has became much more valuable. It is top 6 protected in 2020 but unprotected in 2021.

So the only way we could have beat that if Utah preferred getting 11 to a lottery protected pick enough to take on Dieng for an extra year.

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
Very good trade for Utah. They know they aren’t a destination for free agents so they have to acquire players by trade. Conley and Mitchell will be a very good back court.

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
I don't think it is a good deal. They might be worse. Like you said they are not a FA destination. They gave up a lot for a team that needs to build via the draft, but there is blood in the water in a more open West. They gambled. Memphis came away the winners. They will draft Ja and get a vet PG while adding some key players and a second rookie this year.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:57 amVery good trade for Utah.

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
Jrowder and Korver are bench vets that will help you and they will get a Vet PG. I don't think they take much of a step back if any and Utah might be worse...marginally...OliverMiller wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:03 amThe only thing of real value was the 23rd pick and that's a crapshootSO_MONEY wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:02 amI don't think it is a good deal.

Great deal for Memphis... assuming that future first doesn't have too many protections.

Korver's $7M is only partially guaranteed so they could flip him to a team needing to shave off a few million more, and Crowder is a great fit for any playoff team and his salary is still super affordable so it's not hard to put together a deal for him even if you're a playoff team that's capped out.

I will 100% disagree on Crowder. Okay defense and poor shooter.

I mean he's going to make 100 million to be an average point guard for 10+ years. Damn straight it's time to be happy

Re: Utah Has Acquired Mike Conley
Poor 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 amKorver is a nice piece to get a 2nd.Oriole81 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:14 amKorver and Crowder are good trade pieces actually.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:03 am

I'm not talking about Memphis getting a huge haul or anything for the guy, but he's definitely movable for future assets.
