It’s no secret that Grizzlies’ point guard Ja Morant is one of the top remaining trade chips on the market. Memphis, at just 18-23 on the season, feels far away from true contention.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is not pounding the table to get out of Memphis. He just wants answers. According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Jackson does not necessarily want to be traded by the Grizzlies, despite leaguewide chatter suggesting otherwise.
Grizzlies standout Ja Morant may be available. That does not mean he is going to Miami or Milwaukee. ESPN insider Tim Bontemps said he does not expect the Heat or the Bucks to land the Grizzlies’ point guard, despite both teams being loosely linked in recent weeks.
It's hard for everything to go right in the NBA, whether that's due to managerial decisions, bad luck with injuries, or other factors. In league history, there are some moments that stand out, moments that could have gone in a completely different direction and drastically changed the league.

Ja Morant picked an interesting moment to remind everyone what he still looks like when things are right. After missing six games with a right calf injury, Morant returned Sunday and carved up the Magic in a 126-109 Grizzlies win in London.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant has had his name come up regularly in trade rumors over the last several weeks, but he suggested Sunday that he was not the one who was instigating them.
When it comes to the Memphis Grizzlies, criticism of every kind eventually finds its way to Ja Morant. However, he isn’t the only star player on the Grizzlies to get the stick.
Unfortunately for the Memphis Grizzlies, losing significant double-digit leads is becoming a habit. In Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Orlando Magic in Berlin, the Grizzlies surrendered a 20-point first-half advantage, in part due to a disastrous third quarter in which the Grizzlies managed only 12 points and three field goals.
The Hawks intend to sign free agent center Christian Koloko to a two-way contract, reports Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via Twitter).
The Orlando Magic were locked in a tight battle with the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday — until Anthony Black lowered the boom with a powerful dunk over four defenders.
