SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – It looks like a couple other teams have joined the Utah Jazz in the Mike Conley sweepstakes.
Reports indicate that the Toronto Raptors are interested in Conley and have offered All-Star guard Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas for Conley and fellow Memphis franchise star Marc Gasol.
Can you imagine if the Utah Jazz traded John Stockton and Karl Malone at the trade deadline in a year after their title window closed? That's what this is for Memphis fans.

The Detroit Pistons have also entered into trade talks with the Grizzlies with a deal that involves guard Reggie Jackson.
The Jazz are reported to have offered a trade that centers around swapping Conley for guard Ricky Rubio and possibly more young players. It has also been reported that the Jazz are not interested in involving forward/center Derrick Favors in a trade.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday at 1 p.m.
