And why in the crap would an intelligent organization, who just gave a max contract to a guy who is now out for the season and on the downside of his career, give a max contract to a PG who isn't Top 5 at his position.
Maybe I'm wrong, but if Mike Conley gets a max, I doubt it'll be from the Grizzlies.

Fact of the matter is Conley is worth a lot more to the Grizzlies than anyone else. They have hard time pulling FA's because of the market they're in so they can't just replace Conley especially with the lack of young assets they have. This Gasol injury has given them a chance to get some value for their guys and rebuild around Conley who is still somewhat young but, they're refusing to do it. I think it's a dumb move but, I understand it Guys like Conley put butts in the seats. If they were to lose Conley that diminishes their appeal to FA's and more importantly, for the owner, their fans.
But you're still talking about building around Mike Conley...why? And no, nobody is coming to see Mike Conley lose 50 games.
People don't come to see Anthony Davis lose 40, but people are gonna show to see Conley? Poor logic

He's been embedded in the culture there and is a fan favorite. Personally, I think they should blow it up because this team has had its run and it's clearly not going anywhere but downward. But, again I can see why management wants to/is going to try to re-sign Conley and not trade ZBO/Gasol or TA. It will keep butts in the seats even if it's probably not the best basketball decision.
