Grant Joins Grizzlies, Morant Heads Elsewhere | Memphis Grizzlies News

The Grizzlies just pulled off a bold move, acquiring Jerami Grant and Kris Murray while sending Ja Morant out — a trade that’s as much about cap flexibility as it is about firepower. Grant, a 12-year vet averaging 18.6 points with elite shooting, is poised to be Memphis’ new offensive anchor, whether starting at small forward or lighting it up off the bench. While his defense isn’t lockdown, his scoring ability and veteran savvy could elevate the young roster — and maybe even make him a trade chip before the deadline. He’s not a rebounding machine, but with depth around him, that’s manageable. And despite his age, Grant’s scoring is trending up — expect him to shoulder even more load in Memphis, potentially boosting his numbers and his value.
