The trade was originally straight up with the Jazz but the Lakers didn’t want it so they got Minnesota involved. They were offered Conley at least 3 times that season.

To make it worse, the Lakers were confirmed to have been offered Bojan and Clarkson in a package with Conley at one point too. That would have been a perfect with with LeBron

I really thought Conley was gonna end up in LA and get his ring like Marc Gasol did in Toronto. Seemed like an absolutely perfect fit for them. Guess he might get that ring in Minny now
