Jazz Offering Ricky Rubio, Derrick Favors, FRP To Grizzlies For Mike Conley 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 6, 2019 4:03 pm

The Utah Jazz are attempting to acquire Mike Conley from the Memphis Grizzlies.


The Jazz are offering Ricky Rubio, Derrick Favors and one first round pick.


The Jazz believe Conley would be an ideal fit in the backcourt alongside Donovan Mitchell.


The Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons also have interest in Conley.

Lol wtf, that's so much, Conley isn't much better than Rubio + he's older and that contract lol. That's a bad deal for Jazz.

This is the kiss of death on this deal...

When was the last time a trade leaked out that actually happened?

This looks to just be a salary dump by Memphis, as neither Rubio or Favors would factor into their future.

Contract aside, Conley would be a great addition to Utah.

Stop it..he's way better then Rubio. When was the last time we've talked about Rubio being an All-Star snub? Conley one every year all most. Yes, his contract is terrible but we're talking about the Jazz..they ain't get any FA's. Good trade for both teams.

This has to be fake news. The Jazz won’t publish potential trades until they are done. And if a potential trade gets leaked they pull out of the deal.

I want to see this get done but would like to see the Jazz retain Favors or else they create a need at PF. Jae Crowder and Niang are not good enough to be our full-time PF combo. Even out of position at the 4 spot Favors is more valuable to us than rolling with the other two all the time. If Grizz want to tank hard maybe they'd be convinced to take on Exum instead...

Not sure why the Grizzlies are not all over this.
