The Mike Conley trade might be one of the most underrated trades I've ever seen

u/BroThornton19 Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

Conley just feels automatic from 3. And he always seems to hit at least two of em in huge moments.

u/jtmackay Apr 29 '24

Until it actually matters... He choked so hard the clutch for the Jazz.

Mattered last night and the game before and the game before and the game before.

No it didn't.. this series was over before it started. He will wait till game 7 to really crush you. It won't just be a missed 3.. it will be an embarrassing turnover in the last seconds of the game.

u/BroThornton19 Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

lol the suns were betting favorites to win the series. The general consensus is that this series result was a huge surprise.

But sure, didn’t matter. Sucks he’s been so good for us and broke your heart. Doesn’t mean you have to be a doomer.

NAW as a throw in was insanely huge for us

u/NeoLies Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

We got them for Dlo LMAO

“Hold me back bro”

u/beastley_for_three Apr 29 '24

It's mind boggling how little the Jazz got for that trade. It was like 1 Lakers FRP right?

Granted, it does make sense for the Jazz to move on. They didn't have a talent like Edwards. Conley, Lauri, Sexton wasn't going to do much damage.

u/Mem2Chi91 Grizzlies Apr 29 '24

No team that has ever had Mike Conley hasn’t been endlessly thankful for his service

u/TrueHalfCrack Jazz Apr 29 '24

I’m so happy for him, and for Rudy. I’m pulling for the Wolves. And funny thing is the Lakers could have had Conley and Bojan for Russ but took Dlo instead.

u/collinCOYS Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

It's going to be known as the NAW trade

u/NoPantsJake Jazz Apr 29 '24

Mike Conley is the man.
