Mike Conley is the only superstar this league has ever seen. He will bring the NBA to multi-dimensions.

Ja not playing smart trying to do it himself dribbling it into 3 guys in the paint. This one is over. Still just one game.

That's why there shouldn't be a real problem re-signing him. As good as he is, he does have quite a few mental fart moments.

Some ugly wins are needed. They are not going to run away with every game winning by double digits. The youngsters will give up leads and have to learn how to 'grind' out close games. It's part of the process of becoming a great team. To me learning to win close games is a valuable lesson and part of the learning curve to greatness.

Come on boys, steady does it.

This team is young and hungry, they haven't the mentality of playing down to the competition. They want to go out and prove themselves every game. I think they lost the last time because they haven't learnt how to win consistently yet therefore concentration issues. Now they've tasted red meat I am sure these guys will step up.

You better get CCTV at your place and extra security around you.

Ouch, that's a blunt blade.

Yeah, unfortunately he is a grown man. Mike was awesome for us and gave us lots of wonderful heroic moments, but alas facts are facts.

In KBM's mind Conley should be an All-star this year because of Utah's 10 game win streak and their position in the standings.

I don't believe that's the case at all. I am sure the FO would be happy, maybe even patting themselves on the back to have traded for a finals MVP teaching the young ones the ropes. If he came in with the right attitude he could have been a real advantage to have for the youngsters. Unfortunately his ego refused to allow himself to be on a perceived non-playoff small market team. I suspect now that we're in the hunt for a playoff spot with the youngsters playing so well and his perceived self-worth not where it is, Iggy might be second guessing his decision. Doesn't matter though, his ego will make him double down on his initial decision and he will not play a single minute for the Grizzlies.

$$$$$ and winning talks louder. Nobody will care about Iggy's whatever drama in two years.

Another name is home town favourite Shane Battier. Never a stats star but a leader through and through. Miami doesn't win 2012-13 without him. Keep Jae, he has tamed his chucking. I think he was smart enough to see what the team needs from him and adjusted accordingly. He knew that better ball movement and shots for the youngsters translates to a better team overall.

No it won't. People won't care. Iggy means nothing. Future free agents or players won't let something silly like that influence their decision. It's all about money, fit and a chance to play winning basketball. If we can offer those conditions no sane player will care about Iggy's situation, because people know this is a one-off at worst and again NOT the team's fault but the Diva himself NOT honoring his contract.

Iggy will have no impact on what future free agents think about coming to Memphis. Anyone with half a brain can see that he is acting like a diva and HE is the one NOT honoring the contract, NOT the club.
