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.
Trade rumors are swirling around Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant. It seems possible, maybe even likely, that the team that drafted the NBA All-Star is ready to move him before the trade deadline.
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.
Almost every time there’s an opportunity for progress in the standings, the Memphis Grizzlies fold. Yet they can save their four-game home stand from turning
Ja Morant is making moves to make sure his future isn’t dependent on the NBA. As the Memphis Grizzlies guard’s on-court status with the team remains uncertain due to various factors, the two-time All-Star has quietly made a move that has expanded his footprint beyond the league.
What began as a disagreement with the coaching staff has now bled into something bigger, and potentially final. Ja Morant has not moved past the one-game suspension handed down by the Grizzlies earlier this season, according to ESPN, and the fallout may ultimately end his tenure with the franchise.
The idea of Giannis Antetokounmpo paired with Ja Morant is intoxicating on paper. One is a generational force of nature in the half-court and transition.
The winds of change are blowing through the FedExForum before the NBA Trade Deadline. After a tumultuous few seasons defined by injuries, suspensions, and unmet expectations, the Memphis Grizzlies are entertaining offers for Ja Morant.
Ja Morant is open to a possible trade out of Memphis, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, with sources describing the situation as a mutually agreed-upon exploration between the player and the Grizzlies.
The Rockets will not pursue a trade for Grizzlies star Ja Morant, according to Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports. Even with Houston continuing to monitor the point guard market, Morant is not viewed as a fit.
Despite being linked to Ja Morant after reports surfaced that Memphis is open to trade discussions, neither the Timberwolves nor the Kings is expected to seriously pursue the two-time All-Star, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
During a season in which the Memphis Grizzlies have struggled because of injuries to multiple starters, there is the possibility two-time All-Star guard Ja Morant and the franchise may soon be parting ways.
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.
Three years ago, it felt like Ja Morant would be a member of the Memphis Grizzlies for life. But after injuries, scandals, disappointing postseasons and a coaching change, the Grizzlies are considering trade offers for their two-time All-Star guard.
Before the Sacramento Kings became legitimate NBA Championship contenders in the early 2000s, they were one of the most fun teams in the league (Sports Illustrated called them "The Greatest Show on Court").
