The Memphis Grizzlies have reportedly opened up their two franchise players of Mike Conley and Marc Gasol for trade discussions, which raises the question whether the Washington Wizards should pursue exchanging one of their cornerstones in return. Does a John Wall-for-Conley deal make sense?

Conley has been one of the faces of the Grit and Grind Grizzlies; Wall helped usher in a new era of professional basketball in the nation’s capital.
