$67 million dollars over 2 years. 32 years-old in early October. Only 6’1 and 175 pounds. Has had seasons of 56 games and 12 games in the last 4 years. We’ve heard it all. Mike Conley has certainly heard it all. He’s the 5th highest paid point guard in the entire NBA.
The Grizzlies flirted with trading “Money Mike” (thanks Basketball Reference) last year at the deadline, but the price was said to be prohibitively high.
However, Marc Gasol was indeed traded, and the Grizzlies are ready to bury the Grit and Grind teams Memphis so dearly loved and start their rebuild in earnest.
