Grizzlies Trade Ja Morant To Trail Blazers For Jerami Grant & Kris Murray

Cyro Asseo breaks down the blockbuster Ja Morant trade, with the Portland Trail Blazers acquiring the two-time All-Star guard from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray. ESPN first reported the deal, ending the Ja Morant era in Memphis. Cyro explains what the move means for Portland, including how Morant fits alongside Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson and Deni Avdija. The Blazers now have a crowded guard room, but they also land a 26-year-old former All-NBA point guard at a low point in his trade value without giving up major draft capital. Cyro also looks at the Grizzlies’ side of the deal, why Memphis moved on from Morant after already trading Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., and whether Jerami Grant can eventually be flipped for more value as the Grizzlies fully shift toward player development and future flexibility.
