During his six -year career in the NBA there is no doubt that yes Morant has been the best player of the Grizzlies. However, it was spoken among franchise managers, especially after the Luka Doncic Trade, that the Young Point Guard can be traded this summer from Memphis.
The news spread like an ongoing fire fire via the internet at the start of the week after the last episode of the Real Podcast, when Howard Beck van de Ringers revealed that an anonymous director assured that the name of Morant was thrown around as a potential commercial candidate if his team does not have a strong play -off run this season.
The reason could be the fact that there is a directive of Memphis’s ownership to reduce the payroll, especially in view of the fact that the core of the team becomes more expensive without necessarily more competitive and to fight for titles.

Beck assured that an NBA director or orphaned as a star to keep an eye on this next summer. “I constantly come across managers around Handelsdeadline, okay, what we didn’t see, what we didn’t see, what the next is, and in this competition you are always, always, always looking for who the next is golf of stars that will are treated, right?
“… and someone from nowhere said, keep an eye on yes [Morant] This summer, “the Ringer reporter shared. “I just say it is one of those things that I just keep an eye on if they would go out early.”
There are many reasons for this rumor, one of them is that the 25-year-old has only participated in 41 games since the beginning of the 2023-24 season. Believe it or not, Morant has never played more than 63 games in one campaign. The dual all-star is on average 20.7 points and 7.4 assists in 32 Starts this season.
We cannot help either, but mention that there have also been many off-court problems with regard to the point guard, especially two situations on social media in which he had seen irregular behavior and had shown a gun. He was suspended by the competition in both occasions, including a historic ban of 25 games.
