After some unsubstantiated rumors and reports, the notion of the Phoenix Suns making an offseason trade for Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant has officially been shut down.
Suns trading for Ja Morant reportedly ‘not an option’
Morant, 26, was often the subject of rumors linking him to Phoenix due to his standing as a star-level lead guard, his connection to former teammate Dillon Brooks and a belief that Memphis may be looking to move on.
PHNX Suns reacts to the latest news and takes a look at what it could mean for Phoenix’s offseason plan in the short term and in the bigger picture.
Does the fact that the deal won’t happen now mean that it will never happen? Or might the Suns be eyeing a different type of player to add during the 2026 offseason.
The crew discusses the Morant news before shifting its focus elsewhere as Round 1 of the 2026 NBA Draft is just two weeks away.
They discuss the NBA Finals and have some fun to close the episode. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo, @StephenPG3 and @FreckledMamba!
