If the Grizzlies lose early in the playoffs and are looking to make improvements, Morant could be the catalyst in a deal while Memphis builds around Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. It’s certainly not imminent, but if Memphis disappoints down the stretch, keep an eye out come summertime.

The Memphis Grizzlies could be facing a major decision regarding Ja Morant’s future with the franchise after this season. Morant, selected second overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, has spent his entire six-year career with the Grizzlies and has firmly established himself as one of the league’s brightest stars.
