The Grizzlies really had it all in 2022:
PG: Ja Morant
SG: Desmond Bane
SF: Dillon Brooks
PF: Jaren Jackson Jr.
C: Steven Adams
They should’ve given it another go 🤦♂️
Ja Morant is on the Blazers.
LaMelo Ball is on the Timberwolves.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the Heat.
Some random guy just got home from a really long vacation and is so damn confused.
@PolymarketHoops Scoot's gonna be traded, dame sg, ja pg and jrue either traded or coming off the bench as 6th man (they should do that and no trade him)
BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN.
Ja Morant looked destined to become one of the NBA’s next superstars 😢💔
🔸 Elite talent.
🔸 Electrifying highlights.
🔸 Superstar charisma.
Then his career took an unexpected turn:
🔻 Multiple off-court controversies.
🔻 Team and league suspensions.
🔻 Season-ending injuries
Now, according to ESPN, the Grizzlies are struggling to find a team willing to trade for Morant.
Just a few years ago, he looked untouchable.
Today, he’s trying to rebuild his career.
Crazy but true fact:
Ja Morant has averaged 25+ PPG a total of 3 times in his 7 year career
Paul George has averaged 25+ PPG only 1 time in his 16 year career
March 2023: suspended
April 2023: injured for season
May 2023: suspended
January 2024: injured for season
December 2024: home robbed
February 2025: loses grandma🕊️
March 2025: coach gets fired
April 2025: loses friend🕊️
April 2025: injured for season
November 2025: suspended
January 2026: injured for season
May 2026: loses friend🕊️
Whatever way you want to spin it, Ja Morant has had a very difficult last couple of years and a lot of it is underplayed/not taken serious because of some suspensions that nobody would care about if he was hooping
Just a reminder Ja Morant never been arrested nor charged with a crime and has been suspended twice for legal possession
Just so we’re clear of what to expect @NBA
This tip-out is my favorite individual basketball play ever. Rest in peace to Brandon Clarke. Thinking about his teammates today. There are endless pictures of them with Brandon smiling and embracing. I hope they can find some peace, along with his family.
