The Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant agreed to the most lucrative contract in franchise history, which was an easy decision b/c he’s a terrific player.
But Memphis fans will celebrate it as more than that. He’s the superstar that genuinely wants to be in Memphis, and backs it up. – 12:12 AM StatMuse @statmuse
