Some members of the Memphis Grizzlies front office are reportedly growing increasingly concerned that point guard Mike Conley could leave once he becomes a free agent.
According to ESPN’s Ian Begley, there is growing concern that Conley could seek out a new team after his contract expires.
The Grizzlies reportedly intend to give Conley a strong sales pitch, including a video featuring Memphis native Justin Timberlake. One advantage they will have is the ability to offer a fifth season and about $32 million more than any other team can.
Conley has spent his entire career with Memphis, and he has voiced a desire to stay provided the team makes moves to become a contender again. However, he’d be highly sought after as a free agent – you can bet the Knicks will be circling – and it may appeal to him to move on.
