    That seems like a desperation move. But, you never know, Conley could end up being very good.

    This one just won't die. I don't like the idea of losing Sergio in this deal. So far, he has shown more in this league than Conley.

    So we really want Conley because he's Greg's best psychologist?

    Warrick is supposed to be included as well. No defense but I think he's better than Frye as a backup PF

    This was interesting:

    Bibby would have been a huge addition for the Blazers. I wonder what we were willing to give up.

    I am a big proponent of keeping Outlaw.
    Outlaw AND Sergio for Conley and spare parts, we better be getting a pick back in the deal.

    Oh, yeah... soooooo "confirmed." I mean, after all, if "Yahoo! Sports" says it, it MUST be true! Do you honestly take yourself seriously? Seriously... !?

    In other news, it sure is unfortuante that reading comprehension isn't bestowed upon all!

    I don't think this trade kills our playoff chances. Conley and Bayless will have to run the 2nd unit (which is a little scary) and we lose clutch shooter Trout. So, it definitely isn't a trade that makes us better this year, and it really crowds the PG position -- Bayless, Critteron, Conley, Blake. Still, I would reserve judgment. I would hope that the market for Trout is better than Conley.

    being able to get to greg mentaly, and more importantly, get greg the ball in the post, should not be underrated. Conly would be a steal for us, memphis stinks, he would be the 5th option here.

    I'd rather give up Blake than Sergio. Conley is just redundant. A small guard, that can't shoot, can't defend, can't penetrate, and can't pass.

    We've been hearing these rumors since the summer.

    Outlaw has elevated his stock by improving his outside shooting and defense. Meanwhile, Conley is beginning to look like a guy who may be out of the league in two more years.

    What would be the point? Adding another PG who would likely compete with Bayless for an active roster spot? I wouldn't trade Sergio for Conley at this point, so if he is part of the "filler", the trade makes even less sense.

    Why. So none of the PGs have a consistent spot-up 3 pt game?

    This move is all about Greg Oden. Though, Conley does have a ton of potential. Looking at their roster, the Griz don't have much else to throw in.

    Bibby in a deal that includes Outlaw and a PG makes sense.

    Mike Conley though? MIKE CONLEY???
