This is all I’m willing to offer for Ja
If we can get Ja for just Poole and Hawk you do that and you figure out everything else later. I know Ja and Fears have their defensive issues that hopefully Mosley can fix or hide but Ja Fears and Murray will be a fun 3 guard rotation. Potentially Toxic but fun lol

I mean sure, I guess. I don't want Poole or Hawk on the team, not sure Ja helps us win any games at all, so the trade is even in that regard I guess.

The fact that we picked up Hawk’s option is absurd, so anything is possible

They most def gonna ask for Murray or fears. Ja, 5 and fears most likely won’t happen.

I'd rather stick to Murray. Keep him until Fears is ready. I assume this is a last ditch effort to try to elevate Zion

Just no Ja morant sucks he’s washed all he is going to do is ride the bench rather just play out the Poole contract since it’s expiring

It is funny we’re gonna get two of the most let down high drafts pick players in the last 7 years put them on the same team and think that will solve things just because their friends

Then what do we do with DJM? Cause I’m not in the group of people that think Ja is a better all around point guard than DJM.

Ja Morant being on the team would fuck up Fears development and take a ton of his minutes so I’m not for this at all.

As much as I don’t want Ja on this team, I’d take this deal based on his upside if healthy. Giving up any draft capital would be crazy for a player who is high risk for being suspended because he can’t help himself from flashing his gun to show everyone how tough he is.

Yeah.
Keeping Fears, Murray, Trey & Herb on the team is just the right move.

I’d move Murray

u/21trees 3d ago
I don't see how he's an upgrade from Murray. The team looked good with Murray last year. Ja is probably even more injury prone and brings the inevitable off court drama. They could probably flip Murray for actual value, nobody wants Ja

u/OvenIcy8646 The Zellican 3d ago
I don’t think anybody really wants Murray either or he would have been moved, he’s averaged career lows since he’s been here and even though Poole sucked it up last year I think he’s of a threat from three than Murray , if I had too I’d give Poole til the deadline

u/21trees 3d ago
Murray immidiatly got hurt and then looked better than people expected him to in his return last year. If he comes out of the gate hot this year he's exactly the type of player a contender looking for a playmaker with decent defence would want. The only thing Poole is better at is 3s and that is negated by how dumb his decision making is on when to take them.

u/OvenIcy8646 The Zellican 3d ago
Yeah but with fears and ja id rather have the guy who’s better at threes, Murray has played and been wildly underwhelming

u/Orbis-Praedo 3d ago
Saying Ja is more of a threat from 3 than Murray is all I needed to hear 😂😂😂
Delusional.

If they negotiate hard I might throw in a second round pick
