If I’m Memphis, I go full tilt rebuild and move Ja too. Already got your star haul for Bane, now just get whatever you can for Ja to be rid of that headache he is. Take a gap year and rebuild around JJJ for the next era.


From a purely basketball standpoint I agree with this line of thinking.

The problem is though, Ja is a superstar in terms of popularity in Memphis. Man is Memphis.

I always saw him in the vein of someone like Westbrook. Polarizing as a player but so easy to cheer for when he's on your team.

You can't trade a player like that when he's 25.

Bridges fetches a huge haul of picks. Bane fetches a huge haul of picks. Luka gets the Mavericks one pick, not apples to apples since Dallas got AD as well.

I'm completely clueless as to what the Suns will get for Durant. I just hope the Spurs don't overpay.
