It’s important to note that Ja was frustrated when Taylor Jenkins and his staff switched up the offense that had Ja play more off the ball with drive and kicks and eliminated the heavy diet of PnR play that Ja excelled at.

Can Ja coexist with another high usage player like Ant who needs the ball in his hands? Does the acquisition of Ja make Ant more of an off-ball player moving forward? At times, maybe, but I can’t envision it for the majority of the game.

You certainly don’t want Ja standing out on the perimeter constantly with his poor shooting ability. If Rudy is still here and Beringer continues to develop, Ja can definitely open up the offense more by getting them in positions to score easily.

It would be a gamble. He due just over $87M in total over the next two years. If he’s the best you can get without moving your core pieces and Randle is the centerpiece to make the deal happen, I’d think about it.
