How do Jerami Grant, Cameron Boozer, and more fit Memphis’ future after Grizzlies trade Ja Morant?
The end of the Ja Morant era was painful, but necessary after a long and difficult conclusion. With Cameron Boozer firmly the new “face of the franchise” and Jerami Grant the newest highest paid Grizzly, what comes next for Memphis? Host Joe Mullinax breaks all that down, plus the point guard position post-Ja and GG Jackson/Olivier-Maxence Prosper’s contract options being picked up, on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies!

I'd be starting Grant at the 3 for sure! Maybe he's not the long term answer at 3 but he'd more than suffice for this upcoming season. I like Jaylen but he's not starting caliber
I didn’t want to get rid of Ja but Grant is a good player, I’m not sure if we needed him because we have to many forwards and I thought GG’s development will be sacrificed. But this coach does sub a lot . I expect more trades so Murray could be attached with santi when he gets traded.
It's good value considering. I'll take the best player that plays over the best player on the bench.
If Ja stays healthy can we all agree this was a terrible mistake all around. For Ja and the FO
I harldy ever agree with anything Joe says but Wells going to the bench and not starting i definitely agree with! Wells is a bench player he is not a starter. Especially when the Grizz are ready to really compete.
No more injury report shenanigans
100% agree with you. Grant is not only a solid, productive pick up, he's not a distraction. If Edey and Ty Jerome can stay healthy, this team can battle for a playoff spot
Ty Jerome is really really good
A players value is more than just talent. Ja has great talent but very injury prone and his attitude could be better. These issues really depreciate his worth. Time to move on. A fresh start for Ja might be the best thing for him
I dont thru cut murray
Grizzlies should of traded ant man for ja straight up money
Good luck grizzlies
Miss you ja thank you
Get rid of Walter and Kris saw all I needed to see from Walter last year and small looks like a avatar and has a higher ceiling than ole Walt
Man i miss ja 😪 after that series with golden state I've never been so excited about and memphis team I wasn't even upset we lost at the time just excited about the years to come so sad what has taken place since
with our luck Ja averages 70 games a season and goes back to being an All-Star in Portland………
Love the optimism Joe, but na we need more trades. Just like that we’re throwing GG back outta the line up. If GG doesn’t get more minutes this year, just trade him let him blossom somewhere else and see what you can get back. Better yet, flip Jeremi Grant
Karim better
Great Podcast. Who do you think the Grizzlies will release to make the max roster size?
I think Jerami Grant can be a solid piece for the Grizzlies… if he's not traded. Any truth to the excerpt I saw posted on X that Zach Kleiman was trying to trade up to 5 or 7 in the draft to get a guard (Wagler, etc.)?
Karim is the same size as boozer start him
Its scottie pippen time now,ive been saying he's better then mike conley for some years now.lets put that to the test
Ty
Cedric
Karim
Cameron
Zach
Did DeMicheal get traded too? Where he been 😂 But you doing great Joe
So does Boozer change his number now?
I think the Ja news reported by local media has been lowkey childish. I’m not surprised he was traded, but surprised at the condescending talk around Ja’s name/game.
This team doesn’t have shit exciting about them it’s a new era this team lame asf.. FedEx forum will be giving out floor seats for 29.99 with this boring ass team
Grant should start because Cam and Edey will benefit from his presence on the floor. But that doesn't mean he has to play starters minutes. In fact, keeping him fresh and giving some of our other players more minutes may be the perfect situation.
We didn't😂
Bounce back 12💪🏾
But yes he should start.
Ahhh the Memphis Teddy Bears are at it again. 😂😂
Getting disrespectful
The Grizzlies franchise is a joke. I’m done with this team.
Didn't get a chance to watch all of this. Any word on GG and Omax? We have so many forwards now, and I'm pumped for it, but I also really like both of them and don't want to see them leave.
Grant is a perimeter Forward. He can get red hot from downtown, with ISO drives at the basket.
Clayton and Small will be the guards on the block. It could be next year before the Griz get a shot at another franchise point guard.
I was thinking the same, Grant should start and Wells should sub in as a spark plug.
Edey will have a healthy season and will have a long and dominant career for the grizz. Manifesting.
grizz still a slow, non athletic, non shooting team with a coach who dont know shit
Addition by subtraction. I also think Grant gets traded before this season is over unless he is our locker room anchor.
Completely brokenhearted! I will miss Ja Morant so badly that I will be following the Portland Trailblazers very disappointed in management and the way they have treated their players look at Brandon Clark?? No support for these guys whatsoever! Can you imagine what it’s like for them to be injured and not be able to play the game they love I tell people walk a mile in their shoes. I think Memphis is making a huge mistake getting rid of Ja Morant. And management has to take the blame for a lot of this.
Ty x Edey x coward x boozer x Scottie
Grant don't need to play. Those need to be GG minutes
The whole thing about this whole situation we're giving Carlos boozer the face of the franchise he hasn't played a game yet in the NBA it's too early to be calling a rookie the face of the franchise bro let's face it Memphis dropped the ball they fired Coach Jenkins they brought in new coach John Moran is going to go to Portland it is going to be the next version of Zach Randolph but in reverse Memphis is going to look back and understand that made the worstest trade they ever could make but that's what this new leadership group did they dismantle a team that the other administration brought in and now we're going to see the new look grizzlies suffer we're probably going to be at the bottom of the damn league for a while 1 don't listen to these people they're trying to dress up as trading without Superstar for a bag of chips
Can’t lie I’m glad he’s gone and I absolutely love Ja. You have to want to win with this city. For this city. That was never Ja. The public turned on him and he almost immediately quit on Memphis as if Memphis fans ever turned on him. WE NEVER DID 💯 Grant is a real pro and not a headache. He impacts winning and he’s what we need at the position. Ja and his team used to look down on and talk down on Memphis. That never wins here. The player has to WANT to win HERE.
Portland is a good place for Ja to turn his carreer around. The Blazers give him a second change so he needs to take advantage of that. Be around those legends such as Dame and Jru will be great for Ja to learn from them. On the court and off the court. Both Dame and Jru are hreat mentors and HOF.
What do people feel about Walter Clayton
Grant also can play defense we can have defense better than okc if edey stay healthy
If y’all hate players that rebound then you’ll love Grant! Unless the ball happens to come right to him he’s not getting that rebound.
He said I'm good in the West lol
