NBA T’Wolves kicking tires on Ja

[Exstatic]

No urgency yet, but interest, and maybe more as their PG position remains unsettled.

Ja, man

Feels like he wouldn't be a very good pairing with Ant though I understand PG is obviously a huge position of need for them so he'd obviously be an upgrade. But I feel like someone like Derrick White is the kind of guard you want next to Edwards

 

[JMarkJohns]

Ja still thinks he’s an alpha. Ant is one. Not sure how this works. I echo the White comment. He’s perfect. Not sure they have the assets for that tho.

I seriously wonder if any team will pull the trigger on acquiring Ja. If Nico gets fired today, there is probably no GM left to try to get him. It will be interesting to watch how things play out in Memphis.

I don't see what Minnesota has to offer... Toronto seems like the better trade partner-- they can do some combo of Quickley, Collin Murray-Boyles, Mamuk, picks... plus not send him to a conference rival. Though no doubt an Ant & Ja combo would be entertaining from the perspective of NBA gossip.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Ant seems like the kind of guy who would bust Ja's ass if he pulled the same crap there. Could be a pretty terrifying team if Ja wasn't such a China doll.

I mean what did the Spurs have to send out to get Fox? About the same talent level but Fox is good in the locker room and not constantly hurt like Ja. Memphis will probably get a significantly worse return than Sac got for De'Aaron.

Headcase with gang problems, declining athleticism, major injury and character concerns, quits on his team. What's not to love?

Agreed, though Sacramento is also historically terrible at trades and team management in general. But at least Quickley would vaguely cover what Ja does... I don't see anything from Minnesota that Memphis needs.

Sit on the bench in street clothes? lol

Honestly think teams are going to be very wary with his attitude and injury history and Memphis won't get much back.

Could very well see this end up like Rodman where there was only one suitor and Memphis just has to take whatever they offer.

Nets don't own their '26 and '27 picks.
I can see them going for Ja next summer.

Marks has done everything to load up for a quick rebuild.
One year of disgusting tank and a clean cap situation next summer.
Other than rookie contracts, the only players they'll have on the books are Claxton, Mann and MPJ on an expiring deal.
