Windhorst NBA executives believe the substantial return for Jaren Jackson Jr could reshape the Memphis Grizzlies approach making them more willing to absorb undesirable contracts alongside draft capital in a potential Ja Morant deal

Windhorst When I say Ja Morant has no value I dont even think thats accurate I think he has what they call in the league negative value Meaning teams werent willing to take Ja Morant unless the Grizzlies also added draft compensation

Windhorst The Minnesota Timberwolves are actively recruiting third and fourth teams in an attempt to help improve their offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo

Windhorst The Cleveland Cavaliers are signaling that they are willing to move away from their core-4 in large part because there are legitimate worries that Donovan Mitchell will not extend with the franchise this Summer

Windhorst This deal can get done if Cavs say yes What's holding the Cavs up is I'm sure what they might have to pay James Harden in a new contract but also that they actually want to fracture the core 4 This ball is sitting in the Cavs court right now

Windhorst People I'm talking to believe there is real momentum for this Darius Garland is getting in his head that he's gonna be a Clipper James Harden is getting in his head that he's gonna be a Cav Hes going to get taken care of
