I think the league passed by Conley. He is now a middle tier guard at best.

This is interesting. The way Parker looked this postseason, you'd think Conley would be one of their major targets. I certainly see him as a much better fit than someone like Gasol. Horford might actually be the best fit there, especially if Duncan retires.

He probably goes to Chicago... and BOOM, like that you know why Danny couldn't get Butler. Chicago probably think they are top 4 contenders in the east. They will need help at the 4 and 5 in free agency though.. Wade?

Conley/Calderon/
Butler/Doug/Grant/Valentine
Mirotic/Dunleavy/
Portis/Gibson
Lopez/Noah

I can bet you 10 TP's, that most certainly will never ever happen.

Conley has said the Grizzlies get the last word, and that he certainly wants to end up in a situation that's stable. The Bulls front office and their negligence will be their downfall when it comes to players opting out of their contracts to become UFA year after.

They are losing Noah in this situation clearly, and not sure how you think conley, butler and Lopez is a team that is anything more than a 7 or 8 seed?

Disagree by the way.

Conley is probably one of the most underrated players.

People don't want to give IT away for pennies on a dollar, not because he's an Allstar, but because he means more to us as a franchise and on offense. Conley? He's the same exact way for the Grizzlies. He's literally the only player that can uplift their offense while being the key cog with Gasol on defense. I've watched Grizzlies at times, and Gasol/Conley tell players where to go on defense, and when to switch. Their the most vocal and dynamic leaders of that team, so it'll be hard to see Conley leave them unless he seriously believes nothing is going to happen.

If that does occur, I hope Ainge goes after Marc Gasol.

does anyone else feel hes been called "underrated" so many times that hes become, overrated?
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

No problem if SAS takes him. Every point guard that goes to somewhere that isn't Brooklyn is one fewer for Brooklyn to sign.
