@luisaz1513 @talking_jeff @esidery Sorry, that’s silly. Kleiman will just wait if there is no market.

@talking_jeff @ImaDepper @esidery Because if his value is rock bottom it can only get worse if you play him. He gets hurt that’s 2 years almost 90 million in salary remaining. Get what you can get for him and since it’s probably not picks it’s guys you can swap for more later.

A realistic framework for what the Grizzlies could receive in a trade for Ja Morant this offseason:
Timberwolves receive: Morant
Suns receive: Julius Randle
Grizzlies receive: Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, Donte DiVincenzo, 2nd-round draft capital
English
@talking_jeff @luisaz1513 @esidery Kleiman would sit, he can be patient. But I think there will be a market for Ja post draft. Not a Des or Jaren level deal, but the Grizz will get some return. If there isn’t a market, the Grizz can wait until February. It’s not like they are expected to compete next season.
English
@luisaz1513 @ImaDepper @esidery Why wouldn't the Grizzlies just sit on him if they aren't competitive? It makes less than 0 sense.
You give up assets if you are trying to win a title, not to maybe be in the play-in game. And if they want to trade an asset, the Grizz have a ton of 1st round picks.

Ja Morant will be Named Western Conference Finals MVP in 2027
English
@luisaz1513 @esidery I literally just said Kleiman probably isn’t expecting draft assets. And no team trades for 3 overpaid guys to try to flip them later. We don’t have the roster spots for a 3 for 1 anyway, so it’s moot.
English
@ImaDepper @esidery They aren’t getting draft assets for him. His contract is huge and he’s barely played the past 3 szns with off the court issues. They have to give away assets to get rid of him. This deal is like here you can probably flip these guys worst deal is JG but also more value than Ja.
English
@luisaz1513 @esidery No, I’m disagreeing with you, not agreeing. Those 3 guys are all overpaid, imo, and have multiple years left in their contracts. I think Grizz would take a bad player on an expiring deal with minimal draft assets over that deal.
English
@ImaDepper @esidery Exactly and I think Grayson and Royce is a great return for him because imo they’d be worth more valuable draft assets as it sits rn for Ja. I’d say something like this because the Suns want to be in the 1st this gives you essentially 3 expiring deals that you can flip for more.
English
Yeah they definite have to fix that part before they vote on it. I’m pissed on behalf of the Grizzlies
Mike Vorkunov@MikeVorkunov
The NBA will vote on tanking reform this week. One consequence bothering some team execs: it changes value of draft picks already traded out. Many 2027-2029 1st round picks have already been dealt. Those deals will look a little (or lot) different. Free🔓: nytimes.com/athletic/73038…
English
@luisaz1513 @esidery Fine. But we got a lot of draft picks in the Des and Jaren trades. If the return is this poor, I think Grizzlies will want at least want expiring contracts.
English
@PAKA_FLOCKA @LiaudwinJr Yeah. I think Kleiman is happy to sit at 3 and let Cam drop to him.
English
@LiaudwinJr While 1 gets you your guy, 3 + 16 arguably better value given the discrepancy between AJ/DP/Cam (which is low) + a chance at another rotation player
English
@PAKA_FLOCKA Read the article. It’s two anonymous execs not with OKC dreaming up a mock trade. Not Siegel’s fault, Legion Hoops overhyped it.
English
Not sure 12 + 17 is hardly enough to get to even 5
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
REPORT: OKC could trade their two 1st-round picks this summer in an attempt to move up and land Cam Boozer, per @BrettSiegelNBA.

@LegionHoops @BrettSiegelNBA Pathetic click bait. That’s not what Siegel says in the article.

@SayMane901 @HeardItsDEE @OhhMar24 @FastlifeMitch15 Ja Morant CAREER playoff series wins - ONE! lol. Everyone ignore Ed, he’s in the Ja cult. There is no cure.

@APH00PS @BrettSiegelNBA Literally zero chance the Grizzlies want to move back 9 spots 😂

The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely attempt to trade out of their No. 12 and No. 17 draft selections this Summer— with two executives believing they will attempt to trade up to draft Cameron Boozer, per @BrettSiegelNBA.

@SayMane901 @nicktooquick2 Lol. You did before, but then you unblock, because you desperately care what I think. And you know I'm right.

@ImaDepper @nicktooquick2 So you’re just here to troll
Got it may as well block you then

This was AFTER some said Ja Morant quit on the Memphis Grizzlies btw
NBA@NBA
Despite the loss, Ja Morant gave it his all tonight! 40 PTS | 16-22 FGM The 10th 40-point game of his career 🔥
English
@SayMane901 @nicktooquick2 No, they didn't. You live in a dream land, Eddie. Anyone who can't admit that Ja quit can't be taken seriously on other Grizz opinions. And Ja will be gone soon, thank God.
English
@ImaDepper @nicktooquick2 The rest of the Players also supported Ja for calling the coach out
And it’s starting to look like Soon is longer than you think FakeGrizzFan
English
@nicktooquick2 @SayMane901 Yep. The contract extension, the Grizz not letting his idiot friend come to games, the Grizz supporting the coach when Iisalo called Ja out - it will never end with this prima donna malcontent. So happy he will soon be gone.
English
@SayMane901 there was like a 2 week span where he became insufferable. The moping around, not getting back on D, complaining to refs, going thru the motions, making post game comments, etc. Jus unprofessional behavior trying to make a point. In the end it was all about the contract extension
English
@SayMane901 Everyone but idiots said he quit on the Lakers. And he got suspended. But some, like you, feel the need to dispute the obvious.
English
like cmon, peak ja was roughly 26-8-5, an automatic paint touch, and one of the best passers in the league. still one of the best passers in the league. career 26-8-6 in the offs. what is castle where he's the #1 on his own team and not on the same team as wemby?
English
@nicktooquick2 @SluggaSports What harm would it do to trade him? Question isn’t one of harm. The front office is done with him and his family and his entourage. Finally. Thank God.
English
@SluggaSports what harm would it do to just, I dunno, keep him?
English
Yeah time to pack up these Ja Morant trades.
Have any of y’all seen one Memphis would say yes to? I certainly have not.
Evan Sidery@esidery
A realistic framework for what the Grizzlies could receive in a trade for Ja Morant: Nets receive: Morant Memphis receives: Nolan Traoré, Terance Mann, Noah Clowney, Day’Ron Sharpe, Ziaire Williams A pure salary dump for Memphis, while Brooklyn has incentive to win in 2027.
