I have never had a perception of a player be so wrong than what I felt Mike Conley was on the basketball court. Before this season my opinion of Mike was:

A high BB IQ player.
Mature player with solid fundamentals
A true floor general on the court
Clutch shooter

I have never seen a player be more of a let down than Mike. I knew his size was going to be an issue on defense but I thought his command on the offensive side would somewhat offset.

All I can hope for is that he somehow wants out of this situation and has the guts to opt out. That is the only way we can somehow save the situation.
 
I can't vote cause the talkatap app doesn't show it. I vote yes.

This is like just your opinion man. Your post is stupid. How about them apples?

You haven't provided adequate examples to back your point that the good will this organization has payed dividends.

Let's reavaluate Bogey in a year before we consider he's worth more than his contract. And regardless, he may have signed here because we offered him the most money. Our good will may have had nothing to do with it.

And as I've said before, any of the goodwill we built by resurrecting Mudiay's career was completely shot after he proved how valuable he became in our system and Quin benched him.

We're the nicest organization in the league, and Hayward still left.

It would be cool if you would provide real examples of how we are putting all of our good will to good use before calling my idea stupid.

You’re right benching a guy and killing his market value to get him to opt out of millions of dollars he’ll never get back will definitely work... he won’t just opt in and demand a trade... nba players don’t do that...

it will also be nice to be in the same class as trash organizations like the knicks and kings...

I gave you a few examples from this year... how many do you ****ing need... DM wanted to cone here... was excited to be here because of the strength of our organization... I realize he was picked in the draft but but in from young guys is important and he was 1000% in. Imagine drafting a guy after pulling some trashy shady **** like you are proposing... dudes would act like Trey Lyles and pout they way out of town.

We haven’t had a lot of opportunities in the FA market because we didn’t have space and weren’t really looking to do so.

Please give me examples where organizations did guys dirty like this and what it got them.

GTFO man this is one of the stupidest proposals ever.

I wouldn't make a habit of treating players badly but once in a great while when it wouldn't hurt the team and may even help, you got to do what you got to do.
 
They traded both Favors and Crowder, two guys who wanted to be here, to get Mike who didn't want to be here. And let go Ricky, who also wanted to be here. Udoh also was let go. All four liked it here and wanted to be here, and we could use all four of them too -- I was advocating for Ricky off the bench last year, a role in which he could've been very useful in a number of games where we lost because of big runs by the opponents.

Instead, we get a guy who is supposed to be a big piece who is not only playing like crap but destroying the great chemistry the team had last year. The Front Office is definitely to blame, and maybe Quin too if he supported it. They need to own up and bench Mike to acknowledge their mistake. And I think "Mistake Mike" is a great nickname we can use to voice our displeasure.
 
The Conley trade hurts beyond his own suckage. It’s the fact he cost us our toughest players (favors and crowder) and a guy who had great chemistry with the team (rubio). So even if we could trash him this offseason, the damage will take years to fix. Favors was a top 3 pick and the true prize from the dwill trade.
 
Mike staying here is a negative aura, cut him break ties and watch the other players pick up where we left off in our huge winning streak, without Mistake Mike.
