I have no desire to have a 31 year old point guard whose on a huge contract.
There are better trades to be made out there, tbh. Conley doesn't really move the needle much for us.

Best part of op post was "wont happen" so goes on to make meaningless post....then people respond is sad part...
Dude is on about 30 mill$ per season. And it wouldn't come close to making us favorites.
I agree.... team is gelling. Gasol is out of the rotation. Grizzlies are in big time turmoil now, perhaps they blow it up and just trade for Gasol (for sentimental reasons).
Grizz's also have a 25m/yr anchor in Parsons. It's much worse that the 16m/yr anchor in Pau.
Spurs should not trade for an expensive player. Player development doing wonders now!
lol conleys contract, who wants to touch that?
Didn't even factor in Conley's contract. no is the answer then. Spurs have a very good point guard in White.
Why does Memphis do that? If they want to blow it up they could get better assets somewhere else than that.
Mike played 137 games over the past 3 seasons (about 46 per year), and is making $32M, on average, for the last 3 years of this deal.
Just no.
I agree. The only massive contract worth taking is for a good SF to replace the aging Rudy Gay. In fact, I'm more than willing to dump both Gay and Aldridge for two good SFs.
Target 2019 Free Agent:
Klay Thompson
lol that’s stupid then you need two staters at PF/C
The way White's been performing he's like a younger, bigger version of Conley on a wayyy cheaper contract. It's true Spurs have needed a Conley-type player for a few years now. Not anymore though.
Hopefully I don't need to wade in here, but nah, the trade is doodoo. The Spurs would be in a real bind the year after next with LMA, DeRozan and Conley on the books and Murray and Poeltl lined up for new deals. They just can't afford to pay that much unless they are getting an absolute superstar, and Con ain't that. In a world where Leonard had stayed, maybe you could have considered this, because that trio is much better balanced. Now the team just has to ride with the guards they have.
Why would Memphis consider this trade?
Because Conley's deal is awful.
I would take Conley, but only to trade him next year.
Edit: My bad, that deal is ducking awful. May be second or third worst NBA contract.
Edit 2: wow at Chris Paul contract, another .
Maybe it's Wall, Paul, Conley, Porter
yeah trade your starting C and PF and get another SG. You want to play a 5 SG line up?
Porter's nowhere near the top. You got Wiggins and Batum and Parsons as SFs with worse deals. Then you have guys like LaVine, Gordon (ORL) and Harrison Barnes making bank without being impressive. Then you have big deals for guys out of the rotation like Mozgov, Miles Plumlee and Ryan Anderson. Even in what is a bad year, Porter is better than all of those guys. He'd definitely be the worst contract on the team, but the Spurs could work around that because of his fit and youth
