If a market develops for Ja Morant, I do think that would be interesting if you decide we've seen the best of Ja and we could get something for him.

But it doesn't seem like there's an appetite.

There's a lot of guys like Ja out there who there isn't an appetite for teams to trade for.

So I honestly think you play this year out, you try to make the play in, and then...

You get maybe the 12th pick, 10th pick.

Hopefully the Suns start losing games because the Grizzlies probably get their first round pick.

And then you get a couple of maybe later lottery picks and you build around Cedric and Zach.

Yeah, I am more hopeful because of the improved play of Jalen Wells.

I think seeing Vince Williams look healthy again.

And the fact that we have proof of concept that Jaren is great.

Obviously with Ja Morant too.

Some part of my fan brain thinks Ja has watched them win with defense and getting Edie the ball.

And maybe Ja can step in even if there is no Edie.

Ja's going to be like, oh, I'm on board with this.

I'm no longer going to question if it's Coach Isolo or anything.

He's going to try to win.

The schedule isn't as grueling as it was early in the year.

And they, of course, were still finding their way with the new system.

I do think you had a new coach while he took over last year's interim.

They came out of training camp with doing new things.
