16-year NBA veteran Mike Conley is someone Beale Street Bears’ Mark Nilon believes would be a great fit alongside the newly formed Boston Celtics Big Three of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis. The former Hardwood Houdini co-editor feels as though Conley has earned the right to play for a team truly in the mix for an NBA championship as his career nears its conclusion.
“Adding a no-ego, highly committed/ productive floor general like the Memphis legend to a Celtics roster already consisting of All-Star talents like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis would be a great move for the club to make and, as a result, it would give Mike Conley a great chance to legitimately compete for a championship as he fades into the twilight years of his NBA career,” Nilon wrote.
