Give me Ja and you take coach TI, and let’s see who wins. Get the hell outa here with that BS.
Ja is a bad fit and that's as nice as I can say it. Wasted talent with a cancer of entitlement. He'll never win a ring unless he wakes up and does a complete 720°
What happened exactly? Details please
Ja was completely correct. Sorry coach killing my parlays sitting him on the bench
Same dude that got Taylor Jenkins fired while y’all were 2 seed lol. The rest of the western conference appreciates it
Ja was NOT playing well and in turn he had a poor attitude. Not going to let him get away with this kind of stuff. Your team will never be relevant until you get rid of him. He has never been nothing more than a self-promoting showboat
Engaged?!? 😂💀 quit making excuses for this brat
Ja will be traded before Xmas.
SPOIL BRAT. PERIOD.
You are born with class and respect! Wow!
Jas character is not something I would ever put up with if I were an owner
I agree with everything you said Joe. This is supposed to promote growth
It's frustrating because if Ja just would have hit 4 layups, we would have won the game…
Honestly it's time for Ja to grow up. This is no longer an early 20's kid making a mistake. If you want to be a 50 million dollar a year guy for very long you can't act like a child.
Thoughts on a pelicans trade package?
D.Murray picks etc etc
It was wrong but memphis is not a team he is going to win with…he wants to win really bad. It's not going to happen but he is getting paid millions $$$$$$$.. for his services…so he's wrong but something needs to change…
Players know they have the leverage. Can speak out, quit and can load management etc. Guaranteed money and fans will stand behind players they love. No consequences and can force their way off a team. Not surprised and more players will do the same. Never thought I would see so many rich NBA players complain and be rewarded.
I’m losing sympathy for Ja. Go get some picks kleiman. I trust our gm more then I trust ja. Let’s get past the rebuild years we’ll be back
Ja isn’t the only player showing frustration and concern about the coach. TI isn’t the coach the Grizzlies need.
Sad to say because I became a Memphis fan in 2019 for obvious reasons..I don’t think Ja and Jaren are a real championship duo. Ja can’t shoot or lead, and Jaren can’t rebound or make smart plays. No title team’s stars look like that — they’re a downgraded Russ and KD. If they don’t show real growth in 2–3 years, it’s time to move on. Outside of ticket sales, they’re not beating SGA, Chet, and Jalen Williams. They lack defense, shooting, rebounding, and leadership. Funny enough, the only one showing leadership is Cedric😂—pushing Santi to tell him get to his spot, putting his hand up to signal calming the offense down, staying composed, and learning fast. And the biggest one not over whining and complaining to the refs matter fact Trade them now before they corrupt my boy😂.ps I keep seeing Miami trade talk lol Ja would not survive over there under that coaching and management love the guy but he needs to do some adjusting
The beginning of the end, Vegas said 39 wins, I m saying 36. We are about to hear a lot of trade rumors, lies, PR spinning, angry IG post and etc, but at the end of the season. It s going to end as a losing season, simple as that. 🤔
I love it !!!!!! Now ja can finally get traded out of Memphis.
Ja Come to Nola with your homie Zion .
My 30 second viewing experience and guess on what happened: Ja was driving/got fouled, etc, at some point he complains about getting bumped again and isn't getting the whistle, meanwhile the lakers get 100000 whistles, Ja gets frustrated, the coaches are probably worried about him getting Ted up, so they pull him since he is probably frustrated/etc, Ja than gets pissed about them wanting to pull him from the game, and etc. But yea, not sure how Ja/Jaren only get 4 free throws and the grizzlies as a team (who cuts a lot) only get 19 when Luka/AR get 22, let alone the rest of the lakers etc. Seems like a schedule loss as well when you look at that travel time, etc. So yea, I guess it was close, but this was probably some bullshit game where it felt like the lakers were cheating the entire time. We have seen a lot of these games in our history (more so Harden era, but Luka is our new Harden) etc etc. I don't think this is a Ja problem, I think this is a revenue sharing/in general Lakers buying wins problem.
It's all good. It will just get blamed on Jock Landale here.
Ole Taylor must be laughing his ass off over this
Trade Him B4 Its Too Late 😮
Iisalo cannot let himself become David Blatt. He has to put his foot down and even if that means him ending up fired, it's better than being a pushover.
I’m wondering if coach asked him to shoot the ball more instead of getting in the paint idk I’m very confused by performance we obviously don’t have all the info but disappointed yet again cause of this god damn kid we can defend him all I want even if it is the coaches fault you don’t go on tv and say that shit wtf wrong with him
Coach TI conversation with Ja and Trip before the game :hey guys Luka is coming back tonight and it's a nationally televised game and it's the Lakers so I can only play you guys 32 mins tonight….you're still getting paid so don't worry about it"
I'm a Ja fan but I was wanting to trade him before the season for Trae Young. His althletism is where most of his game amazes people but I think he lacks alot of leadership, heart, and outside shooting. Trae is not very athletic but I do give him better stats where Ja is low in.
He looking to get traded, this team never been the same since stevo got traded
It's time for Ja to go somewhere else … Memphis is not a team for him … The coaching staff is a mess, I'm agree with him … Because him and JJJ don't play their real basket-ball
It’s pretty hard to understand Ja’s reaction after the game. He did have over 16 minutes on-court time in the second half and played almost 8 and half minutes in the fourth quarter . Yet he did not score any points in the second half. 16 minutes without any points. How could this be coaching staff’s fault???
THE MEMPHIS AGENDA IS SO OBVIOUS DUMMIES JUST TO BLIND TO SEE!
Don't worry yal gone get what yal asking for Memphis won't have a team much longer! And certainly will never have another superstar player of Ja morant's caliber!
