[Walden] Mike Conley on trade rumors: “You get a text from a family member that says, ‘Welcome to Chicago’ — I didn’t get traded to Chicago, but now I’m thinking, ‘Did I get traded to Chicago?’ So I go look it up or go call my agent. It’s nonstop.”



> Veteran point guard Mike Conley said he’d love to be able to convince young teammates to turn their phones off this week, but knows it’s futile. So instead he preaches “try to come in and keep your routine, try to keep your mind away from the what-ifs and all the possibilities that are out there.”

> Nevertheless, even he conceded it’s all but impossible to tune out completely.

> “It’s tough. I don’t check Instagram or Twitter as often as the young guys, but you get a text from a family member that says, ‘Welcome to Chicago’ or something — I didn’t get traded to Chicago, but now I’m thinking, ‘Did I get traded to Chicago?’” Conley said. “So I go look it up or go call my agent. It’s nonstop.”

I can understand why Conley would be worried about a trade to Chicago.

    Being a big Mike Conley stan, I was convinced he was going to push the Jazz over the hump. It was so weird to watch him struggle initially, but even then I just assumed he would get rolling. I know he eventually got into his groove over there *(I don’t really watch Utah games, I just hear about things)*. I hate to think that if Mike gets moved he might only be remembered for a missed three and a clutch-time travel during his time with the Jazz.

    I mean even if he’s old, we could use Conley.

    We need Lonzo back so bad.

    Players should tell their friends and family if it’s not from Woj or Shams I don’t want to hear it.

    I don’t see how we’d make the salaries work without sending Vuc, and I don’t think they’d send Vuc for the last two years of Mike Conley’s career.

    Lmao OP with the subtle jab.

  11. I can see how being in trade rumors is annoying, but with the money they make it’d also be pretty fun to hit up Redfin and shop for dope mansions in all those different cities.
