2022-23 regular season. The Tank begins...

After the organization dealt its prized guard (Donovan Mitchell) and rim protector (Rudy Gobert), Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley expected to hear about the franchise making another significant move. “I was just like everybody else,” Conley said. [URL="https://www.nba.com/news/mike-conley-relishing-jazz-strong-start"]“I was waiting to get the phone call that I was going somewhere else.”[/URL]

Has the front office offered any more clarity to you since the season started? [URL="https://www.nba.com/news/mike-conley-relishing-jazz-strong-start"]Mike Conley: It doesn’t change anything. From my perspective, I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. Justin [Zanik] and Danny [Ainge] have been very transparent with everything.[/URL] If something pops up, they’ll let me know. But right now, I’m just focusing on the team. I love it. It’s a great organization. Ryan [Smith] is great. Danny is great. Will Hardy has been awesome. So, we’ll see.

It would hard to imagine Markkenen and Collins working playing next to each other as they have similar strengths and weaknesses. Though, perhaps the Jazz believes Collins is a slight upgrade from Markkanen and that the team could try to sell high on him and buy low on Collins.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work. They are playing 3 bigs together now and none of them are just doing one thing. If Collins is versatile Hardy will make it work. The bigger question would be who are they giving up in that deal. If it's Clarkson and Gay its a no brainer

[QUOTE]Utah’s most used lineup that features at least three starters but no Conley is when Sexton supplants him next to Clarkson, Markkanen, Vanderbilt and Olynyk. That group has only played 42 possessions together, but if +32.8 so far, including a scorching offense and a shaky defense. The same group with THT in Sexton’s place is +79.1 in just 29 possessions, with an unsustainably hot offense and a really solid defense. It’s too early for those numbers to hold any predictive value, but one of those two is likely to be the new starting lineup when the Jazz suit up without Conley this week. Another option is to shift more ball-handling duties to Clarkson and activate Beasley, but that group has only played three possessions together.

I'd start Sexton and Beasley

[QUOTE]The one thing his former teammates did know: Bogdanovic delivered on the court.

as long as you didn't expect anything but shooting and scoring

[QUOTE]He added another game winner against Houston during his first season; he scored a career high 48 points against Denver in 2021; and there were the three playoff series he played in, too. All were fond memories for the forward who turned out to be one of Utah's best free agent signings ever.

If we finish first or second, we can get me in the three-point contest and Kelly Olynyk in the skills challenge.”
