Ja Morant Unhappy with Grizzlies Coaching Staff; Appears to Have Quit on His Team Tonight; *UPDATE*: Ja Suspended 1 Game

Yikes. Trouble is brewing in Memphis. Ja's effort tonight in their loss to the Lakers was noticeably terrible. So much so that Blake Griffin called him out for it after the game.

Now we know it was intentional, as Ja was upset that the coaching staff called him out at halftime for his poor play/effort and didn't want to play him many minutes in the 2nd Half (according to him).

Ja was also seen avoiding the team huddle in the 4th Quarter.

Is Ja Morant actually good?

This seems like a bad contract.

He's a clown. His rap music and street hustle career can't start soon enough.

Banchero for Ja

You can't fire Iisalo after what you did to Taylor Jenkins, so if these dudes aren't being professional, they got to go. But seriously, this is my main problem, Morant and JJJ are overrated as hell. They both are talented but the amount of holes in their games after this many seasons in, is just sad. The Grizz have bent over backwards for them as well.

How does Morant still not have biceps? Dude avoiding the weight room like the plague.

Stay tuned I'm working on a trade in the trade section

This is probably contract related. Memphis does not want to give him his extension

Not an easy guy to trade either because he's such an immature ****. Why would you hitch your franchise to him when he's like this at 26?

Ja for Banchero
Ja for Trae

Trade Ja now while the Grizz can get value. That is all.

So you feel the best trade for him is a 1-to-1? I don't see Orlando doing a big for a small trade. Not to mention, Banchero's contract this year would mean Orlando has to add even more to get a deal done to match salaries.

Atlanta could be interesting because they also didn't want to extend Trae (and probably wouldn't extend Ja). Trae for all his faults, rarely misses games (this fluke play with Mo Gueye earlier in the week aside) and he's not an issue off the floor. I think the market may be very cold for both guys to be honest. A lot of younger/taller more versatile guards are beginning to surpass them.

I would trade Ja for Trae. Is that the only option? Don't love Trae. Grizz need to move off Ja now while he has value. I have no idea what offers would be available.
