    Probably isn’t easy being around passive aggressive dickwads like Gasol.

    But at least he took responsibility.

    Actually, he probably got to Memphis and was like, "you're paying Mike Conley HOW MUCH money???"

    And then he got to Portland and Dame showed him what a real point guard looks like.

    Sure looks that way. On the other hand, this is summer league so perhaps he's being instructed to work on getting his shot off in a variety of ways. He is showing that he's not simply a spot up shooter. So that's good.

    The deadline is July 18 (tomorrow) to guarantee his contract. Is there any way that doesn't happen?

    The only way imo, is if he has real chemistry issues and lacks leadership qualities.

    I don't think so. I think he has played well enough that we need to keep him.

    Maybe that had something to do with him pressing last night?

    He needs to have a better game in the championship game tonight.

    Fun to re-watch those highlights of Baldwin vs Harden. He definitely had Harden flustered.

    I want to see him bring more of that defensive minded confidence this season!

    I know more than him. He's weak.

    I'll not be happy if we lose him as another cap casualty (like Ed Davis was). So is it true that Portland will not be able to resign him next year because we have no bird rights? His defense on Harden in that game last year was legendary. He had Harden so pissed off.

    Link? Does "took responsibility" mean that he admitted he was wrong and they were right? If not, what does it mean? If so, why do you blame his teammates?

    We have early bird rights, which means were limited to signing him for around the league average salary ($7M ish, I believe).
