The Utah Jazz have expressed interest in trading for Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic.
The Grizzlies are open to moving Mike Conley ahead of the Feb. 7 trade deadline. The Jazz are reportedly looking to add a third dynamic player alongside shooting guard Donovan Mitchell and center Rudy Gobert.
As we head into trade deadline season, the Jazz continue to search for that dynamic third piece that up to this point has eluded them, league sources tell The Athletic. According to sources, the Jazz have expressed interest in Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley and Wizards small forward Otto Porter Jr., both of whom have been put on the trade block by their respective teams.
The Jazz have Ricky Rubio running their offense right now, but if Utah was able to acquire Mike Conley, they could probably stick Conley at the two guard position and slide Mitchell down to the small forward spot.
In 47 games this season for the Grizzlies, Conley is averaging 20.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game. The 31-year-old, who has spent his entire NBA career with Memphis, is shooting 42.6 percent from the field, 35.5 percent from beyond the arc and 85.5 percent from the free-throw line.
The Jazz are 27-22 on the season, good for sixth place in the Western Conference standings.
