If it’s swapping Mozgov/Fournier for Conley at the cost of the 16th pick, I’m not totally opposed
Conley is a nice 2 way PG that’s a plus shooter with leadership ability.. also I don’t think he would have **** his pants in the playoffs like the rest of the team. I could see Clifford loving Conley
His leadership would be great. But I am going to go moreso for seeing what we have. The experience of clawing their way from the bottom and into the playoffs was already a feat they will use to carry on into the next season. And the anguish found in utter defeat will also do just as much of the same depending on their personalities and how they handle that defeat. The other thing that would be important is how they view Fultz. We are out here throwing spitballs in the wind thinking we are going to hit the target... "Is he still injured?" "Why is he still out?"... "IS HE MENTALLY BROKEN?!?!?!"... and they know what's going on. If they are legit taking their time with him and know their expect projections for him.... there is no use throwing another obstacle in the kids way. I'd rather have DJ as the starter with the knowledge that he can happily slide over if fultz starts budding or blooms.
And if he buds.... this is a totally different team than last year... especially when you throw in a quality and complimentary pick.
getting conley if it is indeed Moz/Fournier and 16 would be a damn good deal... They could realistically hold Fultz out all year and let him "take his time" since DJ would be a very solid 1-2 punch with Conley.
I agree, it totally takes the pressure of Fultz and the FO.
If Fultz is healthy and playable, the FO just flips DJ asap. If Fultz continues to be hurt and things get iffy with him, they ride DJ out and its a solid 1-2 punch that will keep a consistent floor leader on the floor for both units which is good for the young guys.
It even stretches their window to be patient with Fultz for another additional full season.
