The Utah Jazz reportedly offered Ricky Rubio and a first-round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for Mike Conley, according to Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Grizzlies have been taking trade calls on Mike Conley for the past few weeks now, as Memphis has one of the worst records in the NBA and is in rebuild mode.
The Jazz are trying to add a third dynamic player alongside shooting guard Donovan Mitchell and center Rudy Gobert, and Conley fits that bill.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Utah Jazz have made an offer to the Memphis Grizzlies involving Ricky Rubio and a 2019 first-round pick for point guard Mike Conley, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.




Conley would be a huge upgrade over Ricky Rubio. In 51 games this season for Memphis, Conley is averaging 20.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists while shooting 43.3 percent from the field, 35.9 percent from beyond the arc and 84.4 percent from the free-throw line.
Conley is a better player than Rubio on both ends of the floor. Rubio may be a superior passer than Conley, but that's about it, as Conley can create his own shot off the dribble and get to the basket and finish at the rim.
Conley is making $30,521,115 this season.
