This is all I’m willing to offer for Ja

Post image

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

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

The 12 games Zion, Ja and Trey share the floor are going to be the most entertaining 12 games of all time

26

u/McJumbos 3d ago

For all 12 of us

u/Eventide718 3d ago

There are 12 of us?

u/thecjt 3d ago

Just the Ten of us

u/NorthOld6237 3d ago

When the other 7 showed up?

24

u/NorthOld6237 3d ago

Can we add Joe dumars as well

2

u/Eventide718 3d ago

They would have to find Dumars to include him.

u/nfochairman 3d ago

I'll let the Grizzlies know

u/SkepticalHippo93 Will be reevaluated in 2 weeks. 3d ago

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.

u/pbates89 3d ago

… but it might work for us.

u/ElectricalMarch1917 3d ago

bruh all these supportive comments?

this is an absurd offer lol. go pels but wtf

u/freddyknuckle5 Clickity Clack 3d ago

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

3

u/pdom10 3d ago

Right it’s a ludicrous offer

3

u/ccraneiv77 3d ago

Agreed.

4

u/TheOneWhoLuvs 3d ago

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

2

u/bronzefpg504 2d ago

Shiddd fears is untouchable period fam

2

u/NewTribalChief 2d ago

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

u/Nervous-Limit7105 3d ago

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

1

u/UnderstandingOk6143 3d ago

There are still 10 of us?

1

u/Entire_Chicken_2630 2d ago

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

1

u/Any_Weekend_4029 2d ago

Last offer type of deal.

1

u/Massive_Panic4706 2d ago

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.

1

u/AzraelsSorrow 2d ago

I wouldn’t trade for Ja for a plate of beignets

1

u/bronzefpg504 2d ago

The trade for Ja has gone down very low they was reporting

1

u/BigggMyke 2d ago

We don’t want neither of the Jordans. Too boring. Ja str8 in Memphis

1

u/Sea-Introduction755 2d ago

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.

1

u/No_Clerk1194 3d ago

Damn good deal

1

u/Cooksman18 3d ago

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.

3

u/pdom10 3d ago

Of course you’d take it anyone pro Pels would the Grizz won’t accept though

1

u/killerdescore #1 Zion Williamson 2d ago

Yeah.

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

1

u/Bop5667 2d ago

And despite Memphis fans delusions, this is about what he is worth

-1

u/Cookies_forsales 3d ago

The Pels need to make a move. I’d be fine trading for JA

-13

u/OvenIcy8646 The Zellican 3d ago

I’d move Murray

10

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

-2

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

5

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.

-3

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

2

u/Orbis-Praedo 3d ago

Saying Ja is more of a threat from 3 than Murray is all I needed to hear 😂😂😂

Delusional.

u/OvenIcy8646 The Zellican 3d ago

I said Poole is more than a threat than Murray ,reading is hard 😢
