the streets of portland just became less safe

Portland Gun Blazers?

Lol as if they exist

That was a gamble they were willing to take.

Most of the actual Jailblazers squad were just smoking weed, not committing real crimes

Some of you seem to be struggling with the “most of” part of the comment

I don’t think any of the actual jail blazers went to jail either.

For real. To me it seems like kind of a no-brainer flyer type move. Upside could be great and if not, it was still worth a… shot.

I would’ve traded Kris Murray and Grant for a late first lmao this is amazing if Ja plays even 40 games

Getting rid of that Jerami Grant contract instantly makes this a good trade

Yeah it feels like only a year or two ago he was one of THE most valuable guys in the league between his production, age and upside. And now he’s got role player level trade value, brutal

No one liked that oops all centers season. We’re fucking back!

Is it 2021 again

This the small ball final boss.

They trying to copy our 5 pg lineup

the rumored Celtics deal? Jaylen Brown for Scoot/Sharpe and a truckload of picks?

I’m interested even though we already have like 10 guards

hey i thought he improved a ton last year he was making impact plays

Didn’t he have a 30 point game in the playoffs this year?

He’s still somehow like the 5th best player in his draft

“run and gun” is why Ja is being traded in the first place

Wow I missed that news.

He looks a lot like Keegan Murray.

Really good defender, smart player with great intangibles, and a shot so bad that he is entirely unplayable.

He is actually really good at everything basketball related aside from shooting. Guess Portland traded a non-shooter for an actual shooter.

How long can the Celtics and Blazers play hot potato with that man ffs

that’s a wrap

Toumani being the best 3 pt shooter of that group is not a good look.

You do realize you have Dame right?

Doesn’t Dame start?

Tribute video already. We were so innocent 2022 Ja Morant fans.

As a Grizz fan I’ll never forget them putting Ja and Luka side by side on TNT before a game asking who is the future of the league. Ja was done soon after. Honestly I just wished we kept him and saw what he could do with the new team

I wish he had avoided all the off court stuff too, but injuries derailed his career more than anything.

Bye scoot

Dame will be 36 at the start of the season and played 0 games last year.

Jrue is 36.

Scoot is still figuring out the league.

Its a hunch, but I think my Hornets are going to get Scoot or Jrue. They need some guard depth behind Coby and have a big trade exception.

this is a great deal for Portland

Shit lol

We were lucky harden didn’t get drafted there dear god

He is indeed a caliber guy

Had less trade value than Miles Bridges somehow

Memphis was begging anyone to take him it was that crap

As much as it pains me to say, Dame is no longer a key part of the team, he’s happy to be here and we’re happy to have him here and I do think he’ll provide great value but the team is no longer viewed best in context of him, its a different era now

They have generational talent down there at Sassy’s.

Acropolis my beloved

I really wanted to see Jrue and Dame share the floor together. They’ve always been the perfect compliments to each other

What kind of trade is that lmao

You take the upside of Ja 100%. If Ja can go back to how he was, no matter how unlikely, then this is the best chance to buy low on an amazing player
