    I am curious what does being suspended from all team activities at the start of the offseason really mean? Is this going to have any impact on him? He doesn't get to go to the draft? Serious what offseason activities is he missing that he would really care about?

    NBA could suspend him for the start of next season. Team just figured they better act quick before the league does. Good point about what penalty from the team for off season. Maybe something in his contract?

    No use of practice facilities, no attending Summer League?

    Just dump his butt now. Ja didn’t learn anything from his last incident. Grizzlies should just get the most value out of him now and trade him.

    If Memphis wants to trade Ja, should Portland consider? (Just pure speculation, no rumors or anything, just a hypothetical)

    Morant can bring it. His on court talent and hustle is top tier. Paired with Lillard it would be a dynamite 1-2 punch. Ja really needs to grow up and become a professional off the court. Which is the best aspect of the Blazers, they handle everything like pro's.

    I wonder if Zbo gave Ja his Hoop Family?

    Yes. We need to trade for him and Isaiah Livers of the Pistons.

    Then we'd have the Ja-IL Blazers again.

    Ja is a fool and I don't know why this last time wasn't a wake up call but maybe this time will be. I guess he could go in a direction we've rarely seen like a Washburn or more like Simmons but most likely this dude gets his life on track and is never seen with a gun again on live video bit this is from a guy that thought Ben Simmons would straighten his shit out.

    What was Ben Simmons off the court stuff? Am I forgetting something?

    You're not missing anything. I was just saying that I thought that Simmons could regain his confidence and therefore his game... or at least I was very hopeful that would be the outcome. I think Ja will stop this off the court nonsense or at least I'm very hopeful that will be the outcome. Simmons' career isn't over or anything but so far that prediction of mine that a really good to great player would get his shit together isn't looking like it was correct. Ja should, logically stop doing this shit. ZBo was able to mature, I think if IG Live were a thing during ZBo's early career when the basketball family was always around that he would have been in similar trouble a lot but there wasn't a hint of that stuff in the second half of his career.

    I've seen the video, as soon as Morant starts showing his gun the dude filming put the camera down and tries to hide it. Unfortunate that Ja is much dumber than his friend.

    If I was his friends, I would be scared that dude is going to accidentally shoot me.

    My prediction is that he'll be suspended for the first 30 games next season.
