SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz generally don't get a lot of praise around the country given the franchise's small-market status, but that certainly wasn't the case Wednesday after news broke that the club will acquire Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley.
Numerous writers and commentators at national outlets spoke or wrote very highly of the trade Wednesday. Here's a rundown of some of it.
At ESPN, Zach Lowe wrote how the trade puts the Jazz in contention to make the NBA Finals, while commentators on The Jump television show spoke about how the addition of Conley will take pressure off Donovan Mitchell.
