A league executive: Conley is going downhill, his contract is a garbage contract?

Bleacher Report reporter Eric Pincus recently interviewed a number of league executives to ask their views on the current Utah Jazz lineup. When talking about the backcourt general Mike Conley (Mike Conley) who is currently in the midst of trade rumors, one of the executives made it clear that Conley is clearly on the decline, and his contribution to the team is not compatible with his high salary. No match at all.

Conley performed well in the regular season last season. He played 72 times on behalf of the team. In an average of 28.6 minutes per game, his average data was 13.7 points, 3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks, and shooting. The shooting percentage was 43.5%, the three-point shooting percentage was 40.8%, and the free throw percentage was 79.6%. However, in the playoffs , his performance has 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 %, the three-point shooting percentage is even more outrageous to 20%, and the free throw shooting percentage is 80%. With the Dallas Mavericks backcourt core Luka Doncic (Luka Doncic) missing many games due to injury, Conley still did not show enough competitiveness. In the high-intensity game, his body seems to have been unable to keep up with the rhythm.

It is noteworthy that Conley’s salary in the new season is as high as 22.68 million US dollars, and his contract will not expire until the summer of 2024. In the 2023-24 season, his salary will reach 24.36 million US dollars. Considering his age and his performance in the playoffs last season, his contract is indeed suspected of being a garbage contract.

But being able to point it out so bluntly at this juncture, it seems likely that this executive is also a potentially relevant person who has something to do with Sir 's deal. Maybe this executive is from the Los Angeles Lakers who are eyeing the Jazz star Bojan Bogdanovic (Bojan Bogdanovic)?
