Sorry if you read my post wrong, I thought I implied two scenarios.ġ. Just think about the consequences Memphis would face before claiming that Memphis should trade Mayo/Gay/Conley in favor of Iverson. They aren't going to move one of their core players in favor of a guy that wouldn't even be in the NBA had it not been for the Grizzlies. If Iverson keeps *****in' about being on the bench, then Memphis will just buy him out. That means Memphis has wasted an asset in which they have invested so much in and looked moronic in doing so. Let's say they do trade Mayo, Gay, or Conley and then Iverson's contract expires and Memphis doesn't re-sign him. Now think about how little Memphis has invested in the 34-year old Iverson, who incidentally was signed to a one-year contract by the owner contrary to the wishes of the rest of the organization just to boost ticket sales. Think about how much Memphis has invested in Mayo/Gay/Conley. Memphis Gets: Tayshaun Prince/Jason Maxiel/DaJuan Summersĭetroit Gets: Mike Conley/Rudy GaySo, what, just because Iverson complains about coming off the bench we should gut our whole team and all the talent we have accumulated for 3 years just to satisfy him? Yeah, riiiiight. If you want him to work trade Mayo/Conley and Gay to get a SF or PF.
In all of your trade scenerios you have AI coming off the bench.still.
