Morant Trade Shakes Up Blazers Roster | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland just pulled off a blockbuster trade, sending Jerami Grant, Kris Murray, and cash to Memphis for Ja Morant — a high-risk, high-reward move that shakes up the entire roster. Morant, coming off a 20-game season with declining stats, now faces a crowded backcourt and must earn his role. Damian Lillard, recovering from a torn Achilles, may now play a diminished, bench-heavy role as both guards vie for ball-handling duties. Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson are most affected — Holiday could slide into a bench role, while Henderson’s minutes shrink, making him a likely trade candidate. Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe remain largely untouched, with Avdija as the safest fantasy play and Morant, Lillard, Holiday, and Henderson all carrying major uncertainty.
