Shut your dumbass up.

Fisher was the REASON we were down in 09. We nearly lost to the Rockets because he couldn't even defend his shadow. Shot below 39% from the field and 28% from 3.

Fisher had some big moments vs the Celtics but outside of that series he was hot garbage.

nope fisher is proven clutch and bailed kobe's lakers out time and time again.

You changing the past won't disprove those facts

Lionel Hollins knew little about Conley when he took over as head coach of the woeful Grizzlies in January of 2009. He had a long history with the franchise, having twice served as an assistant and interim coach. But he spent the beginning of the 2008-09 season in Milwaukee, as a Bucks assistant.

One thing was clear, though: The players who had been given a chance to play that season had gotten the last guy fired, so the other guys couldn't be much worse.

"To me it was pretty simple," Hollins said. "They'd drafted Mike fourth overall the year before, but he'd gotten hurt as a rookie. They also had Kyle Lowry as the starting point guard and they'd been talking about trading Mike.

"I came in and was like, 'Why are we talking about trading him? We're not going anywhere. Why don't we put this guy out there and see if he can play before you go trade him?'"

It was exactly the kind of objective, blunt assessment the Grizzlies needed to hear. And Hollins might have been the only guy who could have delivered it.

"If your job is to paint a yellow square, you paint it to the best of your ability," he said. "They didn't ask you to paint the whole court, they asked you to paint that square."

In this case, that meant convincing the franchise the best thing it could do in the short term was prepare for the long term.

Just a few weeks before, Conley was nearly traded to Milwaukee for Ramon Sessions.

But shortly after taking over for Marc Iavaroni, Hollins met with Conley and told him he was the new starting point guard, and he would be given every chance to remain the starting point guard for the rest of the season.

"It was more than a rumor," Conley said. "My dad's also my agent and he called me to say I wasn't playing this one game. When they tell you that, you know it's pretty serious.
"So after all that happened, for [Hollins] to come to me and say, 'I don't care what happened before, I want to see if you can play or not' … I can't even put enough words in the sentences to say how much it means to me."

What a clusterfukk if that would have happened. Really good article:
Mike Conley makes good on show of faith - ESPN

Why did Memphis trade away Lowry. Most saw he had starting potential even on the bench in Memphis.

@frewdrymanIdiots who think MEM is only ahead because Westbrook is out: Feel free to use facts. 2-1 vs. OKC with Westbrook, lone loss day after trade.
