2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Jingled]

Check out Tony Jones twitter timeline... he’s got me nervous... really high on Conley... mentioned ordering certain combo/stretch forwards and put Love over Harris Otto and Gallo (just as players without consideration to contract).

I hope his thoughts don’t mirror managements.

I find it really strange that he put Love ahead of Porter and Harris because in the past he's been pretty down on Love because of defense and injuries.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Elephant in the room:

If Conley is so great, why have the Grizzlies stalled as hard as they have? I say this as someone that's a strong believer that Marc Gasol is one of the best players of the last 10 years.

Would still really like Porter. Don't think Conley is a good idea, great player, but old and expensive. Don't think our window is quite now.

Yup... he doesn’t always agree with management... like he’s not a big Ricky fan sometimes.

Love wasn’t in the question either... I think there’s a chance we miss this summer and get Love and I hate it so much.

Marc has struggled and the rest of the roster is trash... okay JJJ is good but young. They played above their heads to start the season.

Their coach is bad imo too... I’m still not a fan of bringing in Conley for reasons already outlined.

It's more on Gasol than Conley IMO. Gasol has been terrible of late.

The NBA is a league run by wings and PG's. Well, all Memphis has is a great center and a good PG. Jaren Jackson will be great one day, but the wing play in Memphis cannot keep up with today's NBA.

Conley is the type guy who becomes even better when he's surrounded by good teammates. He would shine next to Donovan and Ingles on the perimeter. Add in another floor spacer like Otto or Harris, and Conley fits perfectly.

Their performance on offense... now and over the years is a bit troubling though... pgs or primary creators drive offenses imo. But their wings are trash on offense. Some good defenders.

Love and Conley together? Is that feasible (numbers wise)? Assuming so. If both those guys came together, I totally do that. I know that sounds crazy, but that puts us on the map and the next 2.5 years we really have a shot. So long as they planned on retaining Gobert and Mitchell through that, then we’re golden.

I’d sign Beverley in the summer. And maybe DMC.

Conley / Beverley
Mitchell / Korver
Ingles / Royce
Love / Crowder
Gobert / Udoh

I'm pretty sure we don't have the salary to move for two big names.

No. And no.
