Doesn't really have anything to do with physical limitations. Brice is bad on D because of mental imitations and Walt is just a rookie playing alongside a bunch of young players

Bradley played in the NBA Finals...
Mostly due to injuries to Thomas Bryant and Isaiah Jackson. Are you saying he's good now?
Walt having a 6'4" wingspan is a limitation, unfortunately. And Brice doesn't exactly move great laterally.
And what do they have now? Bradley isnt playing because they are trying to lose. They are playing him because he's the best they currently have.
Brice moves well enough if he had any kind of anticipation, awareness, or even just effort on defense.

Booooo
I could see Memphis trying to trade everyone mid-season and build around Coward. They kind of set themselves up for it with the Bane trade. They got a ton of picks and now would be the best time to abort the Ja/JJJ core.
Really curios as to what Morant's value would be if Memphis put a "must sell" sign on his head. Not sure what playoff team he really elevates. Maybe Houston, but shooting would be a concern, but he would make them better. FVV/Morant swap would work then Houston throws in a pick or two?
Miami would be the other team. Miami trying to control Morant would be a ride though. Bucks could be an option as well if the price was super low given their lack of picks available to trade (if they have any)

The only way a playoff team would be interested in Morant is if he brought microwave scoring to a second unit. (Kind of a rich man's Sexton, and to be honest – I'm not even sure if Morant is that much better than Sexton these days.) We all know that won't happen, though, because Ja has a giant ego. He thinks he's a superstar who doesn't have to follow any rules.
It's also pretty likely that contenders wouldn't want to take the risk of having Morant in the locker room. He's destroyed his image is and is nearing 30. His trajectory is going only one way.
IMO Morant has become the "Better learn Chinese, buddy" meme in human form. It's not at all far-fetched that he'll finish his career in some overseas league where he can still feel he's a star and everyone worships him.
Maybe he can ask Stephon Marbury for some tips.
Some more food for thought:

Is Brooklyn going to win a game this year?
The crazy thing is that they are this bad on the backs of their vets. They are barely playing any of their 2025 draft picks.

I'm not concerned about Orlando. I think Indy will get much better once they get healthy. Memphis currently scares me.
They actually won a game last night! Also Derek Queen was very good for them last night (13pts, 8reb, 7ast, 4stl).
