NBA News Roundup, Thursday, May 16th: Golden State star wants to extend to stay, Grizzlies to draft Ja Morant and more

The Utah Jazz are still chasing Mike Conley

The Utah Jazz tried to acquire Conley back in February

With the Memphis Grizzlies intent on drafting Ja Morant, The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor is reporting that Morant's arrival could re-ignite the Jazz's interest in Mike Conley:

Morant, especially, seems like an intriguing fit: He would make for a tremendous long-term pick-and-roll partner with [Jaren] Jackson and could learn the tricks of the trade behind veteran point guard Mike Conley Jr. That is, unless Memphis trades Conley - multiple league sources said this week that the Jazz are expected to make another push for him after failing to land him prior to the deadline.

The Jazz targeted Conley ahead of the February deadline, although the two teams failed to come to an agreement. Conley has spent his entire career with the Grizzlies, and he still has two years and $67 million left on his current deal.
