What would you give up to rent Conley?

[framer]

Memphis is out, Conley is likely gone. They would likely trade him now for value. What would you give up for a rest of the season tryout?

Burke and a top-20 protected pick.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Burke and a pick.

You can throw Booker and/or Pleiss into it also.

Problem with Grizzlies trading him is it then prevents them from making an offer to him for 1 year (so basically, he's gone for good). Have they decided they don't want to try to keep him?

I've seen nothing that supports the OP saying he is gone. I doubt they move him.

This is incorrect. That rule only applies to non-expiring players who are waived after a trade. The Grizzlies could trade Conley, and still re-sign him in the offseason.

Memphis just hasn't shown to be the kind of team who wants to go into a full rebuild, so I doubt they sell all their pieces off just because of 1 injury.

Conley is loyal. I doubt he leaves.

Answer the question.
What would you give up for a 1 year rental of Conley?

I'd only trade under 1 circumstance: Verbal guarantee that he'll resign for 5 years/100-120M range.

If he agreed to that I'd offer Burks straight up. I might even insist on getting another asset in a 3 team trade.Memphis doesn't really have anything else to offer. Courtney Lee would be interesting, but he expires as well.

Why I'd do it?
His agent is Mike Conley Sr., part of Bill Duffy's agency. If he were to move back on his word, the San Antonio gang would ensure that agency would take a hit.
But I don't think he ever would. You never hear about Mike Conley. But when you do, you learn that he's a high character guy off the floor and doesn't care if you know about it. Very private.
On the floor, he's amazing. No mistakes, brilliant court vision, getts other guys assists literally. Big time defender. Kind of like Chris Paul. Super disruptive. He doesn't take possessions off, stays in front of his guy as often as everyone else. Very focused. Does all the small things to compensate for his height and small body.
