Grizzlies Exploring Ja Morant Trade Before NBA Deadline

After dealing Jaren Jackson Jr. to Utah, the Memphis Grizzlies are still stirring the pot. On SportsCenter, Shams Charania said, "The Grizzlies' conversations around Ja Morant and entertaining offers [are] continuing around the league," and "There's multiple teams with interest in Ja Morant." With Thursday's trade deadline approaching, Memphis is actively gauging market interest in its star point guard. Merlin sees a team testing the market and the clock. Moving Morant would accelerate a rebuild and haul assets, while keeping him bets on salvaging continuity. Multiple suitors will up the price as time slips away, so expect sudden moves or a dramatic standstill as teams jockey for position.
