Favors+Clarkson+Conley (20mm)= 40mm
Jrich+Kleber= 20mm
20 mil of savings can be a monstrous difference maker, especially if the guys they're getting back are only a slight downgrade. It could be an appealing option if the Jazz are trying their hardest to not cross over into the repeater tax.
Now if the Jazz aren't really interested in what the Mavs have to offer and Conley still wants to come of course sign the dude outright and figure out where to trade THJ for a modest return.
You need to make up your mind what type of deal you have in mind. But none of those is of value in getting Conley.
Your prior post proposed: "maybe a package of Kleber+THJ for Clarkson+Conley" -- and that's not gonna work capwise.
This latest post isn't the same trade at all. It goes in a completely different direction and doesn't really mean anything re Conley. - "Favors+Clarkson+Conley FOR Jrich+Kleber" is a trade package where Mavs are literally using cap room to get Conley, so no one will put him in that trade -- instead, he just signs (or doesn't) with Dallas, end of story.
The Jazz really have no good way to sign Conley to the money he would want, unless they want to be buried deep in tax, and that was Hollinger's point. That problem is an issue for BOTH keeping him and also for trading him (since matching salary comes back).
