I hope Ty Jerome comes out looking like his favorite player Steve Nash. A taller Nash-light
These 🤡 stay inside a small room and talk about Ja. I have been to 9 countries and I have seen these Jerseys the most.
1. MJ
2. Curry
4. Bron
5. Giannis
6. Ja
7. Luka
He's baaaack!
1 game “is it time to reconsider?” lol absolutely maddening MFers been a non factor for 3 years and people want to keep him?
💙12 #TeamJaMorant
If he wants to stay is probably because there wasnt a good enough offer for him and overall he is a proffessional and needs to keep playing
So are yall saying ja was not hurt?
John Moran & Janet Jackson Jr is Memphis two stars so no I would never get rid of John Moran All bottom line Absolutely TRUE FACTS 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Still planning to trade a global superstar at the beginning of his prime is asinine!
Keep the guy
If they trade him expect seats in the forum to be empty , he is the one that filled these seats, fans hate the coach, medical staff and front office! I won’t be there!
Ja knows where ever he would get traded to wouldn't highlight him as the "face" of the team like the Grizz have. If the offer isn't good, no need to trade him.
I love Chris Herrington but this claim that Ja chose to sit out is complete speculation. We all know the reporting that says Ja’s camp and the FO had a conversation in Berlin. Is it not possible that the team was benching him for trade reasons, but the conversation went well enough for them to play him in London ? Look at Ja’s body language during the Berlin game. If he chose to sit out then he would have been sulking on the sidelines. The fact that he was the teams biggest cheerleader does not fit the narrative of someone intentionally holding out.
Myopic of Herrington to dismiss this possibility altogether & irresponsible of these two to amplify this narrative without having real evidence to support it.
Yall are being nuclear on this one .. he’s a perennial superstar number one shoe in the business and his out reach just expanded even more globally . They can’t trade him . It only toook one game for him to win back the eyes positively . A trade now would already plummet more empty seats in the forum
NO CAM SPENCER IS NOT THE MVP!!…KCP is the MVP just because he regurgitate what the coach says and teaches the guys professionalism…
Ja sits out in Berlin. Translation: He’s mentally checked out.
Ja shines in London. Translation: That should quiet the doubters. Now let’s hear from the real contenders with top offers.
Ja laughs and dances in Berlin. Translation: Freedom energy: a man already packing emotionally.
Ja says he’s loyal.Translation: Not to this team. He’s reassuring the next one.
LIVE WITH IT!
This discussion is meant to drive clicks and engagement. Let’s talk about how Zach Kleiman has screwed over the Grizzlies with his ridiculous trades and hiring this coach.Something is rotten the FO and we need a cleansing.
We gonna stretch and waive Brandon Clark? He cannot possibly have any trade value and has like a year or two left on his deal. At this point it doesn’t seem like he’ll ever be able to handle the physicality of the game any longer but his contract is burdensome. Would literally have to attach a pick to move him atp. With Landale emerging, would be hard to see BC being placed over Landale in the rotation. What y’all think?
skip the first 2 minutes
Should have never been listed anyways. They need the butts in seats, energy in the air, and we have not gotten a healthy product (jerome and etc) to blow anything up yet. In a stacked west we aren't doing as bad as we could given the lack of REAL depth. I don't know any star that does not have an attitude issue. They all test the FO before the business side of things really clicks. Ex: KD, Bron, AI, Carmelo, etc. The who's who act like they are the who's who. Am I tripping? Even on a deeper thought I think seeing Ja be given grace is a bat signal for the youth we have here. He's not as bad on paper but he relates through image and culture. I'd love to seem him grow older and wiser here.
I love how you are on his side when he is balling and you trash Ja, when he's hurt or not performing to your expectations
All these Memphis grizzlies talk shows seem like they’re cool with us losing ja. I didn’t even know locked on grizzlies was before ja morant.
Grizzlies have made dumb moves if they trade ja there never makeing playoff thely be like the knicks in the 00's players going have career highs
Whats up Joe im approaching my 39th year on earth to.are you a 87 baby
