The Memphis Grizzlies’ guard Ja Morant might get traded to the San Antonio Spurs this offseason. This trade window has been spicy due to the multiple trade requests we saw from the stars. The Blazers’ Damian Lillard asked for a move to the Heat, while the Sixers’ James Harden requested a trade to the Clippers. Although both the trades are yet to happen due to the rigidness of the players and the teams, other stars find it easy to move out of their teams.
The Murray State Racers product played 61 games for the Grizzlies last season and averaged 26.2 points, 8.1 assists, and 5.9 rebounds per game while shooting 30.7 percent from beyond the arc. The Spurs have just signed Victor Wembanyama through the lottery system, and they intend to build their roster around him. Can they sign Morant to start with the process? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs involving Ja Morant.
What would the Spurs offer for Ja Morant?
The Spurs are expected to offer Keldon Johnson, Reggie Bullock, Malaki Branham, and one first-round pick each from the year 2024, 2026, and 2028 in exchange for the Grizzlies’ #12. The Grizzlies traded Dillon Brooks and landed Marcus Smart. Will trading Morant be a good move?

Why would the Grizzlies trade-off Ja Morant?
The Grizzlies are getting a lot of capital in this deal; three players and three draft picks would be more than enough for them to try whichever new combination they are trying to build. They are very less likely to do this deal since the 24-year-old is the face of their team, but will the Spurs’ return package make them do it?

Why would the Spurs like to sign Ja Morant?
The Spurs landed a generational talent this summer, and combining Victor with Morant can do wonders for them. But the American professional is serving a suspension and is prone to injuries. Will the Spurs still land him?
