Makes some sense, but I'm not sure they can keep Conley, who will be a free agent (I think) in high demand.
Anyway, we should pay attention to their situation - either they want someone now to make a run in the playoffs, and we should try to pry Gasol away from them, or they give this year as lost and we may get some interesting pieces... well, not sure they have any...
Because as they are now, and without Gasol, no way they resist the first round of the playoffs.
