Brian Windhorst: Right now Ja Morant’s value is just incredibly low. And I'm not so sure it was… Well, I'm not going to make a speculation. Tim MacMahon: It's negative. It's negative. It just is. Windhorst: And what do you mean by negative? What does that mean? MacMahon:
What I mean by negative is I believe the Grizzlies would have to attach an asset to him. They'd have to attach at least a pick to him. Trae Young's value was neutral, he had an expiring deal. Early in the season, it was Trae who ended up getting traded for expiring, there was Ja who they could not generate any sort of a market for. And I don't know, I don't know that teams told the Grizzlies, ‘We'll be interested if you attach a pick.’ I just know, like I talked to a team that they were linked to him and they said ‘they'd have to attach assets for us to even think about it.’ Windhorst: I heard that as well. MacMahon: LaMelo Ball is the other one. And to LaMelo's credit, LaMelo is playing very good basketball. And at this point, I don't even think it's about restoring his trade value. And but I think it's more about, hey, Charlotte's got something good going on and like there's no reason to be looking to move on from him at this point. That's a credit to him and it's a credit to Charles Lee and the group they got in Charlotte. But for Ja, the party in Memphis is over.
