    You would need to trade Jabari (Recent #3) and DFS which would get you to $36.9 mil + Future picks (BKN) to take back Morant $42 mil + #3 pick (for unloading him). This is all really about getting that #3 and getting another shot at a franchise player.

    Re-sign Eason on a friendly deal and try to boost Morant's value over the season to get rid of him ASAP but have him roll on Unit 2 to max out the speed.

    Unit 1 (Grit n Grind)
    FVV
    Thompson
    Durant
    Sengun
    Adams

    Unit 2 (Run n Gun)
    Morant
    Sheppard
    Eason
    Thompson
    #3

    FVV works as does Sengun in a trade as well. Keep Jabari, please.

    Sign me up. I was thinking something similar for Kyrie and 9 but #3 is probably worth more than any pg preference I have.

    Why would Memphis make this trade??? Everyone knows Jabari's ceiling whereas Memphis have a chance to draft Cam Boozer who has the skillset of to build an offense around.
    Most likely Ja Morant going to Phoenix for Jalen Green

    I can’t believe any Rocket fan would even consider Ja, short of it coming with the 3rd pick in this draft. Ja is one of the most negative assets in the league. They will have to pay to get rid of him.
