Trade Rumor: Conley to Portland

Word out of Memphis has the blazers and the grizzlies discussing a potential deal that would send Jarrett Jack, Sergio Rodriguez, Martell Webster and Joel Pryzbilla to Memphis in return for rookie pg Mike Conley Jr and swing man Mike Miller.

My prognosis: I like it. Mike Conley Jr has been labeled by many nba insiders as a franchise point guard very similar to that of Chris Paul. Mike Miller would fit in perfectly at the three and give this team something it desperately needs in outside shooting. If you can picture it, see it in your mind a triple team invloving Aldridge and or Oden with Mike Miller wide open on the perimeter. That's deadly folks. Extremely deadly. As for Conley. Can anyone pick him up whenever decides to penetrate and break down the defense? Think Chris Paul for a moment. Not a chance.

i have mixed feeling about that with some of the players we give up, but no doubt what kind of talent mike is.

I like Conley. He would be reunited with Greg. It's more of the upgrade on the perimeter I'm looking at. Who knows, this might reopen the possiblilities to resigning Jamall McGloire.
