NBA Rumors: 3 Players the Indiana Pacers are currently targeting

#2 Mike Conley

Mike Conley is expected to leave the Memphis Grizzlies this summer

The Pacers are keen on bringing in a new point guard to play alongside Victor Oladipo this summer, and Chris Herrington of the Daily Memphian believes that Mike Conley is a contender:

If the Pacers did try to bring the Indiana native Conley home, using their cap space to take back Conley’s deal without having to fully match salaries, the most likely deal would be for reserve forward Doug McDermott ($7.3 million in each of the next two seasons) and the Pacers No. 18 pick in this summer’s draft. The Grizzlies would presumably be much more interested in a deal bringing back young center Domantas Sabonis, but would probably struggle to pry him away. A problem here is that trading for Conley might require the Pacers to renounce the rights to a free agent they'd prefer to keep. (Such as Memphis native Thaddeus Young.)

Conley has spent his entire career with the Grizzlies, although his future with the franchise is in doubt due to the impending arrival of Ja Morant.

Conley has yet to make an All-Star performance but continues to produce big numbers. He averaged 21.1 points and 6.4 assists during the 18-19 season.
