Bleacher Report reporter Eric Pincus recently interviewed a number of league executives to ask their opinions on the current lineup of Utah Jazz . When talking about backcourt general Mike Conley (Mike Conley), who is currently in trade rumors, one of the executives made it clear that Conley is obviously on the decline, and his contribution to the team is completely inconsistent with his high salary.
Conley's performance in the regular season last season was pretty good. He played a total of 72 times for the team. In an average of 28.6 minutes per game, he averaged 13.7 points, 3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He shot 43.5% from the field, 40.8% from the three-point range, and 79.6% from the free throw line. However, in the playoffs , his performance declined significantly. He averaged 29 minutes per game in the playoffs, and his average data dropped to 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.3 blocks. His shooting percentage was only 33.3%, his three-point shooting percentage was an outrageous 20%, and his free throw percentage was 80%. With Luka Doncic, the core of the Dallas Mavericks' backcourt, missing many games due to injury, Conley still has not shown enough competitiveness. In high-intensity competition, his body seemed to be unable to keep up with the rhythm.
It is worth noting that Conley’s salary in the new season is as high as US$22.68 million. His contract will not expire until the summer of 2024, and in the 2023-24 season, his salary will reach US$24.36 million. Considering his age and his performance in last season's playoffs, his contract is indeed suspected of being a junk contract.
However, to be able to point this out so bluntly at this juncture, it seems that this executive may also be a potential relevant person who has something to do with the jazz transaction. Maybe this executive is from the Los Angeles Lakers who are eyeing Jazz star Bojan Bogdanovic?
