The Confusing Developments With Ja Morant In Portland
One of the more confusing parts of the offseason and moving off Ja was what the Grizzlies got back for him.
Was the return for Ja a by product of a slow moving Grizzlies’ front office or is there something deeper going on?

Ja doesn't play
I get all that with trading him earlier but the franchise had to try literally every possible path to keep him around. Like everyone says you just don't get handed superstars. Just feels like a hindsight scenario more than something they actually should have done.
I agree they kept him too long but it is what it is, time to move on can't change the past and I prefer focusing on today and the future with the new additions and the growth of the young guys , I don't want to see another hockey rotation from iisalo if he continues to play starters 4-5 minutes at a time he's going to hold the whole team back and will have to go
I wrestle with this too. The best time to trade him value-wise other than before off court stuff revved up was after last offseason but it would’ve gotten destroyed then too tho. The offers and rumors were out there but they probably should’ve traded him then. I think they were hoping to get more for him last season after the playoff injury but it didn’t happen. Value got worse
If this is you guys position that Portland didn’t make a big deal about acquiring Ja, then you obviously haven’t been watching social media. Did you miss the “call Ja” media, blitz, for example?
It’s like holding on to an old girlfriend after she cheated on you several times. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on you. Stop glazing over this guy, he obviously didn’t want to be in Memphis! Ja is about the 💰 only
