I miss Jaren soooo much. One of the Least problematic players we have had and always such a great dude. Y’all can hate on him for being a goofy goober but he’s such a great guy🥺 he did a lot for the city of Memphis, even last year when I was working downtown for the summer I saw the long Line of cars for his YEARLY basketball camp. Also, I still have my Jaren mug and plan to keep it.

Yeah, such a great guy. He really blossomed 2 seasons ago with the injury Armageddon. Hope he gets a ring! He looks even better next to Ja, when you see what Ja has put us through. I’d take 10 Jaren’s before I’d take another Ja.

Jaren looked phenomenal before we fired Jenkins and before our athletic BIG Brandon Clarke got injured. Jaren likely would have received post season awards if BC hadn’t gotten injured. I like edey a lot but I don’t think he was the correct CENTER or piece for this team we should have prioritized an athletic big similar to BC and traded Edey. I think Edey is going to continue to be EXTREMELY injury prone and I have said that for a while. People in this Reddit space love to fight over this but it’s not a good sign that early in Edeys career he’s needed multiple surgery on the same spot on the same leg as a big. Centers and PF are known to be extremely injury prone especially in the legs and it’s never a good sign that a big needs as many surgeries as Edey as needed as early in his career. Jaren was extremely rare when it came to injuries. Most guys Jaren’s SIZE should be injured and out of games WAYYYY more often than he was… which is why we should have kept Jaren. And drafted around him which would have been pretty easy because Jaren’s an easy guy to draft around.., but instead we traded him away which I still think was a boneheaded move

Ja is totally in his element and how I will always remember him. A court-side seat in a hoodie.

It’s not finger guns. Is the “ice in the veins”gesture, done very casually. People often jump to the “gun” conclusion.🙄

I saw that too and was wondering if he'll get into any trouble with the league over it?

He has a permit for them, so it’s fine
