[QUOTE]Ya that's kinda of my fear. Overpay for Conley and then when DM hits max, Jazz will be in a bad spot.
Look at a guy like Siakam. 27th pick and is not hitting his stride. Middleton was a 2nd round pick by the Pistons.

I always feel like the Jazz are alway behind the curb and have poor foresight. Signing Big Al to a big contract (at the time), Mo Williams, even if you want to say Rubio. None are bad players, but they are tapped out in terms of developing. They are what they are. Those types of players should only be supplemental and not foundational. Conley will make 35M when DM is on max. Rudy 26M. That is like 90M on 3 players.

Posted by Mr. Moundshroud on May 22, 2019 | 11:36 PM[/QUOTE]

At least know what you are talking about. Conley's contract ends same time as Gobert and Mitchell's rookie deal. A big reason he makes so much sense. They didn't sign Jefferson or Rubio. Traded for their crappy deals.

3 pretty good players

[QUOTE]In 2014, Utah selected wing Rodney Hood with the No. 23 overall pick in the draft.

He is currently in his fifth NBA season with the Portland Trail Blazers.[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't say he has the best resume. Koufos makes more money right now. Stephenson became a starting 3 and D player. Hood at best is a 6th man

[QUOTE]For the season, Gobert averaged 15.9 points, 12.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2 assists per game. The points, rebounds and assists numbers were career-highs for the 2013 draft pick. His .669 field goal percentage led the NBA.

According to the Jazz public relations staff, Gobert joins Karl Malone, John Stockton, Adrian Dantley and Deron Williams as the only players in team history to earn multiple All-NBA honors while with the squad.

Gobert is also the first player in the league since Wilt Chamberlain in the 1966-67 season to score at least 1,200 points and pull down at least 1,000 rebounds, according to the Jazz, and is the first player since Artis Gilmore during the 1981-82 season to average over 15 points per game on at least 65 percent shooting while also averaging at least 10 rebounds and at least two blocks per contest.[/QUOTE]

But let's keep talking about how great Mitchell, Snyder and Lindsey are! :rant

[QUOTE]Gobert is certain to not be worth at least the last three years of that contract
which means the contract is only worth it if he can provide enough excess value on the front end to justify the lag in production coming in the later years. I have a very hard time seeing that, even as much as I adore Rudy and think he has earned his way into top-tier compensation. The question is not whether he deserves the money (he absolutely does), it
