I don't rate Conley as high as Robin did apparently but he still should be good in the sim. IRL it would be a diff story though with trades.
Also FVV is a combo guard.. can play next to Lowry, i'd play him next to Kemba, I'm sure playing next to Conley is totally fine too. Also over $300 in FA next year + two first rounders for Robin next year.. ain't mad at the position he's in even though it obviously couldve been better
I think the FVV works next to lowry because Lowry is a damn pit bull and can guard bigger guys because he is thick. FVV next to another smallish guard probably doesn't work as well.
I'm just saying when you do all that work to move Wall and trade that asset to turn around and tie that up with Conley probably wasn't a good look. Factor in he now has like $350 tied up in PG's (conley and payton) when FVV is the best one making peanuts. That is great cap allocation.
But to be fair this is probably the best value for value deal he's made thus far. I have been pretty critical of the deals he has made but at least in this one he pulled in some real talent to trade Ingram so at least I can understand this one.
