Tim MacMahon explains why Ja Morant's suspension is "a sign that his act is wearing thin in Memphis"
"This is a sign that his act is wearing thin in Memphis," MacMahon said on the Hoop Collective. "It is an awfully significant step for a franchise that many times over the years has been perceived as extremely reluctant to hold Ja Morant accountable."
Despite Morant’s undeniable talent, Marc Spears revealed that many NBA executives are not keen on trading for Ja Morant.
Ja Morant's displeasure with the Memphis Grizzlies has led to a new wave of trade rumors, but teams are not exactly rushing to try to acquire the star
The Grizzlies may want to trade Ja Morant amid his latest issues, but they might find it difficult to do so.
The reported tension between Ja Morant and Tuomas Iisalo came from Iisalo's sub patterns, prioritizing shorter, more intense stints. Iisalo was asked about the concerns players may have about that taking them out of rhythm, gave a great answer to his thought process ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/1eEEN8AbV2
There seems to be some tension brewing in Memphis. And by the way this smells, it’s not a good sign for the Grizzlies.
Having yielded little playoff success with their current roster, the Grizzlies, Tim suggests, should trade Morant and Jackson and build around their young players, such as Cedrick Coward, Jaylen Wells, and Zach Edey, as well as future draft picks.
