Episode notes
Ja Morant Is A Risky Buy‑Low Bet
- Ja Morant is a high-risk, high-reward trade target because his decline is both performance and off-court driven.
- Teams acquiring him must bet on regained athleticism, health, and maturity to recapture his peak value.
Don't Overpay For Distressed Stars
- Consider short, low-cost bets on Ja only if your roster lacks other star paths and you can absorb the downside.
- Avoid mortgaging premium long-term picks (like a 2031 unprotected first) for Morant unless you also get a reliable two‑way wing.
Fit, Not Just Talent, Drives Trade Value
- Some teams (Kings, Raptors, Bucks) are logical Ja suitors, but fit concerns and playoff limitations persist.
- Morant's offensive style strains teammates and his non-shooting profile limits championship upside.
