Utah Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey and his brain trust have reportedly been aggressive in their attempts to upgrade the team’s roster ahead of Wednesday’s NBA trade deadline. To that end, Memphis Grizzlies point-man Mike Conley has been a key figure in trade talks. However, Utah’s apparent pursuit of Conley may have hit some snags.
First, it was reported that the Grizzlies were seeking multiple first-round picks in potential deals; that’s likely more than the Jazz have offered. Now, it’s being reported that Conley is less than interested in playing in Utah and would prefer a move to the Eastern Conference.
