It looks like we know now what’s holding up the deal. Utah’s willing to send their 1st rounder, but unwilling to send a 2021 1st rounder. Memphis is asking for 2(!!!) 1st round draft picks. Which seems incredibly steep. Memphis knows Utah is desperate to add third piece, it’s testing if Utah is that desperate to mortgage their future for a better present.
Little bit more on this... Sources say Jazz are pretty pessimistic about this year’s draft, so pretty willing to add the 2019 1st to conversations. But thought is that Memphis can probably get a better selection than Utah’s for Conley, so question is whether they add 2021 #1 too.
