Welcome into another edition of the WojPod here in Vegas with Utah Jazz Point Guard Mike Conley.

How you doing?

I'm great, Mike.

Are you used to hearing that yet?

No.

I still don't really recognize it, really, without, you know, kind of have to take a double

take.

Did the fact that you knew the teams had talked at the trade deadline start to prepare you

mentally for the possibility when the season ended, those talks would be right back

there.

You fit what they needed and it was kind of a natural trade partner.

Did it give you a chance to have some time to consider what it was going to feel like, look like,

and adjust to it maybe before it even happened?

Yeah, it really did.

I think that I was almost even more shocked in February or in January area

when we were put on the market more so than when I got traded.

But even to the point when I got traded, you try to prepare as much you can.

But when you do, it's good.

You know, all the emotions and feelings, you know, they pour out and, you know, all at once, it's kind of a weird situation.

But after everything settled down and everything was, you know, I understood where I was going, Utah was going to be home.

It meant I got excited immediately and realized, you know, the possibilities that they were in front of us.

There's a lot to talk about with the jazz, but going back to that time in Memphis, they put you on the market.
