Ja Morant Trade Bombshell: Grizzlies Want Young Assets
Merlin sees the moment arrive: the Memphis Grizzlies are open to trading Ja Morant, a report first surfaced by ESPN’s Shams Charania. The piece outlines realistic suitors and sample packages from Houston, Milwaukee, Sacramento, Minnesota and Miami, all centered on young players, expiring deals and protected draft assets. Morant still offers elite playoff scoring at 26, yet injuries, suspensions and fit issues have lowered what Memphis can demand. Merlin knows the choice is blunt and immediate. Memphis must weigh a teardown for picks and prospects against trying to steady the ship around Jaren Jackson Jr. Any acquiring team will be buying high upside and accepting clear risks. Expect creative structures, player options and protected picks to shape any eventual deal.
