Ja Morant lands with Raptors in proposed 3-team Tree Young trade

It’s time to run the best post-Memphis trade scenarios Grizzlies serve Ja Morant’s one-game suspensionwhich includes the All-Star Atlanta Hawks Trae Young in the exchange of three teams with Toronto Raptors. Many believe Morant’s days with the Grizzlies are numbered after the coaching staff led to the suspension, and his reluctance to accept a positive outlook for himself and Memphis.

In this trade proposalMorant goes to the Raptors, Young to the Grizzlies, and Immanuel Quickley would join the Hawks, The Ringer’s Bill Simmons suggested, according to The Bill Simmons Podcast.

“It’s three teams. And of course Trae Young has to be in it, too,” Simmons said. “Memphis gets Trae Young. Toronto gets Ja Morant. Atlanta gets Quickley, Murray-Boyles, the first pick they took, and protected in ’29. First. Not as unprotected, but kind of an asset. And Memphis basically turns Morant into Treo. And Trey goes there, and maybe everybody’s going to love him, everybody’s going to love him right away, everybody’s going to love him.

While the three-team deal keeps the Grizzlies afloat in trading Morant for Young, the Hawks would lose a proven All-Star for Immanuel Quickley, the Raptors’ starting point guard who missed 49 games last season. Plus, it’s hard to imagine the Hawks parting ways with Young after entering the regular season with such high hopes, especially during an MCL injury.

Expect to see more trade proposals centered around Morant in the near future, as the rumor mill will likely reveal potential suitors as the regular season continues.

Grizzlies Ja Morant Bill Simmons to trade proposal to Heat

The Ringer’s Bill Simmons’ Ja Morant trade proposal to the Grizzlies he wasn’t done trading three teams with the Hawks and Raptors. Simmons sees a way for Morant to fit with the Heat in a two-for-one move for Tyler Hero and Terry Rozier.

“It’s Miami and Memphis. You send Ja to Miami. You put KCP in the deal. Memphis takes back Hero and Rozier and you just wait. And Memphis basically turns Ja into Hero and Rozier expiring,” Simmons said. “Miami has to take an extra year of KCP. They get Ja, they’re rolling the dice so Ja can turn into a superstar again.”

It will be interesting to see how things play out for Ja Morant and the Grizzlies this season.
