Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Love the difference of opinion on Conley. I’m fine rolling the dice on him. We’ve been dying for a proven floor general to space the floor, grab a bucket, play great defense, and develop our young guys. If he were to stay healthy, we’d easily take the next step.

hootie249 293 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Memphis deal could be good for making the playoffs this year and next. Conley has played in every game this year, he had surgery and a full year to recover. It really comes down to what management wants. If you have reservations about the money, remember this might be the last chance to get rid of Fournier and Mozgov. If we did do the deal, really need to pickup JaMychal Green or Omri Caspi with him, they are playing well this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I like Green and Caspi could give us some shooting, is he expiring though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KRISH10 103 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 If not DSJ, why not grab Wall from DC. Hes got a big contract like Conley but he is younger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yakfcdde Here is a a trade with all 3. Looks like they are expiring. Memphis is signaling full rebuild so this would obviously take our pick. Reason they do this, helps the tank this year. Helps them stay above the salary floor next year before they start to get salary relief the year after. The magic get a floor general and more wings who can actually shoot!. Signals to the fans our rebuild is over. I can't imagine we don't make the playoffs if these guys stay healthy. Then we just have to hope one or two of B.I.G makes a leap forward.

He's worse than Conley, just had season ending surgery, and wipes your cap out until 2023. Conley is good now and expires when you need to resign Isaac and Bamba and Gordon will be on expiring contracts. So it'd be a good 2.5 year evaluation period of BIG and you'd have a perfect time to either abort and start tanking again or you'd have a bunch of money to replace Conley and reload with those guys. So it's kind of a perfect fit to help the young guys play with a good leader who can shepherd them into their primes but doesn't have a long term contact to ***** you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wall's extension doesn't even start till next year. It runs 3 years after Conley's contract is over. It's also much more expensive. Wall has also been revealed to be a cancer this year and his teammates seem to be playing better without him. Mike has always been known around the league as a good guy, a willing defender, and a leader. These are things John Wall are not. The thing with Wall, he has about 20 games a season where he looks like Kyrie. The rest of the year not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon and rookie Jaren Jackson Jr. would make a versatile frontcourt of the future for the Grizzlies.” Pelton is out of his mind here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
