It appears that a trade involving Mike Conley is inevitable at some point in the coming months of the NBA offseason. He has caught the eyes of a handful of teams following perhaps his best individual season since he was originally drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2007.
Ahead of February’s NBA Trade Deadline, the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers were two clubs who expressed sincere interest in swinging a trade for the 31-year-old Conley. Memphis contemplated, but balked as the deadline buzzer sounded.
The expectation now — less than two months ahead of the 2019 NBA Draft — is that the Grizzlies will deal Mike Conley if the return boosts Memphis’ rebuilding project.
