Trading Mike Conley is easy, but finding the right trade package for him will take some doing. The Grizzlies will need to be careful, and consider their own long-term situation, before pulling the trigger on a deal.

Should a team offer to take Conley entirely off their hands by absorbing him into open cap space this summer already, then that's a start. It shouldn't be the whole trade, as Memphis would essentially gift away an All-Star caliber point guard for financial flexibility, but it's a solid, and maybe even necessary, starting position if Memphis wish to retain center Jonas Valanciunas, who will most likely decline his player option and become a free agent this summer.
Derrick Favors , Raul Neto , Georges Niang , and Royce O'Neale are all on completely non-guaranteed contracts for 2019/2020. Even Kyle Korver is only owed a portion of that number - $3.4 million - if he's waived before July 7th. If Utah renounces their rights to all these players, only seven players will be on the books for a total of $65.8 million - on a cap estimated to be $109 million.
That Jazz trade would solve a lot for Memphis, but it admittedly isn't a slam dunk, and it won't assist the Grizzlies in gathering assets. If Memphis want a little more excitement than that, the team they should be eyeing this summer is the Los Angeles Lakers.
