Most people don’t care about his off court antics. Simply put Ja just can’t pull this type of value. Dude’s a liability and no team wants to be the one to pay him his third contract.

So what is Memphis doing trading him at depressed value or letting him walk when he hits FA? I don’t think you would get anyone close to as good as Franz via trade. Like Zion you guys are never going to recover full value for him.


Ja should get more than Fox got.


Of course...the Zion comparisons are ludicrous. Zion doesn't play - there was more talk of waiving him than collecting a haul just a few months ago. Incredible electrifying player (like Ja) but a completely different level of risk.


Ja might be out of the league before Zion.

As for Fox I’m not a fan. Wouldn’t have traded for him. Ja is miles better but roughly a similar trade value. Memphis could get a couple of picks and rotation players but not much more if anything at all.

I wonder why Ja for Durant hasn't been batted around?

Mainly because Durant is a dinosaur
