7SOL Suns were the team that got me into basketball. Always gonna have a soft spot for these guys, shame they never won a championship as a team

At the time, Mike Conley hadn't been an all star yet (he's also only been an all star once in his career). I'd say it was an overpay, but every young NBA star gets the max nowadays so it's just kinda market value

But still, despite being a one time all star, Mike Conley is good and every team that has him loves him. So his contract isn't bad like say, Davis Bertans/Chandler Parsons/John Wall

My mind was already blown back when Mike Conley signed the "biggest basketball contract ever" like 8? years ago. Feels like every year since then has some variation of that and now I'm just numb to it

Wish some of that salary inflation hit my real life job
