The Memphis Grizzlies ultimately decided against trading Mike Conley despite having several offers.

But the Grizzlies see Conley as a valuable mentor to Jaren Jackson Jr. while the 19-year-old gets groomed as a franchise player.

Conley was expected to be traded after Marc Gasol, Garrett Temple, Shelvin Mack, and JaMychal Green were dealt before the deadline.

Conley has 2-years and $67 million remaining on his contract after this season.
