Ja Morant trade ideas for 3 teams after Grizzlies put star guard on the market

SB Nationsports

Key Points:

  • Memphis Grizzlies have officially placed star guard Ja Morant on the trade block, seeking draft picks and young players in return, though they remain open to keeping him.
  • Morant's performance this season has declined significantly, with poor scoring efficiency, reduced scoring volume, and the team performing worse when he's on the floor; concerns also include his availability due to suspensions and injuries.
  • Potential trade destinations include the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, and Toronto Raptors, each with different trade dynamics and challenges related to salary and draft capital.
  • The Kings could offer future draft picks and young players but would need to absorb salary like DeMar DeRozan's contract; the Bulls might provide expiring contracts and young talent but face risks
