Jazz acquire PG Mike Conley in blockbuster deal

The Utah Jazz finally got the man they’ve coveted for quite some time.

The team announced Wednesday that they have acquired veteran point guard Mike Conley from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for veteran sharpshooter Kyle Korver, veteran forward Jae Crowder, sophomore Grayson Allen, the 23rd pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and a protected future first-round draft pick.

Conley had spent his entire pro career with the Grizzlies organization prior to this deal. He has averaged 14.9 points, 5.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals over a span of 12 seasons and 788 games.

The 31-year old is fresh off a great 2018/19 campaign where he averaged a career-high in points per game (21.1).
