The 3 Perfect Teams for Ja Morant Next Summer
His season with the Memphis Grizzlies is not going well, and a change of scenery would do him a world of good
It seems like we're going to have a very eventful summer market in the NBA with several stars being traded. While Kevin Durant's move is confirmed on one side, today let's talk about NBA rumors, another player who seems to be leaving his franchise, Ja Morant, who is having the worst season of his career with the Memphis Grizzlies, who are performing very well despite him.
It is clear that with all the gun troubles combined with the injury, he has lost his touch and needs a change of scenery to try to become the man who captivated us a few years ago.
He has three more seasons signed for $39, $42, and $44 million per year, which, given how salaries have risen lately, is not an exorbitant amount. Everything indicates that the Grizzlies want to trade him this summer to try to elevate the project with Jaren Jackson as the centerpiece.
So far, there are three teams in the running for Morant:
- Miami Heat: It's exciting to imagine him with Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, although it's hard to think he fits the 'Heat culture' with the strict Pat Riley behind it. However, there is no doubt that the president has been blindly searching for another star for a while and, following Jimmy Butler's departure, he needs to upgrade the team in the summer.
- Orlando Magic: Here, it's also clear that Banchero and Wagner need a star point guard by their side. The team falls apart without Jalen Suggs, and they have cap space available for Ja. He would fit perfectly.
- Minnesota Timberwolves: Another team in disarray after Karl-Anthony Towns left, which we imagine will try to offload Julius Randle and attract a top playmaker with Mike Conley already past his prime. With Anthony Edwards and Morant, they would instantly become the new Bad Boys.
