    Ian Begley, a new york knicks staff writer wrote this report.

    If you guys really want to get real reports about Mike Conley, I suggest woj, stein - or a memphis grizzlies beat writer, such as Chris Herrington.

    Other than one of them saying it, this is nothing but click bait.

    We do not need Conley. We already have a point guard, it's James Harden. We need to pick up a shooting guard who can defend and shoot.

    If I were the rockets I would want to pair Harden up with a sidekick. The problem is that James Harden doesn't work well with that kind of dynamic. When has harden ever set a screen for another player. He doesn't.

    [rQUOTEr]Tim MacMahon:

    For Memphis to keep Mike Conley, the Grizzlies would have to commit to a five-year contract for the top point guard available in the free agency market, sources told ESPN.com. The fifth year, which only the Grizzlies can offer Conley, would be worth more than $33 million on a max contract.

    A source said the Spurs and Mavericks are among the other teams that would interest Conley, who intends to explore his options in free agency. The Spurs would have to answer questions about how Conley would fit with Tony Parker, according to the source, who said that Conley has great respect for Dallas coach Rick Carlisle.

    The Knicks and Pacers would have been attractive to Conley, an Indianapolis native, but those two teams addressed their needs at point guards with trades today.[/rQUOTer]

    The extra money is so huge, I think Conley stays if the Grizzlies offer the max. Shouldn't take him long to decide.

    With Knicks and Pacers out of the running there are few teams in need of a PG upgrade like us.

    We need a player who can shoot and defend point guards. That's exactly what Mike Conley is.

    He had no problem playing with Westbrook or playing with other guards in the olympics... He really hasn't had a problem with Beverly.

    What he doesn't like playing next to is a POS or a washed up drunk.

    Bye Bye Morey lol......

    How did you turn such an attractive situation (Rockets)
    into an unattractive situation in the span of 1 year?

    Nobody wants to come play for your wack ass team that you brag about so often.

    Admittedly, I know little about Conley's personality, but I actually liked the video. It played up all his strengths and clearly presented to him what Memphis will be like for the next 4-5 years.


    IMO, Memphis needs to make a splashy move to convince Conley to stay

    Buddy Hield isn't even a PG, he's a SG.

    Mike is not like Ty Lawson, who can not spot up shoot from the outside at all. He would excel much more under our run and gun offense with D'Antoni plus he CAN actually play defense again unlike Lawson.
