But I think him no longer being asked to be the #2 guy would be huge.

I’ve said it a few times this year, but a JJJ/Ingram swap this summer would be very interesting. A wing scorer and true #2 scorer like Ingram to go along with Ja would be very interesting to see.

Yeah need a top option next to Morant and Dillon Brooks and JV and even Jaren Jackson aren't the answers.

Ingram is significantly better than JJJ so that swap is never happening also JJJ is injury prone and foul prone. Potential is the only thing he has going for himself right now. He's a question mark going into his 4th season.

Obviously the Grizzlies need more talent but there needs to be some internal development. Ja needs to develop a jump shot and JJJ and Dillon Brooks and needs to develop at least an average basketball IQ. They're going into their 4-5 seasons in the league and both make the same dumb mistakes and never learn from them.

Is Ja the best option to guard Mitchell since he may be the only one fast enough to do so for Memphis?

Simmons brought up a JJJ for Wiseman deal and I thought that was a pretty nice deal. Then add some shooting around them.

Hope that helps JJJ confidence. A big game by him would help the Grizz a lot

No. Warriors will save the Mavs franchise by taking Porzingis off our hands. That will be their shooting.

Grizz playing great defense

JJJ had a good flash and then has struggled. Not a great finish to the quarter for Memphis.

Jazz seem willing to let Memphis shoot the long ball. Grizz made them pay a bit but don't think Quin is going away from that strategy

Quinn looks like Dr Frankenstein or something. Like he's about to explode on the announcers, fall down in tremors. LOL!

I love him, though.

still think it's insane that there's been so many Joker movies and Quin Snyder has never starred in one.

Utah moves the ball better than any team in the league...it's just a gorgeous style of basketball they play.
