MJ was a prolific **** talker - it was part of his game and his psyche and competitiveness.
I’m not comparing Ja to him at all but it really does reflect some guys heads if talk is going on.
The breakdown of what was said in that game was really interesting
RE: ESPN: Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have arrived, and everyone's hearing about
In the game tonight one of the announcers said that JM practices his landings....and trains with Trey Draper. Interesting.
I've always marveled at Morant's gracefulness... how free flowing his body looks when it gets air... liftoffs are flawlessly timed..hang time is expertly controlled and his landings...well they complete the package.
I don't know if I've ever seen any BB player with such thorough all encompassing body control.

I keep seeing articles about possible Simmons trade to the grizz for Brooks and a couple others with picks involved. I absolutely 100% do not want Simmons!
Dude is a cancer with attitude, can't shoot, doesn't try to shoot, and seems like a coward that would kill our locker room and team chemistry. Surely our front office is aware...

Those articles are coming from the 76er side. Last I saw they said Brooks, Anderson and Jones plus a couple of draft picks. They still believe they will get a lot for him but he's very damaged goods. I doubt if the Grizzlies would give up Culver for him...lol.

I get your point but would do Brooks, Anderson and Jones but only 1 first round pick. Simmons would probably thrive here with Ja drawing and dishing and Bane raining threes. Simmons attitude is the only thing that bothers me.
Jones and Anderson are probably gone after this year so basically we lose DB and a pick while adding Simmons. I trust our front office to make the right decision but Ben Simmons and JJJ would make a formidable inside duo.
That said, doubt this trade happens on our end. We will likely trade Jones and SloMo, keep DB and use one of our 3 first round picks in a trade scenario. Culver is probably gone too. I think Melton, Clark and Zaire are here until it gets to where we can't pay them.
Ja is fixing to get a max deal (another reason not to trade for Simmons, tough tow be in a small market) . We have great chemistry with our players and I hate to see any of them leave. We are going to have to pay to keep Bane pretty soon as well. Dont see us letting him go anywhere.

You really want a guy that makes $33M a year and will rise to $40M in a couple of years that just refused to play? Who knows if he will even be in shape. Doesn't seem like he would fit either. Plus why would you even think about potentially messing up the team that is playing so well. Crazy talk. I don't think he gets traded before the deadline. Probably going to have a hard time trading him after the season as well because Philadelphia wants to get some good value back for him.
RE: ESPN: Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have arrived, and everyone's hearing about
Dont really want to trade for him but I would take that deal if Philly would. I mentioned both those factors in my assessment of him but it is probably worth the risk. Put him with Ja and see what happens.
Ja DeAnthony
Bane Konchar
Zaire Clark
Simmons Tillman
JJJ Adams
That's a pretty strong 10 deep. Like I said its worth the risk imo but I love Dillon Brooks. Add Culver and Aldama 12 deep.
Just want to get a nice return on Tyus Jones and SloMo. We cannot let them walk without anything in return. I would not do the deal with two first round picks. Tyus Jones is a great young PG and DB is a stud and a defensive gem. Anderson is the type vet any team could use.
Its just message board speculation at this point. Like I said I trust our front office either way. I get standing pat but we are going to have to make some moves eventually. Simmons value is down right now but he is a legit top 20 level talent. Sometimes players need a change of scenery. Simmons time in Philly is over, and understandably so.
Tyus and Anderson's time here is almost done, the trade seems worth the risk imo. Years ago the Suns were ready to give up on Devin Booker. I think the 76ers are somewhat short sighted and at least the trade would be with a team not in our division. May as well be us that benefits from their misfortune
Just an opinion, not saying its our only option, just intriguing to me. Go Grizz!
