(And as we saw disastrously for the Mavs with DAJ) So even if Conley says he's coming here, that's not the end, it's the beginning. THJ would likely find a new team during the moratorium as well and then there'd be time to work on a 3-way trade if possible. It seems to me it would certainly be better for Utah to gain a large trade exception vs. just losing Conley for nothing.
I agree with this. We saw Boston pulling it off and they even paid Charlotte an asset to do them a favour.
