Ja Morant Trade To Suns? Grizzlies Get Jalen Green

Ja Morant’s trade value has sunk and teams passed at the deadline, yet the idea of a change of scenery lingers. The proposed swap sends Morant to Phoenix for Jalen Green, Khaman Maluach and a 2027 first. That matters because Morant is still just 26 with two All-Star nods, a Rookie of the Year and a Most Improved Player award, and pairing him with Devin Booker could turn a good Suns team into a true title threat if the fit clicks. Merlin sees the upside and the danger in equal measure. Morant looked strong in his final eight games before a left elbow injury, but turnovers, spacing and character questions make this a high risk, high reward move. Memphis would get salary relief and young pieces, while Phoenix would bet on reigniting a rare talent during Booker’s prime.
