Less than 48 hours after the Atlanta Hawks traded Trae Young to the Wizards, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported that the Grizzlies are "entertaining offers" for their star point guard, Ja Morant. There is a world where Memphis could get more for him in a deal than Atlanta did for Young.

Ja is making about eight million less this season ($39.
