Stephen A. Smith questions Desmond Bane trade, suggesting NBA stars feel unsafe in Memphis amid major Grizzlies roster shake-up.

That is not the case, the Grizzlies have shot down overtures about either Ja Morant or Jaren Jackson Jr., a league source told NBC Sports. That echoes other reporting, specifically at ESPN, that Memphis is looking to retool around Morant and re-sign Jackson.

The Memphis Grizzlies added four first-round picks and a swap in the Desmond Bane trade with the Orlando Magic.
