Kincade Upstill: Why the Jazz didn’t trade Dante Exum

SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, with Utah general manager Dennis Lindsey deciding to keep his team together.

The Jazz were rumored to be involved in a few trade discussions, the most exciting deal being linked with the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies had put point guard Mike Conley on the market and the Jazz were one of the finalists to land the near All-Star guard. Utah's final offer for Conley was Ricky Rubio, Derrick Favors, a first-round pick and a second-round pick, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic. The Grizzlies asked for Dante Exum and were reportedly told no.
