    Ja Morant is a loser as a person, do not want, and he can't shoot.

    I would like Ime to hire someone to help with the offense like an Adelman in Denver (Not him anymore he probably stays as a HC)......and turn the offense over to them.

    And let Ime remain as the HC and motivator.

    If you really feel that way, lol, he’s certain to be a HOF now. I was leaning against that trade but now I’m ALL for it.

    He is one gun charge away from a 2 year ban.....no thanks too risky and he doesn't win **** and can't shoot outside. of 15 feet, he is a budding Russel Westbrook a guy that as his athleticiam wanes so will he.

    He sure has his supporters around the league, and him idolizing Carmelo.......people loved Carmelo despite his game not being versatile.

    He could be, but his inability to stay away from guns, when he is facing a lifetime ban is concerning.

    I think it's true. Doesn't mean they all view Cam as a superstar, but that they view him as the best value to acquire since the Rockets don't show outward interest in him.

    Lebron sees what Cam has, and has mentioned him, many around the league see the force in which he plays, you don't build around cream puffs like Jalen Green you build around BEASTS like Cam.

    I wish Cam can get as much leash and developmental runway as Jalen

    Morant has talent thru the roof, but struggles to stay healthy or out of trouble. Would be a risky move.

    Too risky, the Grizz are giving up on him, why give them a ton for a guy they are walking away from anyway?

    Ja can't shoot......in the playoffs this is a problem and he is not a leader by any stretch......just not a winner.

    Look at this point Cam has a higher trade value than Jalen Green.

    Your Cam love is ridiculous. Jalen has much higher trade value than Cam. It doesn’t really matter, because Ime has no interest in trading Jalen unless it was a highway robbery type of deal. Stone isn’t in control, Ime is.

    We either need to trade Cam during the draft or commit playing him 25 minutes a game at a minimum next year. I don’t personally think that he is better than Jalen right now And I do think there is a pretty big gap between them right now, but Cam is so much younger.

    yeah people are rightly concerned about his judgement and the off the court gun stuff, but the health issues are no joke either. Dude can’t seem to stay on the court. The fact that he can’t shoot, means he’s not a good fit for the current roster. A true talent but we need shooting in the backcourt.

    This. I really wish they would focus their attention to Cam and see what they really have with him. The man has an aggressive drive that should not be shied away from. Maybe the team has been focusing on the wrong SG. The coaching staff needs to give him a full and fair opportunity even if he is slow developing on defense. Harden became a superstar without being an elite defender.
