Games played each season so far:
67 (covid year)
63
57
61
9 (suspension + injury)
28 (this year, so far)

So availability/durability was a concern even before the suspensions. Several of us spoke about the likelihood that his game/style of play wouldn't age well.

However, even when healthy there was the elephant in the room comparable to Trae Young that, outside of an injury-stricken year to the rest of the field, how far are you really going with an exciting but frail 6ft pg with a streaky jump shot as your unquestioned best player?

Kinda felt like their ceiling was always dependent on the growth of JJjr

F that ignorant bastid. Never played a full season and he’s still cocky like he’s Steph or Kyrie. Him and his skinnin’ and grinnin’ pops can vamoose, the epitome of ‘greasy niqqas’:mjpls:


Used to like them but Ja’s act has wore thin. I hope he can become great again, but I’m over breh. Doesn’t take it serious imo.

Why wouldn't you move on if he's trending down and unreliable (on and off the court)


Depends,do you want to win,fill seats,or both. Ja is the both option. With the winning being a question mark. If winning is your main focus it should be explored. Mostly because of the injuries.

Brehh this place is insane.
At 25????

All I'm asking is him to be off my team so if someone has a trade offer I'm willing to listen. But a guard with no 3 ball that has durability issues that prevent him from driving can't be expected to bounce back right?

Ja missed majority of the season last year, Grizzlies were a lottery team. Ja back this year, 2nd on the team in scoring, they a 3rd seed...yet he's ass :dead:
You’re overlooking the important detail that the team struggled with injuries all last season and just not with Ja that caused them to struggle last season.

Without Ja y’all are going back to irrelevancy, if you cool with that then :hubie:
