I’m not for tanking as a philosophy but I sure as hell support single season, opportunistic tanking when the world leaves you no better option.
We have to get serious.

I very much want Jaren to be a long term Grizzly but there would be the tiniest comfort in a group of fans seeing just how much more the league values Jaren right in front of their faces.

Not that it really matters but I guess we left behind 17 minutes per game of center play without a replacement given Koloko’s 10 day expired.

Perhaps I’m naive but the notion that Ja is currently sitting out while the team looks for a trade, will pop back up to play two games in Europe, then will return to the bench until a trade seems WILD to me.

This feels like piling on and it’s purely speculation but one thing people correctly note is that Ja’s teammates have always loved him.
I wonder if that is actually more reason to get the trade done. If the most influential guy in a young locker room is against the organization that’s not great.

What a perfectly strange moment to have four days rest followed by two games on a different continent.
Drama filled days ahead no doubt.

Ja’s calf is so hurt he can’t even stand to celebrate with his teammates during the comeback. Must really be in pain.

Tough day for Jock Landale. People I gave my tickets to just texted, “Who is big guy that looks like Logan Paul?”

I’m starting to think the available roster for the Europe games may not get thousands of new fans hooked on the Grizzlies.

Sounds possible that we may see an Edey update in the coming days that takes us from joking about tanking to sincerely looking at how low we can go.
Ja traded for picks, SPJ/Edey/Jerome play fewer than 15 games combined, Jaren shut down in March with TBD.
Oh we could get bottom 6. I believe.

While the Raptors will come up for Morant for the same reason that they'll come up for other stars — they have their picks, desire to get better + 5 contracts between 20-40 M — I feel even more strongly they'll avoid Ja than other names on the block.

Why Grizzlies put Ja Morant on the trade market and which teams could be interested
Morant is now at the center of the NBA trade market solar system, and he might be leaving Memphis sooner than later.

From Fischer via the Stein Line Substack it doesn’t sound like a Ja trade is anywhere close.
Sounds like this is early stages and he doesn’t have a single team who is definitely in for the idea of trading for Ja.
Also frames as more of a mutually agreed upon thing between team and player.

Jaren has adapted kind of a platitude filled, say a bunch but give em nothing persona with the media in recent years but he seemed legitimately bummed about the Ja news.

I think it’s well south of 50% but if I could get really good odds I’d want to bet a few bucks on Ja playing Sunday.
Would be a fitting addition to the season of weird

At least we got a haul for a guy who is in the east play-in and still nowhere near the all-star team.
Trade is the lone good thing for the Grizz since who knows when.

Based on the wording from Damichael here, I’m guessing sometime earlier this week the Grizzlies told Ja they were having discussions and he could be traded much like they did with Bane at the end of last season.
