It’s no secret that the biggest offseason addition last summer for the Utah Jazz was supposed to be Mike Conley. After the rumored deal failed to materialize at the 2019 trade deadline, Utah went out and got their guy ahead of the 2019 NBA draft. And boy, did Conley cost a pretty penny.
Utah gave up Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder, as well as two draft picks in order to acquire the Memphis star. Dennis Lindsey has compared Memphis giving up Conley to the Jazz trading Stockton in his prime, because that is how beloved Conley was to the city of Memphis.
