The asking price of Morant s trade is exposed! Are the two giants interested in joining forces with Hua Zi? It would be wiser to follow Butler s example

On November 11, many teams have reported internal strife recently due to poor records, and the reports of internal strife are all Western Conference teams. Why is this happening? In order to achieve good results this season, many teams in the Western Conference have spent a lot of effort and spent heavily on signings during the offseason. As a result, the team's record is not ideal. Today, the US media reported that the Mavericks intend to lay off Nick Harrison. This is what many Mavericks fans want to see. In addition, the Kings also want to dismantle their powerful lineup, and the Pelicans want to change coaches.

The Grizzlies have been reporting internal strife for many days. In fact, their internal strife is not caused by their record. Before the internal strife occurred, the team's record was 3 wins and 2 losses, which was relatively high in the Western Conference. However, after the internal strife, the team has 1 win and 5 losses, and has now fallen to tenth in the Western Conference. According to the current situation, if the Grizzlies retain their current lineup, there is a high probability that they will not make the playoffs.
Because Morant has begun to mess up, because of the team's suspension and the coach's cynicism, Morant has long been dissatisfied with Memphis. He once said bluntly: Playing here has lost the fun. Recently, in order to force the Palace team to trade him, Morant's performance on the court can only be described as irritating. He played in a way that he was not good at. The result was very irritating data. In the past 5 games, he averaged 15 points and 9.2 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only 27.6%.

How can such a performance be considered the work of a star? Wouldn't Morant's move affect his deal? Generally speaking, if the team and the star have negotiated and parted ways, then the star will get enough ball rights to perform well, so that the old club can also exchange for more chips. If Morant and the Grizzlies want to break up due to conflicts, Morant will definitely think about his new club. The worse he plays, the lower the transaction value, the easier it will be for the new club to get him, and the Grizzlies will suffer a dumb loss.
Now the Grizzlies are anxious to get rid of him. After all, if this continues, his trade value will become lower and lower, and it will also affect the team's record. According to famous reporter Kurt, if the Grizzlies consider trading Morant, they hope to exchange for a star player who can drive ticket sales, or a large number of draft picks and young players in return. To put it bluntly, the Grizzlies still want to sell tickets. Why do they want to offend Morant? In a small ball market like theirs, it is difficult to get stars who can guarantee attendance.

Although according to US media reports, Morant's trading market is not good, there are still teams interested in him, such as the Timberwolves. According to a Wolves reporter, the Timberwolves have made inquiries about Morant. The Timberwolves want to get Morant to form a super backcourt. Their current core point guard Conley is old and no longer has the ability to start. Therefore, Randall is the organizer most of the time in the Timberwolves' starts this season. They need a true point guard.
Morant's organizational ability is definitely at the top of the league. He is the best player at breaking points. Even if he failed in the past 5 games, he has averaged 9.2 assists per game, which already illustrates his ability. If Morant and Edwards form a double backcourt, although I am not optimistic about their record, the attendance and attention will definitely be guaranteed. These are almost the two most entertaining backcourts in the league now, and they are also the facade players that the NBA has praised.

The reason why I am not optimistic about the record they led the team is because Morant does not fit in with this team. Everyone knows that Morant needs the ball in his hands to be effective, and he has no space ability, and Gobert is not available. Randle also likes to kill with the ball, which also makes their offensive space very crowded. In addition, Morant's personal defensive ability is not very good, which will affect the Timberwolves' defensive system. In fact, the Timberwolves need backcourts like Van Jordan and Holiday more.
In addition, according to reports from Heat reporters, the Heat are Morant's potential destination, and Riley's team has always been the destination for players in trouble. There is no problem in saying this. Many of the stars who were questioned have achieved their worth in the Heat. Tim Hardaway was reduced to a substitute in the Warriors, but he became a star again in the Heat and completed his redemption. Butler, whom everyone is familiar with, forced the Timberwolves to leave the team and was considered a cancer. In the end, the Heat built a team with him as the core and reached the Finals in two years.

I think if Morant wants to prove himself, it is the best choice for him to go to the Heat. Spoelstra's system can maximize his value. Many undrafted players can play their worth in Spoelstra and win tens of millions of contracts, let alone stars like Morant. If possible, I think imitating Butler is the best choice, but Riley probably won't pay too many chips. This guy is notoriously prudent.
Having said that, what do you want to say about Morant now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
