    I think it makes Conley want to stay in Memphis. If M. Gasol is out they won't be very good anyway.

    Doesn't take much to convince guys to stay, can't blame them either. Change isn't always for the better.

    So it looks like Horford is our only hope at getting a big name.

    I think this next season will be for the young guys to progress. Rockets are nowhere near ready for a championship run.

    "The young guys" he said.

    "Progress" he said.

    All of this talk about Conley leaving Memphis, and within one minute of them signing Parsons it becomes "no doubt he is going back to Memphis."

    People really don't have a clue...

    the fact that he was part of the recruitment process to get him there can you blame people for logical thinking

    No, no one really knows.

    Still, it is easier to retain your FA players and that's always been the case. Memphis going out and getting a guy that Conley wanted means it is a lot less likely that he leaves there.

    No, I don't blame them for drawing that conclusion at this point.

    I just think it is really stupid how all the way up to 20 minutes ago, Conley was for sure leaving Memphis.

    That's my point. These people in the media that claim to understand what is happening really don't have a clue.

    wrd besides the obvious ones that have proven they are legit, a lot of the media are just like us who are skeptical and just guess what makes sense for the guys
