Blazers Trade for Morant | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland just pulled off a blockbuster trade, sending Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies in exchange for Ja Morant — a bold move aimed at giving the star guard a fresh start and reigniting his career. With Morant sidelined for most of the past three seasons due to injuries and off-court issues, this could be his comeback moment. Now paired with Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija, Portland adds a third star — but also creates a crowded backcourt with Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson vying for minutes. The chemistry between Morant and Lillard remains uncertain, but the Blazers are betting big on the gamble — and without giving up any draft picks, it’s a risk with serious upside.
