The Memphis Grizzlies are set to face off against the Orlando Magic tonight as part of the NBA’s international games in Berlin. However, all the focus has shifted to Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, who has been the target of trade speculation all season,

Q: Ira, everything that’s out there is that the Heat can get Ja Morant for practically nothing. How do they not jump? – Sid.

To put it simply, not many players have upside that Castle has. The only true threats to Castle on the Spurs will be Victor Wembanyama and De'Aron Fox. We are talking a top player as a young, future piece, being the potential #2 option on a NBA contending team. I'll take Castle as a gamble for big things, especially in dynasty formats.

For much of this season, it seemed that this would be a relatively quiet trade deadline. That quickly changed once the Atlanta Hawks traded Trae Young to the Washington Wizards.

During a shootaround in Berlin on Wednesday, video showed Ja Morant in an animated exchange with Vince Williams Jr. The clip showed pointing, close body language, and visible frustration, though no audio confirmed what sparked the moment.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant will remain out against the Orlando Magic on Jan. 15 due to a right calf contusion . Morant has missed the past five games while dealing with the injury. He was listed as questionable during the first three games, but was ruled out the day before the past two matchups.

Last November, Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett was one of the first to lobby Ja to join the Miami Heat. According to Garnett's argument, Morant can revive his promising NBA career by being part of a no-nonsense culture, as the one Pat Riley perfected in Miami.
