What other option do you have?
Yeah, its not like Utah can just go star player replacement shopping and reload for 2022. We were lucky enough to have 3 all stars as it is.
They already have one bad contract with Gobert, its stupid to add a second. Any team with Gobert at center isn't gonna win a championship. The last two years have proved that. He's too much of a liability. They don't have a chance anyways unless they move him. Conley is an injury plagued mess and has been for years. I didn't want him to begin with and his persistent injuries have proven my point. There's no point in investing in someone unless they can be healthy in May and June. He's not a guy that has shown he can.
You can't give up on Gobert and Donovan this early. Also disagree with you can't win with Gobert at Center.
You have to use Gobert correctly. Can't have him on the floor if other teams goes ultra small and hitting 3s after 3s. Gotta have a backup Center who can play in small ball lineups. When the other team goes big - Gobert can do his thing.
I think you re-sign Conley and move him at the deadline or next summer if a star is available via trade. You'll have to do what Bucks did - trade multiple 1st round picks and do swaps but that's the best way to land a proven star. I'd do that bc Gobert will still be in his prime and Donovan will be entering his.
