Could Mike Conley Jr. be once again setting up passes to big man Greg Oden?
According to a report by Yahoo! sports, the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies are in discussions which could see Conley headed to the Blazers in exchange for Travis Outlaw.
The talks have been ongoing for weeks, but one source close to the Blazers said Portland GM Kevin Pritchard remains hesitant about completing the deal and that a trade doesn’t appear imminent.
Even though the salaries match, it is unlikely that the deal would be straight up, with possibly Hakim Warrick and Javaris Crittenton being included from Memphis, and Sergio Rodriguez from Portland.
The Blazers have been active on several trade fronts, including discussions earlier this season with the Atlanta Hawks that would’ve included a package for point guard Mike Bibby. Those talks died when the Hawks started the season with five straight victories.
