Mike Conley is available, perhaps a Wiggins deal would work!?

With Woj confirming that Conley and Gasol are on the block I don't think a Wiggins centered deal is that farfetched 2

Get ready for that 4 pg lineup we've been waiting for. The dream of Flip is alive. I'd like to see a Teague centered deal if we went for Conley but if it takes wiggins so be it.

Ya don't think it is possible. Just my opinion we would have to give up a draft pick to obtain him and in my opinion he is paid to much to give up future assets when he won't put us over the top.

*I think Conley is freaking amazing but don't think he is worth that 3rd contract max he is getting currently for his skill set

But it has less years than Wiggins and he's actually a plus player. Beggars can't be choosers!

I think Conley would be perfect for this team. Worry about his health but he's my favorite pg in the game. Money be damned, Taylor should shell out based on the increased value of this franchise alone.

I can't remember the exact trade I saw on twitter but wiggins, teague, tyus and an unprotected 1st for Conley, j. Green and filler.

I just hate giving up picks for a position that is super deep in the NBA and for a guy who has never made an all star team. (Probably the best vet that hasn't). Just don't think him or Kemba move the needle enough, in my opinion.

He's 31 and a small PG. I get Wiggins doesn't earn that contract, but Conley might not even make it through his given his injury history. I'd give them anyone outside of Towns/Wiggins/Covington which means a 3rd team likely has to get involved to take Teague.

I like this logic. Age and injury history is an issue, but man a starting 4 with Conley, Wiggins, Covington, and Towns would be nice.

I know that wiggins isn't playing to his contract, but sending out an unprotected pick just to get him off the books?

You don't trade for 31 year old players who don't make you a contender. What would he give us that Rose/Teague/Tyus isn't?
