My concern with Conley is age, he turns 34 real soon and he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Small guards tend to wear out at his age and minutes (in fact he has already exceeded expectations from my seat).
I think the Mavs were right to chase him when he was a free agent last.....but now? I personally don't think it would be a wise investment.
Not a knock on him but he's also played on some great defensive teams which wouldn't be the case here. I'm with you on age as a concern but then again, look at CP3.
