Is Outlaw odd man out?

Yep, Conley is to me target #1 of achievable trades out there. I think you could definitely pry him from Memphis especially with OJ Mayo's stated desire to play PG. Possibly a three team trade with GS for S-Jax to MEM would get Memphis to jump. They love malcontent scorers who don't play defense.

I doubt it happens. Conley Sr. probably won't want it. We are stuck looking for veteran PGs that are hungry for titles.

My premise in trading Rudy is that you have to give value to get value and after Bayless' disastrous rookie season how much trade value do you really think he has as an undersized two guard or even as a score first point guard? Conley has the potential to be a top ten player at his position (though could fall well short of those lofty heights) and Rudy is probably a starting quality two guard on a lot of teams; in the trade I constructed we are giving up probably more value than we are getting back, but it would also have to be awfully tempting for Memphis to get their hands on a player they've coveted in the past in Outlaw, a veteran "decent" point guard in Blake and and the real sweetener is Rudy who would be the obvious linchpin in the deal.

Don't get me wrong, I would probably be Ok with that. And I know that Bayless+Blake+Outlaw is not a fascinating package for Memphis, I'm not sure they would even trade Conley for Rudy and those two... Since they acquired ZBo and AI, I have no idea anymore where they're going.

Now that's a good idea. The crazier it is for Memhis, the more likely they would go for it.

Yeah they bow wrapped Gasol for L.A. May have been the last homer L.A. thing Memphis could do though.

Conley is going to demand a big contract in two years. Add Oden, LMA, and Roy, and possibly Batum, and you're looking at a large chunk of cap space paid out to 4 or 5 players.

I'm not sure if bringing in another top-notch youngster makes a lot of sense financially projecting out 3-5 years.

I agree. I would also like to add, with young good talent comes some ego with it. That's why I like finding maybe 4 players max with larger contracts, and finding vets not too concerned with money and playing time to help fill the roles. We don't have to have everyone young.

Players can be replaced every 3-4 years.

We need to package him for a draft pick and an expiring. Not another key player. We don't need any key players.

Any chance we can get Adam Morrison for him?

Ammo is gonna blow up this year ... for sure ... well not exactly for sure, more like "for maybe" ... actually probably not "for maybe," probably more like "for no fucking way"

That said I'm not sure we can get him for just Trav we might also need to toss in a throw away player like Rudy or Przybilla.

If you trade him to Sacramento, he could be the worst PF on the worst team in the league.

Seriously though, there's certain to be situations where he'll be valuable on the court.
