This is a good chance to buy low on him, but there's a good reason why people aren't wanting to give up a lot for him.


He also isnt helping himself get traded. Came back after the suspension and in his media interview, looks to still be a pouting idiot. He should have faked interest or said something about how his previous interview negatively effects the team moral and somehow take ownership and fake growth at best to possibly show suiters that he isn't just a little punk. But he really kind of doubled down and seemed like he has learned nothing. No team willingly takes that on while shelling out great assets.

I'd role the dice if I ran the Wolves on pairing Ja up with Ant,it's a big swing that could win them a title or get everyone fired.

I think a fair deal with Ja current state would be Reid,Conley & Divincenzo.That would send back one of the All time Grizziles players in Conley that the fans still love(yes likely playing in his final season) Reid who could be a long term starter at PF/SF on a good deal(think highly likely Jackson gets moved as well if Ja is trade for a full restart) and lastly Divincenzo who's one of the better 6th men in the league and a great deal that they could easily flip to a contender if they wanted for picks.

A team definitely will, but they just won't offer much, and Memphis won't really want to take what is offered. It's looking a lot like Butler at the end of Miami.

I’d much rather not get everyone fired and stay the course waiting for another opportunity to come up. Ja isn’t it, man.

Quick Dick, no picks.

I dont believe OKC would add Ja even if it were for free (as in acquired for nothing and paid a vet minimum.

He isn't a tier 2 star, I'm not even sure if he is tier 3 at this point. His attitude and lack of professionalism would be enough to derail what OKC built even if he was free of charge.

He's way too toxic, there's no way in hell I'd trade anything for him. We seem to have assembled a group of guys that are playing hard and have good attitudes, Ja would just ruin that.

Nothing and at this point it wouldn't surprise me if Ja takes a year off or two from the league because he's really running with this "everybody(media, team, league office) is against him and out to get him" theme. Social media probably isn't helping because nowadays any public figure or celebrity can go online and find thousands(if not more) of followers, fans, leachers, who will tell you that you're right, never wrong, nobody gets you, and everybody is just a hater and wants to see you fail.

He needs to be a low volume pg at this point. On a team where he's mostly just running an offense, taking open 3's and getting into the paint. Otherwise he's gonna find himself out of the league before he's 30.
