Goodbye Grizzly! Morant or 3 for 1 to leave the team, the next home exposure
Grizzlies star Morant was banned for 25 games by the NBA for illegal possession of firearms. Morant played in 61 regular-season games for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 26.2 points, 8.7 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game, leading the Grizzlies to a second-best record in the West to the playoffs. As the star of the Grizzlies, Morant is known as the king of waist by many fans with his explosive physical fitness. He is a future star of the alliance. Recently, Morant returned to the training ground wearing a T-shirt with the words responsibility, gratitude, and rebirth. From this detail, you can also see that Morant hopes that Grizzlies management may beg you to give him a chance to prove himself again.
It stands to reason that a star of Morant's level is definitely not for sale for the Grizzlies. But the gun incident was extremely bad throughout, and the Grizzlies were likely forced to trade Morant in order to protect their image. What's more, the Grizzlies also performed and recorded quite well without Morant, and such a departure provided space and possibility. And there are many teams in the league that are very interested in Morant. According to the US media "Backward World" suggested that the Grizzlies can discuss a 3-for-1 deal with Morant involving Morant, the specific content of this deal is that the Grizzlies send Morant from the Pelicans to get top pick Zion Williamson, a 2026 first-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick, if the deal is reached, it means Zion and Morant will swap their owners next season.
Zion's physical fitness and talent are undoubted, and he is praised by many media peers as James's successor. But injuries have plagued him in recent seasons, and he hasn't played much time for the Pelicans. Coincidentally, Zion is also an expert in playing with guns, and both are future stars of the league, but both have been warned by the league for misfire. Personally, I feel that Morant is better than the current Zion in terms of injuries, personal ability, and future development space, and Zion's glass physique and huge contract are the main reasons why the Pelicans traded it. If this deal goes through, the Pelicans will definitely be the party that will not lose. The gun incident did take a toll on Morant's reputation, and Grizzly management was troubled by it. But after the league's beating, I think Morant himself will also restrain and will not do anything to ruin his great future. And the Grizzlies are willing to give Morant some more time to observe his words and actions.
So to sum up, I personally believe that the Pelicans and Grizzlies about Morant and Zion swap deal is currently not possible, I don't know what everyone thinks about this deal, welcome to give your own views below the comment area, thank you for your support.
