The Grizzlies Have a Ja Morant PROBLEM
The Memphis Grizzlies have been bad this NBA season and Ja Morant is one of the biggest reasons why. He’s struggling to score, turning the ball over, got suspended for a game, and trade rumors are now circulating. It’s been a steep fall off from when he and the Grizzlies were dueling the NBA champion Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers 3-4 years ago. A rebuild might be coming but a Ja Morant trade might be impossible with the current situation.

Just watched the Warriors Thunder game. I’m sorry Cone but the physicality that Wallace and Caruso are allowed to play with needs to be allowed when defenders are guarding Shai. I’ve never been a hater or had an issue with that aspect of the thunder but I saw it clearly against Curry. Curry had 5 fouls that game… if Curry had 5 fouls then Caruso should’ve fouled out of that game
11:53 this kinda summarizes my feelings on this season overall so far. So many teams that's supposed to be better that aren't.
CHICAGO DOESNT WANT HIM
Temetrius 💔
Ja was fools gold the moment he entered the league. He spent the first half of his career trying to put dudes on a poster rather getting better. Grizzlies practically lost an entire series to the Lakers because the dude was hell bent on putting AD on a poster lol. The writing was on the wall long before his current antics.
from superstars to a trash player ja Morant is going down! dude ask ref like he's playing great🤣
Yes he is definitely one of the problems so is JJJ and Iisalos starting lineup and rotations lack of play being run lack of playing to players strengths but none of that excuses JA or JJJ playing poorly and JA obviously don't care , so I'm done expecting him to turn it around and jjj just not going to live up to his contract, Iisalo may not work out either but won't know until we have enough players on the court that are playing hard and capable adjusting their Games
Didnt golden state not win on the road last year as well?
I'm ready to blow it up get rid of both ja and jaren start over get a couple good enough players to take their place and some draft picks to rebuild with we already have at least 3 next year so I'm fine with moving on and possibly having a losing season we are going to anyway so why put off the enevidable, call 🤙 someone else about 12 and let's call some players that care
As a Knicks Fan, it’s crazy that we ended up with Barrett & turned it into OG. It feels like Ja doesn’t work on his game or shooting in the offseason. He just figures he’s so talented, he can just go out & be athletic. His shot is getting worse! I can see him helping teams like Miami or Milwaukee. I would say Dallas, but he may be a negative influence on Cooper.
Outside of his attitude, not sure if anyone is willing to take Ja Morant, considering he always gets himself in gun trouble.
When don't they
They shipped off his best friend on the court as well as his team and himself can’t stay on the court I don’t think it’s a surprise that he’s playing / acting like this
There's definitely issues with Ja here, but trading Desmond Bane was the most predictable bad move of the offseason. The loss of his gravity on the perimeter makes both Ja and JJJ's lives a lot harder. And given it was also (predictably for some of us) an inadequate move for the Magic, could this be the makings of a lose-lose trade?
Relevancy is not a word. I dunno what has happened to the English language but every basketball YouTuber says it. you don't need to add a suffix to another suffix. It makes you sound like you dont know English. All love but this is getting out of hand.
Ja to busy trying to be a thug than a basketball player 😂
Honestly Dillon brooks leaving is what made this team fall apart
its pretty clear whats happened here … the monstars stole his talent
Ja Morant is just a complete moron. $197 million dollar contract and he is an absolute disaster. Just a matter of time before he gets another suspension.
I'll never stop saying it – "I'm fine in the West" 😆
Europe men are not good citizens for the NBA they are worse for their EGOS JA is done playing for the COACHES in Memphis Tennessee they got to much power in their own head
Ja is not playing with the CO
Clippers licking their lips
4 cones 🤯
Ja is just not a very talented basketball player. For sure one of the most overated ones in the current NBA. He was never close to superstardom.
Injuries play as much of a psychological role as they do physical , subconscious hesitation from a career of getting hurt with his playstyle
fire the coach
He would look good in Minnesota, he has things he needs to fix but stop the bs ,making him sound like he's old or getting slow, not a fan of his but dont dismiss the talent
that's how you know even though ja keeps that thang on him no one's in any danger, dude can't make a shot if he's life depends on it
Memphian here…Ja has aged into being bad. We want him gone
Its Coach fault , look coach Jenkins had same team and grizzlies defense and offense were way better and new coach is horrible , Why is it J Jackson stats going down and Ja stats going down and They trade Ja murant , Jaren Jackson said he wants be traded to , Its not going do no good to trade them because that new coach sucks and bad hate say it GM needs get fire to , the GM is about picking good players and disagree with you about firing Jenkin , if Jenkins took over right now Grizzlies would winning , only reason why Jenkins had bad year because injuries but they over come them and Hope god they fire coach so GM want lose his job
He was never an elite player!!! Wtf are you talking about bro?!
Defense: abysmal
Passing: poor
Shooting: terrible
3 point: doesn’t exist almost
He has the offensive skills of overweight Shaq, and defensive game of an average WNBA player.
Did I miss something or was he always terrible as an all around player?
Plus now, we get to see that “woman” ZESTY attitude of his which should help him in the future 🙄
The point guard position is one of the hardest to play. Ain’t no way yall expect him to miss half a season and come back as productive as he was. Yes he will lose speed and agility battling a major injury. That style of play is maintained by extreme levels of athleticism. Ja will have to transition into relying more on his skill than his physicality. He will be fine.. give him a year.. he is human not a 2k player.
Wild to see guys like Cade, Ant, Wemby, Paolo, etc become what players like Ja, Zion, and Ben Simmons were supposed to be.
