One game isn’t going to change that. He’s had several good games this season.

Even in a good game like this, he stands around when he doesn’t have the ball in his hand and gets bullied on defense. Then you add in his availability issues (both health related and suspension related), and his trade value is still not great.

Of course he’ll still have good games. That’s never been what the concerns are about

Will you have this energy the next 5 games when hes shooting his normal 40 from te field and 20 from three.

His big statement today was 24 points on 55% shooting

Thats a big game for non stars. Its just a day at the office for the guys in his salary bracket

Season high in assists as well, and he demonstrated what the Grizzlies have needed which is someone who calms down the team when closing out games.

Grizzlies are tied for most blown double digit leads, and they were up 19 vs the Magic last game before collapsing to close out.

I’m not sure of Ja’s future with the Grizzlies or in the league, but if you watched the 4th quarter of the last game and the 4th tonight, it’s night and day. Clinging to a lead that slips away while no one is comfortable being in charge, vs calmly handling business with a PG who controls the flow of the game.

Of course if you’re an anti-Ja Grizzlies fan your hope is Pippin Jr and Jerome can be primary ball handlers, and Coward continues to develop his clutch confidence like how he daggered the Nets.

I mean, it doesn’t prove the poster wrong. People were claiming he was washed.

Jarxzz | United States

And I might agree with them

It depends what you mean by washed but he’s significantly declined from his peak, he’s not an awful player but giving him big money and high usage would be very scary

This is wrong lmao. This sub heavily overrates how much GMs care about his antics.

The issue was he is never healthy and played bad when he is. If he played 65+ games a season and had his 2022 numbers he would warrant a haul despite his antics. Thats just not the case

I don’t think he cares if he is traded for scraps. This was a favor to the grizzlies and showing off to potential teams to get deal done to see what they will get.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the grizzlies choose to wait until summer if teams still won’t give up the bare minimum for what the Grizzlies want.

To be fair, there is still his injury concerns. However I do think Matching Contracts + Young Prospect is fair. Picks are a lot more important now due to the CBA so it’s still a reach and not because Ja isn’t worth it, but that his contract + injury history is a real concern with how restrictive these Aprons are.

Lol I recall a post addressing the possibility of Milwaukee trading for Ja a few days ago and there were legit folks talking about how “the Bucks have a good thing going with Kevin Porter Jr and Ryan Rollins in the backcourt”, and the comment had upvotes.

Ja has had a poor 24 months, relative to his talent, but his talent is still worth the risk in my opinion, especially for franchises like the Bucks.

Ja still fine. Honestly him pairing with Zach may just be the truth (ofc if those reports of him not wanting to play for the Grizz are false).

Great performance. Not sure how much it really changes things– a lot of folks are saying he’s “so back” and “the price has gone way up”, so if he regresses to his season averages to 40% from the floor and 20% from three next game is the opposite true and his value is gonna go way down again? It’s gonna do little to change how smart front offices feel– you take the larger and more recent context and weigh it against an outlier. Not saying you discount this performance today– but you give it (and any more games he plays before getting traded) appropriate weight in your consideration.

The upcoming series of events for Ja are quite predictable.

Gets traded, plays well and is very entertaining during the honeymoon period , maybe this even last long enough for him to get another big extension (unlikely)

Then he either has off the court issues or gets hurt and the fans turn on him, he is once again in trade rumors, rinse and repeat until he is close to 30. Then it becomes clear to teams that the juice is not worth the squeeze and he becomes a minimum player or is out of the league

Why are you turning this into some racial issue? Ja is a point guard that relies exclusively on his athleticism with a worsening jump shot. He could turn around his attitude in a new team but that doesn’t mean he can turn back the clock. He wasted the past few years when he practically had the NBA in the palm of his hand as the future face of the league.

WhoUCuh

1 | 32 minutes ago

And?

Why can’t he get that back in a new environment?

Is this who Ja will be the rest of his career?

Relevant-Bonus-2735

1 | 30 minutes ago

Are you implying that being traded to a new team will lead him to regaining some of the previous athleticism he had as he creeps ever to 30? Or are you stating that the guard who’s had a declining jump shot since he entered the league will rediscover how to shoot to his previous levels or even improve?

WhoUCuh

1 | 27 minutes ago

Did you see him today?

Why are you making it seem like he’s completely lost all ability to be a good player in this league.

Relevant-Bonus-2735

1 | 25 minutes ago

Have you seen his body of work for the entire season? Before you try to waive his issues due to not wanting to commit to the team just note that doesn’t help his case of being someone worth trading noticeable value for.

He is still a positive player in the NBA but he is a guard with no jump shoot that relies on his athleticism that is possibly the worst long term outlook.

WhoUCuh

Russell Westbrook still going strong my man.

Relevant-Bonus-2735

1 | 17 minutes ago

Do you see his contract in comparison?

As a reminder Morant is shooting 40% from the field alongside 20% from 3. That absolutely doesn’t inspire hope from the next years nor does all the advanced stats showing a noticeable decline on top of injury issues.

Comparing him to Westbrook who at the same age was an MVP level candidate while stats paint Morant as a replacement level player

A good coach might be able to set him straight, similar to how Jordi Fernandez (in team Canada) and Ime (at Rockets) set Dillion Brooks straight.
