One prominent NBA team may be going all-in on a roster teardown. Rival executives believe that the Memphis Grizzlies could trade away star big man Jaren Jackson Jr.
The tension between Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies has become impossible to ignore. When a franchise cornerstone and the organization that built around him start butting heads, the clock starts ticking on a potential rupture that could define both parties for years to come.
Ja Morant’s future with the Memphis Grizzlies is cloudy as the NBA trade deadline gets closer. The Grizzlies are reportedly “entertaining offers” for a possible Morant trade, and now a “dark-horse” team has emerged as a potential suitor, according to Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports.
Part of what makes the NBA, or any pro sports league, so compelling to watch is the narratives, especially those centered on rivalries. Throughout the decades, the NBA has fostered a number of rivalries, some long-lasting and others short but sweet.
There’s hardly any catching a break for the NBA players this season. And the league, lately, has been unforgiving for anyone to catch up. That is the reality that Kendrick Perkins believes American stars are facing right now.
The Grizzlies may not like what the trade market has to say about Ja Morant. According to Zach Harper of The Athletic, Memphis is facing a limited field of suitors as it weighs its options with Morant, who is just 26 and a two-time All-Star.
The journey from a summer league prospect to a central figure on an opponent’s whiteboard is rarely a quiet one. However, Cam Spencer’s ascent with the bruised-up Memphis Grizzlies has been marked by a subtle but unmistakable shift in the atmosphere whenever the young guard takes the floor.
Following the Atlanta Hawks’ decision to trade Trae Young to the Washington Wizards, the Memphis Grizzlies have begun to entertain the idea of trading away Ja Morant, who’s currently out of action with a calf injury.
Fans love to speculate about trade rumors surrounding their favorite players. It has been a relatively quiet window with only the trade of Trae Young taking place until now.
The Memphis Grizzlies scored the game's final 13 points to erase an eight-point deficit with three minutes remaining and defeat the visiting Brooklyn Nets 103-98 Sunday.
A few days ago I talked about how the Grizzlies can't wait for Zach Edey to return. He is a monster interior presence and has the best defensive impact in the entire NBA.
With no Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Chet Holmgren in the lineup on Friday evening, the Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the Memphis Grizzlies by 19 at halftime inside FedEx Forum.
