How long till he’s traded and who the hell takes that mess? If Memphis has to attach picks to dump him, he might be worth it if you’re already in a rebuild period.

Here's the Grizzlies' coach explaining his sub patterns. Sometimes I think a lot of this is being overthought. You want your best players playing, getting into a rhythm is a thing, and guys in certain lineups having chemistry makes a difference.

Frustrating your franchise player and running him out of town is certainly a choice.

I might take a chance on Ja. He's at the age when a lot of guys mature, and a change of scenery might be all he needs to get his shit together. I would absolutely only trade for him with Booker's blessing.

We just had a big emotional baby and we hated him, let's not go down that road again.

Ja in Milwaukee would actually be insane if he could stay on the court.

Wait, MEM gives up their 2 best players, what does MIL give up?

Tuomas Iisalo. I was wondering why the tweet repeatedly used a lower case 'l' for his last name. Turns out it's a capital I as in Indiana. The guy is Finnish and his last name starts with two 'i's. He also might be finish(ed) as a head coach if he is going to run his star player out of town. On the other hand, maybe Morant is just a baby and can't or won't adjust to what his coach is asking.

PHX gets: JJJ
MIL gets: Ja
MEM gets: Jalen Green, Ryan Rollins, Kuz, Portis

Throw some picks around, wait until all guys are trade eligible and you got yourself a deal!
