space for run at Memphis Grizzlies' Mike Conley?

Heading into play on Feb. 4, the Knicks reside in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and 3.5 games behind a postseason berth. With exactly two weeks until the NBA trade deadline, team president Phil Jackson must soon make one of the most difficult calls for any executive: Buy or sell?

Blake Griffin trade rumors are coming out of Los Angeles. Could the Knicks swap Carmelo Anthony for a younger All-Star forward?

If the Knicks do buy, don't expect Jackson to hurt the future cap space of a 23-28 team that likely would be one-and-done in the NBA playoffs. If Jackson chooses to sell, however, it could be with an eye on this summer—specifically a run at Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, per a New York Post report:

The candidates would include point guard Jose Calderon and disappointing big man Kyle O'Quinn. Both of their departures would open up much-valued cap space for 2016, when Jackson has visions of making his next big splash by possibly inking Memphis point guard Mike Conley. They could need more cap space to do so as they would have just $18 million to work with if nobody opts out.

With the rise of Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony's healthy, bounce-back season, the Knicks are on the uptick. Although it would be hard to walk away from a potential trip to the postseason, moving on from Calderon or O'Quinn wouldn't hurt much now and could set the wheels in motion for a big summer.

Evan Turner 'worth look' for Knicks

Could Evan Turner be a fit with the Knicks? Will the Sixers make deals this month? Where could the Clippers trade Blake Griffin?

If Knicks fans could choose between the No. 8 seed (and a date with LeBron James' Cavaliers) in the first round this spring or sufficient funds for Conley, the latter would likely be more popular.

athletes typically max out at age 28.

Go look at his numbers, and their trajectory. They're all pretty much starting to trend downward.

we can get vet leadership cheaper. keep Calderon.

If we were 3 years in the future, then he might be our missing piece.

But we're not and he's not.

Just say no.
