Jah Rastafari Morant
Trade deadline come we do what we do every year get a bunch 10 day contract players. We got lucky to even acquire Ingram last season.
I would take ja over ad anyday
IF Mil bucks is part of a mix, raps should offer QUICK/LAWSON/ABAJI + picks to the pool and what ever bucks can add to that pool with picks and players to get MEMPHIS what they want for MORANT………….. basically RAPS get GIANNIS and BUCKS get MORANT and GRIZ can get whatever the best picks and/or players they get from bucks and raps pool of offers. if that works out it would be win/win for all said teams
this is just an idea . in the end i just want this raps not to do anything stupid 😛
edit holy crap : just tried trade machine and raps have to give up quick/poetl/agbaji/mogbo to make this salary work 😛
This is increasingly suspicious if there is kickbacks involved … It's contract after contract not just one off one.
I think ja needs gun control and he will thrive in Canada
Hard no if cmb is involved
thats a headache for the raptors, Ja is a cancer… theres no cure for that… hes a broken soul…only turning point for him is near death experience
Raptors culture can fix morant
Ayeeeee
Ja won’t be allowed in Canada with his pew pew convictions
Ben please for the love of anything holy do not show us JA's stats ever again 😅😅😅
Just let this team play full year, we should wait until Off season to worry about. Let see how far this group can go
Seeing all these other digest channels, Ben, you do the best of all with the background, delivering news and all of that.
Get Ja now… only chance we’ll have…. It’s beyond current stats… he’s needs a new setting that’s all
Shout out to julian a nxt raptor youtuber he suggested a 3 way trade ja to miami, iq to grizzlies with pick and ochai( id put a sweetner if needed) and we get hero from miami. Id much rather Hero over Ja. Ball handler that can shoot. I think its a win for all teams involved
I'm not mad at getting Ja but DONT trade RJ to do it…The addition of Ja will re-wire our offense. A lot of cutting, slashing and up-tempo playing. I don't THINK catch and shoot 3s will be our game (not that it really is), but it will be more obvious with his addition. A relentless, potent offense that runs constantly. If nothing else, it'll be fun to watch. It'll be dangerous however, if everyone runs hard like that on BOTH side of the floor
Morant & clark for IQ and Poetl not perfect but works on trade generator for financial reasons….. doesn’t really says anything about team chemistry 😮 i still think its an upgrade still need at least 1 7 footer
get off poetl and iq contracts and toss in mobo.
A hell no to Ja!!! Pick up a solid big man for sure and add a efficient defensive minded to the rotation and keep everybody if possible 💯
To add. If this Ja trade goes through, We could easily trade RJ + First Rounder for Trey Murphy and Yves Missi!
Maybe even trade Jakob for Gafford as well!
Projected Starters:
Ja Morant
Trey Murphy
Brandon Ingram
Scottie Barnes
Daniel Gafford
CMB and RJ should never be included in any trade package.
🤣 Stop..is this Grizzlies leaking these rumors, listen we don't want Ja Morant, we do want 2 trade IQ. We need a Center and a 3d defensive wing.
No thanks.
I like IQ, I think Poeltl’s injuries is what hurt his development as a starter b/c Scottie isn’t big time a P&R guy. B.I., Scottie, Shead & CMB are all Southern guys…Ja would likely fit in with them very well. CMB & Ja are both from SC, sounds like a good culture to me…especially having RJ as an ambassador to enlighten the guys on adapting to Canada.
Poeltl n Quick and Richard would be a solid trade. No CMB no RJ. Shed should be our new starting Point
I don't care how Ja played 2 years ago. This year his stats are no better than IQ's, his salary is higher, and he is still trash talking team mates. NO. Let's see some realistic trades, please!
Im not about this, we need a point guard who can hit some god damn threes
Ja Morant , DOESN'T FIT THE RAPTOR'S SQUAD , A TROUBLE MAKER THAT WOULD DESTROY THE CHEMISTRY IN RAPTOR'S LOCKER ROOM !
don't do this
Ja signed with Miami
I agree that IQ is the better distance shooter than Ja but there is no question that Ja is the better point guard and creator.
This trade with the Grizzlies might make sense to move off the IQ contract, get another big, and get under the tax all in one swing. Thoughts anyone:
IMMANUEL QUICKLEY (SG/PG) $32.5M (4yrs flat) + OCHAI AGBAJI (SG) $6.3M (1yr) + GRADEY DICK (SG) $4.9M (2yrs increasing) = $43.8M Outgoing
+ 2026 2nd Rd (via LAL and no protections) + 2027 2nd RD (no protections)
JA MORANT (PG) $39.4M (3yrs increasing) + JOCK LANDALE (C) $2.2M (1yr) + JAYLEN WELLS (SG) $1.9M (3yrs increasing).= $43.6M Outgoing
The Grizzlies would have to waive a player if they did not match the number of Raptor players in the trade.
The Raptors get under the Cap by $176K
CMB is our anunoby replacement. that type of player is very hard to find! in fact, i think he has higher potential than og and could exceed him in a few years. he moves better and is an incredible passer! he might not amount to the shooter of og, but as a rebounder, playmaker and defender, we found our guy. he should be untouchable!
Rj is more valuable than Morant. Morant has to have the ball to be effective. He is a below average 3pt shooter who can't play off ball. His best asset is his athleticism. Sabonis is the player the Raptors need. Rj needs to stay a Raptor. Quick,Dick, and 1 first for Sabonis
I would prefer to overpay for Quickly for the next 2 years. His contract will be more tradable then.
We're a bottom of the league shooting 3's why make it worse. Play this team out for the year. Pick up a big man and see what pieces are needed in the offseason
Memphis and Sacramento need to stop playing around and just swap Ja and Sabonis
In the nba you don’t just trade players you also trade salaries …….if you have all low priced players and want a star like Giannis you have to give up 5-6 guys to salary match …….IQ big salary makes it one for one
