Dunno - I guess it would depend on the talent left to choose from and whether or not we could get something better for Conley or Conley packaged with Mike Miller (for example).


Personally I'm not all that big a fan of Charlie V. However, if the Grizz landed Rose and had the opportunity to score one of Lopez/Mayo/Gordon/Griffin/Love etc... as well, I'd think they'd have to consider it.

Would you do conley for the 7th pick?

Why would they want Conley when they had a Conley-esque PG in TJ Ford?

Conley's not taking them to the playoffs.

Also they could draft Darren Collison/D.J. Augustin..who in my opinion are just as good of prospects as Conley.

WTF? Did you miss last year's college season? Were you thinking "Man, I wish Darren Collison or DJ Augustine had declared so we can take them"?

Coney was better than both of them last year and now he is starting in the NBA but you think they are just as good of prospect? Please....

TJ Ford was a whiny cry baby his second season with the Bucks. Conley seems like a version of TJ with a better attitude and without the spinal injury history.

I know most Bucks fans would love to try and get a hold of him if you guys get Rose.

I'd offer lotto pick and CV for him, or Yi for him straight up.

PS: He's also a little longer, much stronger, and less selfish than TJ

I think a lotto pick and CV would get you Conley.

If Memphis can turn Conley into CV and (Love, Lopez, Mayo, or Gordon)

Yi would be fun to pair up with Rudy, but I don't know if the 'Chinese headaches' are worth it.

How about Frye/McRoberts/Jack (would be traded to a 3rd team for a future 1st) #13 and #35 for Conley ?

Why not hang onto Conley and let him compete with Rose to see who turns out to be the best PG. Grizz could easily have 2-years of the "evaluation" to determine how everyone fits.

Memphis could trade Lowry + Lakers Pick to Portland for the #13

I just don't think PDX does that.
