A thriving Ja Morant would make the Blazers’ next move obvious

Rip City Project argues that if newly acquired point guard Ja Morant thrives in Portland, the Trail Blazers' next priority should be acquiring another two-way wing. Morant, acquired in an offseason trade from the Memphis Grizzlies, expressed excitement at Media Day about securing a fresh start alongside veterans like Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday.

The writer notes that a successful resurgence by Morant would solidify four core starters alongside Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija, and Donovan Clingan. Consequently, the article suggests general manager Joe Cronin should eventually target an additional two-way wing, floating New Orleans Pelicans player Trey Murphy III as a potential trade candidate.
