Warriors get unfortunate Mike Conley buyout news originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Believe it or not, the Golden State Warriors are still in a position to strengthen their roster ahead of the postseason.
With one roster spot remaining, the Warriors can scour the buyout market and make the wisest signing possible. Unfortunately for the Dubs, they won’t have a chance to land veteran point guard Mike Conley this season.
“The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed Mike Conley to a deal for the rest of the season,” HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported Tuesday. “Conley has averaged 9.2 points, including shooting 41.3% from three-point range, 4.7 assists, and 1.0 steals per game in four combined seasons with Minnesota.”
Conley landed on the buyout market after the Charlotte Hornets, who traded for the former All-Star on Feb. 3, waived him two days later.
Although Conley isn’t the dynamic point guard he was in his younger days, he still boasts a positive reputation in the big leagues. Why? Because the Ohio State product is a likable role player who understands that, despite his advanced age, he can still be an impactful veteran presence.
Conley, who’s averaging 4.4 points and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 32.2% from the field and 32.1% from three with the Timberwolves this season, could have been an older yet beneficial addition to Golden State in late February.
Simply put, it just wasn’t meant to be for Stephen Curry and the Dubs.
