I think it is very different to ask someone to take JRich into cap space than trading him. I can't remember a deal where someone took a player into cap space without getting a compensation. Even if it was a one year. Sort of similar as Cleveland removing protection from Milwaukee pick. Milwaukee had to pay for it despite the fact removing protection was better for Cle.
Utah would be taking him because it might be better for them to at least have him than nothing, if Conley decides to go.

Totally agree with that.
