Ja Morant’s trade value was reportedly so low that people around the league wondered if the Grizzlies would buy him out if they couldn’t find a trade, per @KellyIko

Over the past few months, Morant's value around the league had rapidly declined as potential landing spots dried up, so much so that rival executives wondered if the Grizzlies' brass would approach Morant for a buyout if nothing ever materialized.”
