Lionel Hollins: Mike Conley 'wants to get paid'

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets both can use Mike Conley badly and the feeling might be mutual for the free agent-to-be point guard.

A source close to Conley recently said that while Grizzlies point guard loves playing in Memphis, it wouldn't be that surprising to see Conley leave for a big pay day from either the Knicks or Nets.

Lionel Hollins, Conley's former longtime coach in Memphis, says his old point guard will be looking for financial security among other things.

"I don't know if Michael looks elsewhere but that might end up being the best move," Hollins said recently on SiriusXM radio.
