NBA Trade Idea Sends Ja Morant to Celtics in Superstar Swap



Will Ja Morant be with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2025? After a season plagued by injuries and off-court issues, former All-Star guard Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies found themselves victims of the Oklahoma City Thunder via a first-round sweep during their first-round playoff series. With the rumor mill swirling around Morant's future with the Grizzlies, could a major injury to Jayson Tatum, coupled with new owners likely to want to shed some money, see the Boston Celtics as outside-the-box players in the Ja Morant sweepstakes?

Ja Morant Makes Rare Message on NBA MVP Race



The NBA MVP race appears to be down to two players: Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. While both players have deserving cases, it almost seems like more is on the line for the two stars heading into Sunday's Game 7, where they go head-to-head for a chance to make the Western Conference Finals. For Jokic, winning would give him his fourth league MVP, cementing him as one of the greatest centers in NBA history, as he'd join Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only big men to do so.

NBA Trade Idea Sends Ja Morant To Top Western Conference Team



The Memphis Grizzlies' 2024-25 season was surely an interesting one, as the hopes were sky high heading into the All-Star break as the second seed in the Western Conference. On top of that, the Grizzlies suffered a historic Game 1 defeat from the Oklahoma City Thunder, and then were swept to cap off a season that leaves the team with plenty of questions this offseason. After making a major change by firing head coach Taylor Jenkins before the end of the season, the organization could look to part ways with certain key players during the offseason. One player that continues to be the talking point of conversations in Memphis is Ja Morant.

NBA insider reports latest on Nico Harrison's job security with Mavericks



Dallas Mavericks fans have been calling for general manager Nico Harrison to be fired ever since he traded Luka Doncic away in February to the Los Angeles Lakers in return for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and just one future first-round pick.

Grizzlies Star Reveals Getting Uninvited From Steph Curry's Camp



The Golden State Warriors have created a dynasty over the last decade and then some, winning four NBA Championships since Steve Kerr's arrival as head coach. While his arrival triggered their winning ways, it's clear that star guard Steph Curry has been the main reason for their success.

Unfortunately, Curry's career won't last forever, as he's 37 years old and will be 38 by the end of next season.
