Jimmy Butler Has No Desire Playing For Grizzlies

According to Chris Haynes, Jimmy Butler has made it clear that he is not interested in playing for the Memphis Grizzlies.

There were a couple of teams Butler did not want to play for; Memphis was up there on that list. This comes after reports of him being willing to play “anywhere” but Miami.

The 35-year-old continues to seek a multi-year contract from a playoff-contending team. With that said, teams have dropped out of the race.

Most notably, the Golden State Warriors, who don’t want to empty their roster for one superstar.

Now, teams still want him—for example, the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks. As of this time, per reports, Phoenix is the only team willing to give the money Butler is looking for.

This season’s trade deadline is February 6th. Butler is currently serving a team-imposed seven-game suspension, as it’s been made clear if no trade has happened by then, or when the deadline passes, he will continue playing for Miami and leave in free agency.

In 22 games, Butler averages 17.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 steals.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, before the closing of Thursday’s trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers traded Eric Gordon to the Memphis Grizzlies.

The full terms of the transaction see the Grizzlies landing Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick swap. Philadelphia did this move to make way converting Dominick Barlow from a Two-Way deal to a standard National Basketball Association contract.

In 6 games this season, the 37-year-old is averaging 5.5 points off 57.1% from the field.

Grizzlies Want At Least One First-Rounder For Ja Morant

According to Marc Stein, the Memphis Grizzlies are looking for at least one first-round pick to comfortably move off of Ja Morant.

Since reports stirred up weeks ago, variations of what Memphis would want has fluctuated from multiple picks and a young player to just a young player; however, now, with official confirmation, the Grizzlies are at least looking for a first-rounder.

Currently, Morant is dealing with an elbow sprain, which will sideline him through the NBA trade deadline. This comes after his eventual return from a calf injury.

Due to shaky statistical play and injuries, the 26-year-old has a very limited trade market. Not many teams, this now includes the New Orleans Pelicans, are wanting to trade for the superstar point guard.

Outside of names like the Miami Heat, there hasn’t been a concrete frontrunner who undoubtedly wants Morant. Right now, it is unclear whether or not he will be moved by the deadline.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies will be without superstar Ja Morant for three weeks due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow. This injury was suffered during their game on January 21st.

This current timeline will see him sidelined through the NBA trade deadline, as he is a strong trade candidate on the market right now. The deadline is February 5th.

While it’s unknown if his latest injury will affect teams interest in the point guard, it is currently reported that Morant has a limited market. The Miami Heat have been a consistent team attached to the 26-year-old the last couple of weeks.
