If the Jazz manage to pull off a trade for Conley, a number of Utah's current roster will have to make way as part of the deal. In regards to who would depart, Eric Woodyard of Deseret News is reporting that the experienced duo of Derrick Favors and Ricky Rubio are likely to be among the players to make way:

Derrick Favors’ camp has been in touch with the Jazz, and to their understanding, the trade rumors are real with him and Rubio being linked to a Mike Conley Jr. deal. However, both players are still here in Utah and remain focused on the Suns tonight until further notice.

Rubio has made 47 appearances for the Jazz this season, averaging 12.9 points and 6.1 assists per game. Meanwhile, Favors has been with the team since 2011, and the 27-year-old is currently averaging 10.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
