For the first time since they chose him with the number two pick in the 2019 Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies have begun to listen to offers for Ja Morant. This is how Shams Charania reported it in surprising news once they were away from their controversies at the beginning of the season, but it is not surprising either.
The journalist of ESPN He adds that this is just one of the alternatives that the Tennessee franchise manages, which sees in some of its young people a sufficient core around which to build. And Ja Morant could have a place in that ‘tomorrow’ but when this type of information is leaked it is because relationships are diminished.
Morant is having the worst season of his career. The injuries and discontinuity are not news, but their lack of aggressiveness and their drop in numbers. All this seasoned by the exchange of statements with his coach Tuomas Iisalo that led the Grizzlies to suspend him.
The point guard’s contract extends until the summer of 2028. That is, this and two more seasons at a rate of more than 40 million dollars annually. His market value is uncertain, especially coming from the transfer of Trae Young. Maximum players are more difficult to fit than ever due to the rules of the agreement signed two years ago. Despite this, and again taking into account the Shams leak, several teams have already asked about Ja Morant.
