Memphis Grizzlies trade Ja Morant to Portland Trail Blazers

Ja Morant has been traded from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Portland Trail Blazers. This move completes a reshaping of the Grizzlies' core, which began last season with the departures of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. Memphis receives Jerami Grant and Kris Murray in return but parts with Morant amid ongoing controversies regarding his conduct and style of play. The trade raises questions for Portland, which now has a crowded point guard situation considering the presence of Scoot Henderson, Damian Lillard, and Jrue Holiday. Further moves may be anticipated from the Blazers to address these roster dynamics.
