The Memphis Grizzlies attempted to engage Mike Conley on extension talks on multiple occasions.

Conley signed a five-year, $40 million in extension in 2010.

Conley will become a free agent in 2016 at the age of 28 and is considered one of the NBA's most underrated point guards.

With the cap increasing in 2016, Conley would likely fare much better financially by waiting for a new deal.
