Set aside the salary, and I personally do think Conley would be a positive on the floor in Dallas. To the point that even in the likely situation a trade doesn't happen, I could easily see Dallas being interested in him as a FA next season (at a much lower salary). They've expressed interest in the past, and he's the type of veteran leader, perimeter defender, and secondary ballhandler they need.
That said, the salary is a legit problem this season. And considering age and trajectory I also prefer THJ in general. But in a hypothetical mega-deal with Gobert and Conley both coming back, I think Dallas would be happy to have him.
