Sounds like a Stone type of player /s Honestly, trade for Ja is risky so Stone won’t do it. We’re just going to sign Smart and run it back. Maybe Fred gets moved.
If it’s from Memphis it’s not a late round pick. I do it just for the entertainment value of Ime vs Ja for 2 years.
How many guards does Portland need. Geez.Now send them KD for Jrue and Scoot and DON”T sign friggin Marcus Smart.
Look at all the guards San Antonio and OKC have ..... while we're stuck with FVV and Reed and not much more.
[Haynes] The Portland Trail Blazers envision a starting backcourt of Damian Lillard and Ja Morant alongside Deni Avdija on the wing. A very unconventional move that the franchise believes has upside. Ja Morant gets his fresh start. Jerami Grant and Kris Murray off to Memphis.
The idea that a very serious-minded player like Dame (who also takes himself a bit too seriously IMO) and an idiotic prima donna like Ja will get along seems like a fantasy dream. If he stays, I think Jru will be a good match with Dame in both personality and skills, although both guys are definitely over the hill.
Apparently Clingan was untouchable and Blazers were still viewed as the most likely team for Brown. Draft capital obviously added.
[Charania] The Portland Trail Blazers aren’t actively pursuing Jaylen Brown and view Ja Morant as their big move
