The fact that Mike Conley is still playing at a high level at 35 years old is impressive in itself. The fact that he hasn’t lost his shooting touch a bit, meanwhile, should make him heavily desired on the market.

Conley is one of the most grizzled veterans in the NBA, playing in two of the league’s most underrated local markets in Utah and Memphis. It took him way too long to make an All-Star Game and every night, it feels like he’s making up for lost time.

Conley is knocking down 37.4 percent of his threes this season, slightly below his previous low with the Jazz, 37.5 percent. Still, that’s hovering around his career average of 38.1 percent.

Beyond his shooting, Conley still plays hard-nosed defense and remains exquisite in the pick and roll, seemingly aging like a fine wine every time that play comes down.

The veteran guard has another year remaining on his contract, but would be owed $14.3 million if he gets waived before then. If not, Conley’s contract would pay him $24.4 million next season.

Both of the teams based in Los Angeles appear to be interested in Conley, as do the Minnesota Timberwolves, who may have better odds to acquire the guard than either of the squads out in La La Land.
