The league is trending away from undersized, offensive-minded guards. Just look at the Trae Young trade, where the Atlanta Hawks didn't receive any draft capital when they sent the Washington Wizards a four-time All-Star.
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant could be the next star moved by the Feb. 5 trade deadline, and while the situations differ due to contracts, Memphis will likely soon realize that the market for Morant isn't great either.
This recent market trend should make the Portland Trail Blazers feel much better about their decision to swap Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday with the Boston Celtics this past summer.
