Grizzlies GM emphatically shuts down Ja Morant trade rumors: We are not trading Ja, I’m not giving this nonsense more oxygen

The Ringer’s Howard Beck reported that he has spoken to an NBA executive who is not ruling out a Morant blockbuster in the offseason. “I’m constantly checking in with executives around trade deadline about like, okay, what we saw, what we didn’t see, what’s next, and in this league, you are always, always, always on the lookout for who’s the next wave of stars that are going to get dealt, right?” Beck said. “And somebody out of the blue said, keep an eye on Ja [Morant] this summer,” Beck continued. “I’m just saying it’s one of those things I’m just kind of keeping an eye on if they were to flame out early.” -via Sports Illustrated / February 18, 2025
