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 It wasn't that the league doesn't think Jaylen Brown is a great player or an excellent player is that the league doesn't value what he produces at his salary slot 57M And that is why he was traded and that is why he was traded for relatively so little

Windhorst reacts to the Trae Young contract I think this is instantaneously one of the worst contracts in the league I don't mean to be mean I don't think they could trade this contract unless they attach the number 1 pick to it

Windhorst Did they get Jaylen Brown for free

Marks Jaylen Brown's trade value isn't that high around the rest of the league I had an analytics guy tell me We view Brown as the seventh-best player on a team

Charania The Portland Trail Blazers arent actively pursuing Jaylen Brown and view Ja Morant as their big move
