I think he'd be worth quite a bit on this team, personally. He's not as good as he once was, but his impact would be similar to what they were trying to achieve by chasing Kyle Lowry last season.
If he's not a fit for many teams, that's kind of a good thing, imo, because it means maybe you can get him for just a salary match. Didn't work out like this when Dragic was in Toronto, but sometimes these old warriors without a super high value get moved just to accommodate them, out of respect for who they are and what they've meant to the league. Sometimes.
Totally agree. As bad as he was in the playoffs, he had a really good season. It seems crazy to me to let one playoff series define a player that has been so good for so long including his prior playoff series and the regular season.
I think you would have to pull the trigger on a Timmy + Green (I would prefer Frank) for Conley deal. Does Utah go for that? Don't they already have too many players?
It would be kind of shitty to Timmy. He signs for less here and then we ship him off to a tanking Utah team a year later.
