Potential Memphis Grizzlies Trades For Ja Morant


Listen Later

For the first time, the Memphis Grizzlies are officially entertaining

trade offers for Ja Morant ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline,
according to reporting from Shams Charania of ESPN.
In this livestream, we break down why Memphis is listening now, what
rival executives believe the Grizzlies are prioritizing in return, and
how Morant’s long-term contract through the 2027–28 season impacts his
trade market. Multiple teams are pursuing Morant, with league belief
that Memphis would target draft capital and young players if a deal
materializes.
We also analyze the Grizzlies’ broader roster context and performance
profile this season. Despite ranking top-five in points per game and
rebounds, Memphis has hovered around league average defensively and sits
in the middle of the Western Conference picture. With Morant limited to
18 games due to injury, the emergence of young contributors and the
continued rise of Jaren Jackson Jr. has forced the front office to
evaluate multiple paths forward.
This stream dives into:
Why Memphis is weighing a Morant trade now rather than later
How Ja Morant’s on-court production and availability factor into his
value
The Grizzlies’ cap sheet, roster construction, and flexibility under the
apron system
What a post-Morant build could look like around Jackson Jr. and the
current young core
Why Memphis still remains open to keeping Morant as a central piece of a
retool
This is a full front-office-style breakdown, blending reporting, cap
mechanics, roster data, and on-court fit as one of the NBA’s most
seismic trade possibilities comes into focus.
