Memphis Grizzlies player representative Mike Conley realizes that he’s in New York today to deliver the biggest assist of his NBA career.

“There are some things as players we want to be done in order for the deal to be right,” Conley said in a telephone interview. “Hopefully, this next proposal is close enough that we can live with it and be able to play.”

“Players want to play but not in an extensively bad system, something that will hurt us in the long run,” Conley said.
