Trading him would be a big blow on the business end.

Basketball wise he can't stay healthy or suspended.

Either way they are screw.


Oh please they are far from being in Chicago, Charlotte or Phoenix's situation of being in a NBA wasteland.

They have plenty of good young players and now future draft picks and cap space to work with.

They can live with JA and his injury and behavioural issues. They can still be a play off team next season and make some noise

Think it's annoying how so many opposition fans claim to speak on behalf of Memphis fans

I assume most Grizz fans want to keep JA and JJJ (at this point in time at least)

Seen some of the pitiful trade offers for JJJ. Downright insulting and arrogant (Aussie Reaves and a future first lol, give me a spell)

I'm a grizzlies fan ever since they move to Memphis.

I love my Grizzlies and Ja but let's be real he has never played a full season and gets injured in every single playoff series.

I do agree on the dumb trade ideas.

How about this trade - discussed many times - but serves as everyone starts fresh trade.

Morant/JJJ for Trae/Risacher/picks until Memphis says yes

For Hawks, fresh start with Ja next to big defensive guard Daniels. JJJ slides in perfect too. And who doesn’t want to see a big 3 of JJJ, JJ, and Ja?
Okongwu/JJJ
JJJ/Jalen
Jalen
Daniels/Mann
Morant

For Grizzlies, life after Morant and can treadmill with Trae (instead of Ja and JJJ) but with more youth and picks. If right offer comes along for Trae, kick in the full rebuild.
Edey/Huff
GGJ/Clarke
Risacher
VWJ/KCP
Trae/Cole/SPJ
