The relationship between Ja Morant and his coach seems incompatible, making his continuity with Memphis Grizzlies increasingly complex. The fracture between both parties is total, and this is already being leveraged by management from various franchises to position themselves for a potential trade. According to NBA rumors, one of the teams most interested are the Phoenix Suns, who already have a trade idea in mind.
Something must be done to regain hope in the Phoenix Suns, a franchise that doesn't want to undergo a rebuilding process but is aware that it needs to make some moves to properly surround Devin Booker. The shooting guard is having a great season that is impacting his recovery of status as an NBA player, but it is clearly insufficient to consider that the team is in a position to compete for important things.
While Jalen Green has not yet appeared, there are many doubts about the compatibility between both players, as well as the maturity, discipline, and tactical fit of the former Rocket. Therefore, from the Phoenix Suns management, they would be willing to put together a trade package with him and the 2027 first-round Draft pick, along with 5.9 million dollars in a trade exception. This could entice a Memphis Grizzlies team aware that they have a time bomb on their hands as long as Ja Morant remains on the team.
