    Morant is just good for name recognition at this point and nothing else.

    He is a horrible fit next to Dame time and Deni.

    He's not really a bonehead I blame the environment. People love rumors and I just think his value sinking was stupid and I think Housson has missed out on a bunch of cheap young guards so far this offseason and they are going to regret it in the future.

    Portland reclaims the Jailblazers name.

    The Grizzlies were lucky they didn't have to attach assets to move him. There were rumors that there were teams insisting on draft compensation to take him.

    This is a dumb move for sure, but the dumbest front office in the league just paid Trae Young 200 million dollars when nobody but them wanted him due to his salary.

    He is a fake gangsta for sure but him getting in trouble for a legal carry gun in America is stupid. His team traded all his guys and fired his coach and was like "How come youre not as successful" lol Its dumb.

    One of the rare trades where negative value is traded for negative value.

    Morant will retire and run for Congress. He will pass laws. One might even call one of his laws:
    Ja's Rule. :cool:

    Ja probably mistakenly thought he worked for the NRA and not the NBA. But him acting like an idiot aside, the real issue is all his injuries.

    Ja was already a shell of the player he was due to the beating from driving the lane at his size. Can't hit a J either. Now, there's all the baggage, along with two strikes.
    How about all that dough he's making too? How much longer is that contract, a couple of years?
    What is Portland doing?
